Marvel Studios‘ search for the next MCU Professor X may have taken an unexpected turn. Speaking with John Rocha, Sneider addressed the rumors surrounding the cast of Charles Xavier linking to It actor Bill Skarsgård and Ozark actor Tom Pelphrey. He noted Marvel has already locked in the cast for Professor X, but the actor is neither Skarsgård nor Pelphrey. Meanwhile, Pelphrey, known for his dramatic roles, seemed like a potential player for the kind of role Professor X requires. Some fans have claimed Marvel could bring back James McAvoy as Professor X alongside Michael Fassbender as Magneto.
