Excitement continues to build for Avengers: Doomsday and the possible debut of the X-Men in the Marvel universe. Yet, a new rumor has brought mixed emotions for fans, especially those who admire Patrick Stewart.
The renowned actor is reportedly among the many returning stars in the upcoming Marvel blockbuster. However, some sources suggest that this may mark his final on-screen role. For longtime Star Trek fans who cherished his portrayal of Jean-Luc Picard in The Next Generation, Picard, and the associated films, this speculation feels bittersweet.
“It will be Patrick Stewart’s final acting performance.”
The claim originated from YouTuber and alleged Marvel insider Kristian Harloff during a conversation with John Rocha. While discussing a leaked trailer and potential multiple trailer versions for Avengers: Doomsday, Harloff hinted that Stewart might be retiring from acting.
Neither Patrick Stewart’s representatives nor Marvel Studios have confirmed the rumor. Still, the idea that the 85-year-old actor—who has had a remarkable career spanning decades—might finally be stepping away from the spotlight seems plausible.
As a devoted fan, the thought of no more adventures with Jean-Luc Picard leaves a sense of sadness. Many hoped there would be future appearances or spin-offs, but now that wish seems uncertain.
Rumors suggest Avengers: Doomsday could be Patrick Stewart’s last performance, leaving many Star Trek fans emotional about the possible farewell of Jean-Luc Picard.
