Sir Patrick Stewart To Play Professor X Again

The fairly major Montreal Comic-Con wrapped up recently, and one of the premiere guests was Captain Jean Luc Picard himself, Sir Patrick Stewart. During his Q&A panel, someone stepped up to be “that guy,” and asked him the obvious question — “Will you ever play Professor Xavier again?” To which the esteemed actor gave a sly smile and replied: “I think there is every possibility. Yes, I will be reprising."

But when? My money is on 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' which is the sequel to 2011's 'First Class'. The story, for those who are unfamiliar with the story from the comics. It deals with a dystopian alternative future in which mutants are incarcerated in internment camps. An older Kitty Pryde transfers her mind into the younger, present-day Kitty Pryde, who brings the X-Men to prevent a fatal moment in history which triggers anti-mutant hysteria. Since Kitty wasn't in 'First Class' I'm guessing it will be someone else from the team. Either way I'm really looking forward to it!
