“His sonorous voice and singular talent will forever be synonymous with indelible performances in every genre. He explored the human condition in all its poetic complexity and brought hope not only to the far reaches of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but into science fiction’s most iconic final frontier aboard the Starship Enterprise,” the statement read.
The multi-award-winning English actor was best known for his performance as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in the science fiction series “Star Trek,” which he reprised in four films. He also portrayed Professor Charles Xavier in the “X-Men” film series, which he also reprised in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
He will also appear in the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday,” which marks his final film appearance.
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.

Apart from his astonishing appearances in film, he was also known for being a philanthropist and an advocate for several causes.
“His professional accomplishments were humbly matched by his philantrophy and activism on behalf of human rights, survivors of domestic violence, global refugees, veterans’ mental health services, and animal welfare, particularly his cherished foster pitties,” it added.
But beyond that, he was a motor sport enthusiast, a lifelong Huddersfield Football fan, and a proud father who touched the hearts of many people.
“We will forever cherish the peaceful ease and reflection on his face, an enduring reminder of his invincible grace,” it added. “He will be remembered for the dignity, compassion, and humanity he brought to every role.”
Following his death, industry giants, fellow actors, and fans mourned the immeasurable loss of a remarkable talent.
