Laurence Fishburne has expressed his interest in playing Professor X within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
So, I was reading an interview with the guy who plays Geralt in The Witcher, and he was talking about why he wanted the role. It’s not just about looking the part, apparently! He said it actually stems from being a huge Marvel fan his whole life, which I totally get – who doesn’t love a good superhero story?
Laurence Fishburne expressed his deep love for Marvel, both the comic books and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He explained that he’s been a fan since childhood, reading comics in New York City and connecting with how the stories reflected his own life and surroundings.
Growing up, I definitely connected with a lot of Marvel characters and would have loved to play them in a movie. But I’m really happy with how the casting turned out and how the films have been made. I’m a big fan of the Marvel movies overall.
He explained that Professor X feels like the ideal role for him right now. He feels it’s a good fit given his age and the types of characters he typically plays, making it a natural choice for this stage of his career.
Laurence Fishburne shared some thoughts on how he might put his own spin on the role of Professor X, playfully suggesting he’d love to recreate the character’s famous eyebrows from the comics. He said, “If I get the chance to play him, I’ll definitely ask if we can include the eyebrows.”
Charles Xavier, also known as Professor X, has been played by two actors in the X-Men movies. Patrick Stewart first took on the role in the year 2000 and continued playing him in several sequels, including a recent appearance in a Marvel Cinematic Universe film. James McAvoy portrayed a younger version of Xavier in X-Men: First Class and subsequent films. While Patrick Stewart is set to reprise his role one final time in Avengers: Doomsday, what happens to the character after that remains unknown.
Laurence Fishburne wanting to play Professor X demonstrates his love for Marvel and enthusiasm about being part of the superhero world. It would be fascinating to see what a new take he could bring to the character, given his experience and style.
