Patrick Stewart on "X-Men" and "Star Trek" Films

Patrick Stewart appeared at a convention in Atlanta on Saturday and answered some questions about his future in the "X-Men" and "Star Trek" film franchises.

Stewart recently did a cameo as a younger Professor Charles Xavier in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and is looking forward to appearing in other "X-Men" spin-offs. He said that he just co-starred in a production of "Waiting for Godot" with Ian McKellen and the two agreed that they would like to continue exploring the relationship between Xavier and Magneto.

Regarding "Star Trek," Stewart said that JJ Abrams' film was "terrific," but didn't see a future for Jean-Luc Picard in the franchise. He did, however, say that he would consider doing a cameo in the sequel.

Answering other questions, Stewart said that when he started work on "Star Trek: The Next Generation," the show's uniforms were so horribly uncomfortable that he had to ask his doctor to contact the production office demanding that they be changed.

When the conversation turned to Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner, Stewart talked about how much he respected Nimoy. As for Shatner, he paused and said: "He's a piece of work, isn't he?"
