Kevin Feige pays tribute to Sir Patrick Stewart following his passing at age 86:
“I’ll never forget the first time I saw Sir Patrick Stewart on the set of the first 'X-Men,'" Feige writes in an emotional tribute. "After years of knowing him as the inimitable Captain Picard, I was in awe — and he turned out to be everything I had seen on screen and more: brilliant, charming, warm, generous, with a quiet strength and gravitas. Away from the cameras, he was even more remarkable, with a wonderfully sharp sense of humor. It was a true privilege to know him and to work with him. His legacy lives on not only in decades of extraordinary work, but in the many, many people he mentored. He will be deeply missed.”
