Does Sir Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier hold the record for most number of times an actor has performed the death of the same character across multiple different stories/narratives?

By my count, between 2006 and 2022, Sir Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier was killed off on-screen *at least* three, and *possibly* four times:

1. Vaporized by Jean Grey in *X-men: The Last Stand*.
2. About to vaporized by Sentinels in *X-men: Days of Future Past* just before the timeline resets (and the timeline reset arguably "kills" that version of Xavier anyway).
3. Stabbed to death by X-24 in *Logan*.
4. Neck snapped by Wanda Maximoff in *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness*.

I honestly can't think of another actor who's performed the death of the same character across multiple *different* productions/stories/narratives.

Do you think we're going to see the fifth (and final) death of Stewart's Xavier in *Avengers Doomsday* or *Avengers Secret Wars*?

About to die is different from actually dying so I don't think we should count Days of Future Past.

InevitableWeight3142026-01-07 12:39

I mean technically that was just Charles’ doppelgänger that he mentally inhabited after he died in Last Stand. So he didn’t die at all in DoFP.

Citizen_Kong2026-01-07 14:57

Identical twin. Who also couldn't walk for some reason.

rycology2026-01-07 18:05

Sympathy handicap

No_Physics22102026-01-07 21:22

Considering he can walk when beast suppresses his powers in the movies.

And when savage lands suppressed his powers in the animated movies.

I can conclude his mutant power is to be a paraplegic.

Heisenburgo2026-01-07 15:43

No, it was his plot-convenient identical twin's comatose body. Charles transplanted his consciousness to it when Jean killed him and that's how he survived. His original body died but his mind lived on, and his twin's body was but a shell, completely mindless. So you could say he actually did die twice, first by Jean and then by the Sentinels, having cheated death once by transplanting his mind to the closest genetic match that could host him. Some creepy shit right there

koenr_982026-01-07 14:25

DoFP does not count. He does not get killed. The timeline resets before the beams hit him

lemon_cake_or_death2026-01-07 12:08

If we're including 'the timeline resets' as an individual death then Bill Murray wins for Groundhog Day

Odin0432026-01-07 12:36

Or Tom Cruise in Live Die Repeat

TrustInRoy2026-01-07 12:41

The movie is called "Edge of Tomorrow."

Live Die Repeat was just the tag line.

Eric_T_Meraki2026-01-07 12:44

I thought it was retitled this or maybe it was only in certain markets.

TrustInRoy2026-01-07 12:48

Nope. Just the tag line on posters and other advertising.

Eric_T_Meraki2026-01-07 12:55

According to the wiki looks like for some of the home media releases they flipped the title with edge of tomorrow being the tagline. I think that's where some people may have it mixed up due to that.

Butt__Sexington2026-01-07 13:21

My DVD of the movie just says Live. Die. Repeat

Funmachine2026-01-07 13:41

No, you are wrong. It was explicitly retitled for the initial home and digital release as *Live. Die. Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow*.

However, much like Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark, retitling a movie after it's release doesn't actually change the registered name of the film itself. It will always officially be *Edge of Tomorrow.*

Ghetto_Phenom2026-01-07 12:52

Kind of. It was retitled when it was pushed to home video as “Live. Die. Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow” but for original release it was just edge of tomorrow.

Eric_T_Meraki2026-01-07 12:56

Yeah I was just reading that on the wiki.

indianajoes2026-01-07 14:39

They made the tagline much bigger than the title on certain posters and DVD covers but it still had the same title

zenlume2026-01-07 13:05

That movie slaps, never thought an action movie could do the Groundhog Day respawn schtick and work, but it found a way.

WalkerIsTheBest2026-01-07 15:53

There’s another one about a train and a bombing… Source Code that was also surprisingly good. Maybe not as good as Edge of tomorrow but worth the watch!

