Patrick Stewart, renowned actor known for his role as Charles Xavier, has recently discussed his experiences while filming scenes for the highly anticipated film "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness." In an interview with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Stewart shared his thoughts on shooting his scenes and shed light on the challenges faced during production.

Stewart revealed that he was alone while filming his scenes in the movie, including the pivotal moment when the Illuminati is taken down by Wanda Maximoff, also known as Scarlet Witch. "I think that the big scene, each one of the leading actors had the same experience. They were shot on their own," confirmed Stewart. This solitary approach left the actor feeling frustrated and disappointed, describing the overall experience as challenging in recent years.

"Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," the upcoming Marvel Studios film directed by Sam Raimi, promises to dive into unexplored territories within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The synopsis teases a mind-bending adventure as Doctor Strange, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, navigates dangerous alternate realities of the Multiverse alongside mystical allies, both old and new, to confront a mysterious adversary.

Stewart's reprisal of his role as Charles Xavier in the film adds an intriguing twist, as he portrays a version of the character from a different universe compared to the X-Men movies produced by Fox. When questioned about appearing in "Avengers: Secret Wars," Stewart remained uncertain, stating, "It is a possibility. Hugh Jackman and I looked upon Logan as being our farewell, given that I died in that film. Although, I've been told I actually died several times already."

"Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" features a star-studded cast that includes Chiwetel Ejiofor, Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Wong, Xochitl Gomez, Michael Stühlbarg, and Rachel McAdams.

Fans eager to witness the interconnectedness of the Marvel Universe can currently stream "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" on Disney+. The film's release has sparked curiosity among audiences and promises a surreal and thrilling experience.
