More speculation:Shifting back to the original speculation. It looks like it could be Maria Rambeau as Captain Marvel
Sam Rami to direct Dr Strange 2

- Start date
And they should have him standing beside himself in a Green Lantern costume as well for that scene.
Obviously he's playing Jean-Luc Picard.
Yes.
I'm sorry, but I've been tricked by trailers and things like this to many times to just assume it's him until we get a clear shot of him where there is absolutely no possible way it could be someone else, or we get a direct quote from a person we know is involved in the movie saying that is who he is playing.
I never trust stuff we see in trailers, unless there is absolutely no possible way it could ever be anything other than what we think we see, and \since we didn't actually see his wheelchair or hear someone call him Charles or Xavier this is not enough for me.
I wonder if that part in the trailer with the jungle-scape and dinosaurs could be the Savage Land and in the MCU instead of it being like a physical spot in Antarctica, it actually exist in some type of pocket dimension possibly with an 'access point' in Antarctica to be shown in the future.
Yeah, I saw this casually pointed out in a trailer breakdown article somewhere but didn't provide any visual evidence. Thank yo for the screengrab.Saw this pointed out somewhere else, look at the portal they're falling into, it's a cartoon/comic
Fascinating, as they say.
@JD is right; assumptions do not equal confirmation.
Just because everyone is convinced that there's no way that Patrick Stewart could be in a comic book movie involving the Multiverse and not be playing the same character he has already played in other comic book movies in the past does not mean that they're right.

I had a feeling they would get weird and do an animated portion while Strange passes multiverses
This is an epic, four quadrant blockbuster spectacle. The plot is, for the most part, already pretty obvious. And it follows directly from NWH (which did exactly the same sort of cameos and played all of them 100% straight, with no surprise recastings) and is so heavily tied into that movie that they actually put a MOM trailer on that film instead of a post credits scene. This isn't Wandavision. It isn't supposed to be experimental and the general population is not going to buy tickets in that frame of mind, so if they start pulling super weird stuff like hiring Stewart to play John Smith instead of Xavier, it will not be appreciated.
They have no good reason whatsoever to gotcha people by clearly implying the movie has Xavier in it if it doesn't. That would only hurt the film. And given the fact that we saw his bald head *glide* into frame like someone in a wheelchair, not someone walking, the venn diagram between 'multiverse character', 'played by Patrick Stewart', 'bald' and 'in a wheelchair' is pretty damn obvious.
To the point that even people claiming it maybe isn't Xavier agree it's clearly implying that it is Xavier. But somehow we're expected to believe that's just deliberately lying to the audience. Why? What possible reason would there be to not only keep Stewart's character a secret but also actively pretend he's actually Xavier?

Exactly all of that. Well said, Grendelsbayne.
Should we move to the next phase of fan boy lunacy? Badgering Patrick Stewart in interviews about whether or not he’s in the Doctor Strange sequel?
He'll be doing the PR rounds for Picard S2 soon...
The trailer didn't * clearly * imply anything.
What? Did you have your eyes closed and ears plugged going: "lalalalalalala! I can't hear Patrick Sterwart's voice!...."
The trailer CLEARLY implied Patrick Stewart was in the film as a version of Charles Xavier. <--- That's the ENTIRE reason the line and the shot were in the thing. It's PART of hyping said film to increase fan and overall audience interest. You really want to die on the "No, I don't see that it implied anything..." hill here?
Because empirically, the evidence does NOT support your view at all.

Just throwing another idea out there. Maybe it's a group of very powerful beings who take on the form of people throughout the multiverse?
Sort of a "We have no form you could comprehend so we took the form of people from different universes"

Regardless of the "In Universe" mechanics, in the end, it's still Sir Patrick Stewart playing a version of his Professor Xavier character from the FOX X-Men film series.
People are missing the obvious. We can all agree it's Patrick Stewart speaking right? It's not Prof X, it's not Bohner's Dad. It's obviously meant to be PATRICK STEWART.
Patrick Stewart explains to Dr. Strange the MCU is a fictional movie universe and then Deadpool shows up and says "That's what I've been saying for years"

Don't bother with them.
I missed that, I wonder if we'll get a whole animated sequence, or if it will just be a little background thing?Saw this pointed out somewhere else, look at the portal they're falling into, it's a cartoon/comic
Just because it's a Marvel movie doesn't automatically mean he is Xavier, we've had plenty of people play different characters in different Marvel movies, just look at Chris Evans.
But there really is nothing in the trailer that is unique to Xavier, Patrick Stewart has played tons of other characters, he's bald for the vast majority, and we didn't actually see a wheelchair.
But they never actively pretended he was Xavier, all they did was show the back of Patrick Stewart's head while he delivered one short line of dialogue, it's not their fault if people jump to that assumption.
Like I said before, they constantly put stuff in the trailers that isn't what it looks like, and in the case of movies like Infinity War, they have actually changed the footage in the trailer. So I don't trust that everything we see in the trailers is what it looks like
This is pointless, there is absolutely no way I am going to be convince he couldn't be playing someone other than Xavier until I see footage from the movie where there is absolutely no possible way it could be anyone else, or we get official confirmation from someone involved in the movie.