FonicsFreak2026-01-07 18:31

Source Code is quite good. Holds up to multiple watches

MooreGold2026-01-07 15:57

It's original concept came from a Japanese Light Novel, "All You Need Is Kill"

thereelsuperman2026-01-07 13:35

Definitely this one. Murray doesn’t die at the end of every Groundhogs Day, only when he tries to end his life, and finds out pretty quickly that doesn’t work

robodrew2026-01-07 17:16

Didn't he mention at one point in the movie that he tried all different kinds of ways of killing himself?

idiotplatypus2026-01-07 14:21

You're forgetting Dr. Strange while on a Marvel Subreddit

Beggatron142026-01-07 14:49

You’re forgetting Loki commenting on a post while on a marvel subreddit

ThaiJohnnyDepp2026-01-07 17:29

Since you mentioned Loki I think Victor Timely died onscreen more

SodaCan20432026-01-08 03:04

Shall we count? I’ll work on strange now

Edit: I got 14 on the first count with Strange vs Dormammu (could be off) and his variant died at the beginning of Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness

LittleBingo962026-01-08 04:34

Was that the variant who was torn apart by Black Bolt, or the one that was impaled on the gate?

blackbutterfree2026-01-08 15:01

They said at the beginning, so it's gotta be the one who Strange later possessed.

Icybubba2026-01-08 18:50

If we don't count onscreen and just how many times the character has canonically died.

Daisy Johnson in AoS died 16 times lol

Ranos1312026-01-07 15:35

We saw more deaths in Groundhog Day than we did in both Dr Strange movies.

toastjam2026-01-07 15:50

On screen, maybe, but Dr Strange wins with implied deaths. The director of Doctor Strange estimated at least 2000 deaths fighting Dormammu.

And presumably he died in at least some percentage of the 14,000,605 possible futures he experienced in Infinity War.

Aarxnw2026-01-07 15:58

What’s cannon here, did he experience those possibilities or just view the results

Also while we’re at it, what an insane ratio for what is essentially one (not) dude vs earth’s mightiest heroes.

ANGLVD3TH2026-01-07 16:12

Very much depends on what "win" means there. I suspect there were plenty of times they killed him on Titan, and his fleet glasses Earth in response. Strange likely didn't count that as a win.

Aarxnw2026-01-07 16:22

I’m definitely not the most knowledgable so hopefully somebody will correct me if I’m wrong but in the film I feel like I saw enough evidence that without Thanos, his fleet would be defeated by the avengers + any backup they receive

Puzzleheaded_Sky73692026-01-07 16:27

He actually experienced the deaths in his own movie against Dormammu but in Infinity War he only looked at them

1eejit2026-01-07 17:02

The Groundhog Day script suggests he spent 10,000 years in the time loop.

Goaliedude39192026-01-08 01:10

Incorrect, that was cut from the script. The director later said it was about 10 years. Based on the various skills he developed in the time loop, people have estimated he would have been in the time loop about 30 years.

Source: https://www.wtaj.com/news/groundhog-day/things-you-might-not-know-about-groundhog-day-the-bill-murray-movie/

robodrew2026-01-07 17:14

The creator of Groundhog Day, Harold Ramis, once speculated that Phil Connors spent around 10,000 years in the loop.

Ranos1312026-01-07 19:13

The question was about an actor performing on screen deaths, not all deaths that probably occurred.

Even if off screen deaths counted, then Groundhog Day still wins because he had thousands more deaths than Dr Strange. Strange viewing the possible outcomes does not mean he actually experienced those deaths.

saffer_zn2026-01-07 16:41

Dr Who had an episode with the similar premise that may beat both. Ended with a sea of his skulls.

Yeah som how his corpse remained behind after each death.

Precursor25522026-01-07 18:25

So he uses his dying body as a generator to power a teleporter that has a saved copy of himself. There is no timeline reset, and he spends billions of years dying and creating a new copy of himself. I think once every two-three weeks or so is how long the cycle lasts.

So dying once every 3 weeks for billions of years. One hell of a bird indeed.

AnOnlineHandle2026-01-08 03:16

I think he dies every few hours actually.

sanddragon9392026-01-07 14:25

I'm not talking about timeline resets in general...I'm talking about this one specific case where Xavier would 100% die if the timeline wasn't reset the very instant he was going to die. So essentially, that version of him had come to the end of the road either way.

Groundhog Day, and other deaths within a time-loop story, are also not what I'm talking about here since those deaths are all within the context of the same story/narrative/production.

Omnibe2026-01-07 22:41

People seem to be deliberately not understanding the question.

Also based on how they are misunderstanding the question the real thing to point out is Picard dies on TNG due to resets and time loop shenanigans at least five times so this wouldn't even be Sir Patrick's most impressive role, but that is not what you meant.

DemoBytom2026-01-07 14:35

12 Doctor in Heaven Sent too. Doctor died and was reborn/cloned over and over for 4.5 billion years, if I remember correctly.

