Patrick Stewart—Star Trek's Capt. Jean Luc Picard and X-Men's Charles Xavier—will be knighted by Queen Elizabeth II, according to a report in the British Mirror newspaper.
In addition to appearing in films, Stewart has been spending much of the last decade performing on the British stage. He is to be knighted by the Queen on this years New Year's Honours list. (The news isn't official yet; the newspaper bases its report on anonymous sources.)
Palace sources said the Queen is a huge fan of the 69-year-old, who played Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
If he is knighted, Stewart will join fellow X-Men star Ian McKellen.
