Stewart debuted in X-Men (2000) as Professor X, Founder X-Men. Since then, he has been a massive part of the franchise by portraying a teacher who advocates for the rights of mutants. The powerful character is known for his mind control, psychic and telepathic abilities. Stewart reprized the role in several films, including X2: X-Men United (2003), X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), Wolverine (2013), X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014), Logan (2017) and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022).

Stewart died several times X-Men franchise, but it's always possible to bring him back because Marvel is the Multiverse. Professor X is presumably dead in one universe, but alive in his alternate universes. Also, given Stewart's character's history of coming back from the dead several times, it's not surprising to see him back on the big screen. In fact, some expected his return and were disappointed that it wasn't the last time Deadpool film.
The presence of Professor X Avengers: Secret Wars it makes sense since he and Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) have notable interactions in Marvel Comics. Doctor Doom is expected to join Avengers: Judgment Day and Avengers: Secret Wars. IN Secret Wars Doctor Doom develops near-omnipotent power and his actions affect the Marvel Multiverse, including his relationship with X-Men. The domineering and controlling Doctor Doom has a different approach to dealing with mutants compared to Professor X, which could cause conflict between the two.