FilthyCasual2k172026-01-07 15:57

Came here to say this. Literally died billions of times in a row.

marciogonsil2026-01-07 16:25

Or if we separate "deaths in different movies" from "deaths on the same movie"

metalkhaos2026-01-07 17:38

Also Andy Samberg in Palm Springs.

EnigmaFrug08172026-01-07 21:29

Or Peter Capaldi as the Doctor in Heaven Sent

Gregoirelechevalier2026-01-07 12:13

Can we count Kenny from South Park's voice actor?

SicTim2026-01-07 18:00

Morty from *Rick and Morty* has probably died near-infinite times, since there are near-infinite Mortys and they often die onscreen.

But he has been voiced by two different actors.

Gregoirelechevalier2026-01-07 18:01

I wonder which actor has died the most across all of the characters they've played. Sean Bean, I'm guessing. It's practically in his contract.

SicTim2026-01-07 18:16

That's a good one! Maybe Christopher Lee or Vincent Price?

They both had *very* long careers, often played villains, and Price died in his last film role in *Edward Scissorhands*.

jubmille20002026-01-07 12:13

Idk about multiple different stories but I think Bountiful Cabbagepatch has him beat when he bargained with Dormammu

Gerry-Mandarin2026-01-07 12:16

Film only? Probably. Otherwise no. Just off the top of my head the TV series Supernatural had the characters being killed as a relatively minor inconvenience. Dean Winchester:

- Died for a moment in S2, was saved before taken to the afterlife

- Killed on a loop by Loki hundreds of times in S3

- Died and went to Hell in S3

- Future Dean is killed by Satan in S5

- Died and went to Heaven in S5

- Died for a moment in S6, was saved before taken to the afterlife

- Died in S9 and became a demon

- Killed for good in the last episode of S15

But there's a bunch more. He dies in about 15 episodes over the course of the series.

grendelsbayne2026-01-07 12:32

If we go beyond film there's probably hundreds if not thousands of actors who've played roles like Hamlet, Romeo, Juliet, etc, over and over and over again on stage.

sanddragon9392026-01-07 14:26

That's not what I'm talking about.

VariousVarieties2026-01-07 13:46

As another example, if we're allowed to count individual TV episodes as different stories and seasons as different productions, then Chris Barrie has played Arnold Rimmer dying numerous times in *Red Dwarf*:

* His original death is seen on screen in "Me²".
* He gets resurrected as a human and dies again in "Timeslides".
* All the characters fade out as they get erased when the timeline resets back to an earlier point at the end of "White Hole".
* We see the whole crew die in a crash in "Back to Reality" (though this turns out to be a hallucination).
* His hologram form gets killed by the crew's future selves in "Out of Time".
* He plays his Ace Rimmer alternate version from a parallel universe, who dies in "Stoke Me a Clipper".
* His resurrected human form dies again at the end of "Only the Good". (Well, he meets the Grim Reaper, but you might not count that as dying because he's last seen kneeing Death in the groin before running away.)
* We see him dying in "Back to Earth" (although that's quickly revealed to be a narrated vision).
* Multiple copies of him get merged into a monster (their multiple heads still voiced by Barrie), which is killed at the end of "Officer Rimmer".

Even though all these examples take place in the same continuity with the same writer, you could technically count the last two as a "different production" because they had switched TV channels (from the BBC to Dave), and the latter gained an additional co-production company.

Other versions of him die in the later Red Dwarf novels Last Human and Backwards. But unfortunately they can't be counted because their audiobook editions weren't read by Chris Barrie like the first two audiobooks had been.

nikhil482026-01-07 21:17

Lol your line at the top reminded me of Pitch Meeting: "Super Easy. Barely an Inconvenience"

Chi_Law2026-01-07 22:21

This brings up an interesting question: does Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier even hold the record for most deaths of the same character+actor *by Patrick Stewart*?

I can think of at least 3 times Picard died, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are more.

iKronos852026-01-07 12:25

Arnold Schwarzenegger's T800 character died across multiple different movies/stories

lemon_cake_or_death2026-01-07 12:29

Four Terminator movies as well as the Universal Studios T2-3D show

sanddragon9392026-01-07 14:29

An Arnie Terminator dies in all six Terminator movies.

