Having handled the master of magnetism for 26 years now, you’d think that Ian McKellen would know to keep his lips sealed when it comes to upcoming superhero outings. Unfortunately, though the X-Men star and soon-to-be new addition to the MCU in Avengers: Doomsday has spilled some details about Magneto’s part in the eagerly anticipated sequel, and it turns out he might have created a spot of bother for New Jersey.
During an interview on Jake’s Takes, McKellen expressed his love for the character that he’s played five times across the original X-Men franchise. "I didn't realise how popular he was," McKellen confessed. "I thought he was the villain, but no, I think people rather like his attitude. It was fun working with all those younger actors who were so confident about the parts they played in many other movies.”
