Sir Patrick Stewart, the iconic actor best known for his roles in Star Trek and X-Men films, has died at 86.
Nerds, blerds, and anyone with a pulse are all deeply saddened after Stewart’s official social media accounts shared the sad news of the legendary actor’s passing.
“We announce with great sorrow the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart yesterday at his home in Los Angeles, in the loving care of his beloved wife Sunny, following a brief and poignant journey with Alzheimer’s Disease and Lewy Body Dementia,” the statement begins.
The statement adds that Stewart was “held in the warm embrace of friends and family” and “surrounded by live music, prayer, tears, laughter.”
Avengers: Doomsday & Possibly Secret Wars Could Be The Last Time We See Stewart on The Big Screen
It turns out the last time we will possibly see Stewart on the big screen will be as Professor X in the upcoming Marvel Studios film Avengers: Doomsday, and maybe in the follow-up, Secret Wars.
Marvel Studios has released a statement on Stewart’s passing:
“All of us at Marvel Studios are deeply saddened by the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart. Sir Patrick brought Professor Charles Xavier to life with extraordinary grace, intelligence, and humanity, defining the character for generations of fans, from X-Men to Logan to Avengers: Doomsday.
He was a singular talent, a generous collaborator, and a true gentleman. Our hearts go out to his wife Sunny, his children, his friends, and the countless fans around the world whose lives he touched with his art.“