T1, T2, T3 for sure. The one in Salvation (who only briefly has CGI'd Arnie face). One of the Arnie Terminators in Genisys (which is meant to be the same as the T1 version). And Dark Fate.

lemon_cake_or_death2026-01-07 14:38

I'm not counting Salvation because the question is specifically about the actor, and Arnie didn't perform the role in that movie

sanddragon9392026-01-07 14:39

Ah okay...fair enough (though I'd argue his likeness being used counts as a "performance" of sorts).

o-055-o2026-01-07 15:14

The T-800 is still Arnie's likeness in it though. For all intents and purposes it is Arnie playing him, especially given how he actually gave his consent for it since he couldn't appear as he was busy being governor of California.

grendelsbayne2026-01-07 12:33

Those are all different T800s.

TrustInRoy2026-01-07 12:40

The Professor X that died in Dr Strange 2 was a different Professor X than the one we came to know in the main X-Men films.

Stevenwave2026-01-07 13:27

Arguably Logan is kind of its own thing too. It's more of an alternate dark ending.

TheNazMajeed2026-01-07 14:03

But that is still Prof X, Charles Xavier in that universe/timeline. But the T-800 is one of hundreds in each timeline.

sanddragon9392026-01-07 14:32

Hmm...yeah it's a tricky one. From a real-world perspective, it's Arnold Schwazenegger playing the Terminator - that's one specific character/portrayal across multiple different productions, even if in-universe they're distinct "individuals".

Then again, they aren't really " distinct individuals" aren't they? They're all inhabited by the same AI system in identical bodies that come off an assembly line (literally!) Sure, they have different experiences and then evolve in different ways, but one could say the same about Charles Xavier in different timelines/universes I suppose.

So I dunno...lot to wrap one's head around here.

sanddragon9392026-01-07 14:27

That's...a good one.

Debateable, but definitely not an example I can dismiss off-hand.

CambodianJerk2026-01-07 12:32

One of the reasons I've struggled to understand and keep up with Xmen. I have no concept of timeline and everything seems inconsequential.

Sylar_Lives2026-01-07 13:55

It’s just a poorly structured series of branch timelines, but it’s much cleaner if you remove Origins entirely.

Timeline A: First Class, X-Men, X2, The Last Stand, The Wolverine, DoFP

Timeline B: First Class, DoFP, Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix, some unclear drastically altered version of X-Men and X2, Deadpool 1 and 2, then Logan.

Timeline C: same as B, but with 616 and Endgame rippling over and causing Deadpool and Wolverine and Doomsday to alter things massively

CambodianJerk2026-01-07 14:17

Yep. That explains why I didn't understand it.

xtr442026-01-07 15:39

if this is simplified version, I'm scared to ask how it looks if you don't remove Origins

navjot942026-01-07 18:33

Origins just contradicts some things from First Class, like Emma Frost’s appearance and Xavier being in a wheel chair. Since Origins takes place before the past timeline in DOFP, it can’t be hand waved away as part of the old timeline, and should technically be part of both timelines.

FamousWerewolf2026-01-07 14:44

The timeline of the X-Men movies is totally incoherent and they've just never cared. Inconsequential is really the word, you do just have to switch your brain off when it comes to the idea of them all being in one continuity.

Responsible-Middle352026-01-07 12:41

Dean Winchester died hundreds of times in a single episode. The Mystery Spot.

Moon_Beans12026-01-07 12:50

Peter Capaldi's Twelfth Doctor died a lot in that one episode.

Primary_Chipmunk_4662026-01-07 12:57

As a Whovian, I couldn't agree more.

Joshawott272026-01-07 12:56

*Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World* has Subaru die *a lot*. The main gimmick of the series is that him dying causes him to be snap back to an earlier point in time, like a video game reloading an old save state. He’s died like 20 times in the two seasons released so far.

elvinjoker2026-01-07 13:17

D0CTOR_Wh0m2026-01-07 13:24

Peter Capaldi in the Doctor Who episode “Heaven Sent”. (“Personally I think that’s a Hell of a Bird”)

jokerrebellion2026-01-07 13:31

Marvel TV has Clark Gregg as Coulson in Agents of Shield, and if you count the Groundhog Day episode then include Chloe Bennet as Daisy Johnson as well.

sanddragon9392026-01-07 14:33

Not counting Groundhog Day-like situations.

