![Patrick-Stewart-Revisits-'Logan'-And-The-Never-Ending-Goodbye-To-Professor-X-[Podcast]](https://theplaylist.net/wp-content/plugins/wp-fastest-cache-premium/pro/images/blank.gif)
Sir Patrick Stewart is still waiting for his invite to the Dolby Theater and we’re (probably) running out of time. The legendary star of stage, little screen and big screen is a spry 77-years-old and while he’s as busy as ever it’s always worth noting that Father Time waits for now one. Stewart, who is a Grammy winner, Golden Globe and Emmy nominee, hasn’t had a lot of opportunities for award season consideration on the big screen over the years but there’s a chance that changes with James Mangold‘s “Logan.”
Stewart reprised the role of Professor X for likely the last time in a Wolverine film that turned out to be more grounded and realistic than any previous 20th Century Fox “X-Men” installment. Both Stewart and star Hugh Jackman delivered some of their finest dramatic work in some time a critics rewarded “Logan” with a 77 Metacritic score which is the highest score any Fox Marvel Mutant film has received. Both actors received a ton of Oscar buzz at the time, but as the season gets into full swing it may be Stewart who has the best shot of all at a nod in the Best Supporting Actor category.
A few months ago Stewart took some time to sit down and chat about his work on the film, saying goodbye to Charles Xavier (maybe) and those rumors of a “Legion” cameo that never seem to die.
