Talking to Oregon Live, Stewart confirmed that he would not be appearing in X-Men Apocalypse “which is almost getting ready to start shooting in Montreal, but that “what I’m very excited about is that we have been talking about a Wolverine movie, which would team Hugh Jackman and myself together. Wolverine and Professor Xavier. That would be a very different sort of X-Men from the four movies that I’ve already done.”

Contrary to earlier reports, Stewart did note that Sir Ian McKellen would “certainly” be back in X-Men Apocalypse.
