A cursory Google ("who replaced Patrick Stewart as Professor X") shows that James McAvoy portrayed the character from 2011-2019, sharing some overlap with Stewart (2000-2017 and 2022).

Yes, that is the one

Although part of that is he also portrays a young non-bald Xavier, before Xavier loses his hair.
