Comments agreed with the post, stating that Marvel should indeed pay a tribute to the actor. It should be noted that Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen played a key role in changing the perception of comic book movies.The 2000 X-Men movie played a key role in kicking off the golden age of comic book movies:"X-Men" New York City Premiere - Source: GettyWhile 1998's Blade was the first time a Marvel comic book adaptation was well received by fans and critics alike, that movie downplayed its source material's influence. X-Men was the project that proved that Marvel Comics characters have a future on the big screen. Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige even started off his career in that movie as an associate producer.Reflecting upon his time on the X-Men set, Feige said this in his tribute:“I’ll never forget the first time I saw Sir Patrick Stewart on the set of the first X-Men. After years of knowing him as the inimitable Captain Picard, I was in awe — and he turned out to be everything I had seen on screen and more: brilliant, charming, warm, generous, with a quiet strength and gravitas.”He continued:“Away from the cameras, he was even more remarkable, with a wonderfully sharp sense of humor. It was a true privilege to know him and to work with him. His legacy lives on not only in decades of extraordinary work, but in the many, many people he mentored. He will be deeply missed.”Therefore, despite the controversies associated with director Bryan Singer, the X-Men film franchise's importance to the overall superhero genre on the big screen can't be denied. Considering that Avengers: Doomsday is bringing back Marvel icons, it isn't surprising that Marvel brought back Stewart and others for the movie.Sir Ian McKellen also paid a tribute to his late friend: View this post on Instagram Instagram PostSir Patrick Stewart's Avengers: Doomsday co-star Sir Ian McKellen also posted a touching tribute to the late actor on his social media.

The Gandalf and Magneto actor's exact words were:"My first strong memory was a few years later, meeting him in the street in central London when he told me about an offer to take over a leading part in 'Star Trek'. “But Patrick think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk—getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?”McKellen's caption continued:"Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did for not just his devoted Trekkies but film and theatre audiences, who marvelled at his using international celebrity to star in a string of cinema successes ('X-Men' of course) and in great classical plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett at Stratford-upon-Avon, in London’s West End and on Broadway."Sir Ian McKellen's touching tribute ultimately ended with the confirmation that Avengers: Doomsday will be Sir Patrick's last performance.We at Soap Central would like to express our condolences to Sir Patrick Stewart's family.
