(We find out earlier in the movie he lied to her about her father surviving a car crash that Jean caused to protect Jean from her own fatherвЂ™s ill will.) He has confronted his own egotism and seems to have left his post at the school, and Beast has taken over headmaster duties. Meanwhile, Xavier has decamped to Europe. After young Jean Grey (Turner) has sacrificed herself in order to save the other X-Men and the world, we hear in a voiceover that she has not died but evolved beyond humanity. Xavier and Magneto play one final game of chess at the end of Dark Phoenix. We donвЂ™t actually get to see who wins in this game, perhaps because this movie will set up an alternate universe with an uncertain future. вЂњIвЂ™ll go easy on you,вЂќ Magneto replies, signaling that they are forming an uneasy alliance.

вЂњItвЂ™s been awhile since I played,вЂќ Xavier says, again confirming heвЂ™s stepped away from the strategic battle between himself and Magneto and between humans and mutants. Later, after Xavier has agreed to try to help Wolverine, young Magneto (Fassbender) puts down a chessboard between himself and Xavier as they fly on a plane. Wolverine tries to convince him to revive the X-Men and help save the world.

A chess board sits in front of Xavier, untouched, suggesting that he has stepped away from the game, both metaphorically and literally. HeвЂ™s taking drugs and avoiding superhero duties. When Wolverine first approaches young Xavier (McAvoy) in his mansion, Xavier is taking the fact that he now uses a wheelchair and has been abandoned by his friends rather poorly. The plot of this movie is extremely complicated, but suffice it to say that the Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) from the Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart timeline travels back in time to get the help of younger versions of Magneto and Xavier in the Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy timeline to prevent an apocalyptic future in which all the mutants are killed. This sets the stage for future films during which Xavier will demonstrate his understanding of the need for sacrificing some players (including himself in Last Stand) to win the war. As Xavier leaves, Magneto knocks over his king, indicating that Xavier has won. As the board is set up in the initial shots, Xavier has made many sacrifices but is poised to checkmate Magneto. Xavier visits Magneto at the end of the film, and the two play chess with glass pieces. Xavier and the X-Men stop him.Д«y the end of the movie, Magneto has been captured and placed in a plastic prison. When a senator threatens to introduce a law that would require all mutants to register with the government, Magneto tries to retaliate by using a machine to turn world leaders into mutants. Magneto leads a mutant team called the Brotherhood, while Xavier heads up a superhero team called the X-Men. Professor X (Patrick Stewart), who wields mind-reading and mind-control abilities and believes that mutants and humans can live peacefully. Magneto (Ian McKellen), a mutant who can move metal and believes that humans and mutants can never co-exist. In the first X-Men movie, we meet Erik Lehnsherr, a.k.a.
