One prediction market prices this story:

• Patrick Stewart — the market puts it at 12%, with $307 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2029. The outcome is Yes if Patrick Stewart appears in an official Marvel Studios X-Men movie released before January 1, 2029. The outcome is No if he does not appear in such a film by that deadline. Readers often mistake the linked news story about his death as the resolution event, but the market depends solely on future casting announcements.