Sere12026-01-07 14:59

Coulson's super power was dying

bboy0372026-01-08 00:28

\- Skrull impersonating him dies

\- Stabbed by Loki

>!\- Faked his death (IIRC, been a while since I've seen this part of the show)!<

>!\- Appeared to have died when he teleported to the ghost dimension!<

>!\- LMD replica died in an explosion!<

>!\- Died from a punch from an LMD!<

>!\- Died as a deal with Ghost Rider to remove his alien ressurection blood!<

>!\- Alternate universe / clone / cosmic god avatar (idk what's going on in season 6) was shot at and killed!<

>!\- Same entity (again idk) died at the end of season 6, I never rewatched this season I'm sorry!<

>!\- "Dying's kind of my superpower", dies!<

>!\- LOTS of deaths in the time loop episode "As I Always Have Been" (goat)!<

Because of various plotlines introduced in the show, the line between what does and doesn't count as a Coulson death is pretty blurry, but I'd say there's 4 solid, absolute, inarguable deaths, those being the 2nd, 6th, 7th, and 10th ones listed. Could be more I'm not aware of

Glunark22026-01-07 13:39

Clearly you have never watched Russian Doll.

whitepangolin2026-01-07 13:42

It really bums me out that Patrick Stewart (and Hugh Jackman)'s deaths weren't the end in Logan. I was so moved, so devastated at their final moments. Aggravating how quickly they brought them back lol

indianajoes2026-01-07 14:35

Quickly? One was 5 years later and the other was 7 years later. By that point we'd mourned them and moved on from the Fox X-Men series

TheNazMajeed2026-01-07 14:05

Groundhog Day, Edge of Tomorrow, Dr Strange have all been quoted and are good answers IMO but the OP is asking about someone dying as the same(ish) character across more than one film/show, right?

Juse4k2026-01-07 14:11

If you include what if, I think it’s Josh brolin as thanos.

Belteshazzar982026-01-07 14:16

He doesn't even have the most deaths of the same Marvel character. Even if we don't count time loop deaths, Coulson has him beat to the point he jokes that dying is kinda his superpower.

Blackmore_Vale2026-01-07 14:16

I think the honour goes to the 12th doctor while trapped in the confession dial. He was killed everyday for 2 billion years.

sanddragon9392026-01-07 14:36

Occurs within the context of one story.

FilthyCasual2k172026-01-07 16:01

I mean Doctors whole thing is dying and coming back (sometimes with same faces too)

MissingLink1012026-01-07 14:17

Fun fact: If you watch the Multiverse of Madness death frame by frame she actually rips his face/head in half (her right hand is actually across the front of his jaw). Really brutal.

YankFromTheChi2026-01-07 14:22

Wouldn’t even be the highest record in Marvel films if you count Doctor Strange using a time loop to defeat Dormammu.

Or Thanos if you count What If and MoM, tho those weren’t performances.

SeekerVash2026-01-07 15:25

In addition to the already mentioned characters...Jason from Friday the 13th has died in like a dozen movies and Freddy Krueger died like 10 times.

phluidity2026-01-07 16:23

If Jason had been played by the same actor, he'd probably be it, since there are 11 different Jason movies (plus the original Friday the 13th which he isn't in) but there have been five or six different actors. Pretty sure Kane Hodder is the leader in appearances with four.

Freddy has a bunch, but arguably he is dead the whole time, so I'm not sure if it counts. But at least it is all the same actor.

Jason was in the original *Friday the 13th*, at the very end. However, he didn't die.

I see lots of people in this thread couldn't endure the long, hard slog to the final five words of the title.

Thats a really specific qualifier just to get the answer they came in here looking for. Kenny from south park had more deaths in different stories though

Judging by the upvotes, it's like 99% of people. God damn.

Daniel Jackson from SG-1 might not be at the top of the list, but is absolutely on the list.

Many great answers but I think we also need to include Star Trek's Commander Data.

TNG S5: Dies in 1800s San Franscico when his head is blown off. (gets better in S6E1)..
Nemesis: Dies and body gets blown up real good.
Picard S1: Somehow Data returns... and then dies.
Picard S3: Somehow Data returns as a "real boy (old man)"... and then his consciousness dies to an attack by Lore in the same body, but then somehow Data returns because he turned Lore into himself.

They even lampshade it in Picard S3 after getting the old-man "golem" body onto their ship. I think it is Riker who says "Wait, didn't you die at least twice already?" (paraphrase from memory)

If Daniel Jackson and Phil Coulson are on the list, Data is right there at about the same point on the list.

He's about to get another one. That teaser is foreshadowing it.

Coulsons died a few times

Everone picking characters who died multiple times in one movie or episode not getting the concept.
