Ian McKellen Too Old For X-Men
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: 20th Century Fox, Action, Adaptation, Period, Science Fiction, Casting, Celeb News, Filmmaking, Rumors, Scripts
Sir Ian McKellen thinks that he’s too old to star in another X-Men film.
The Hollywood veteran, who has played mutant villain Magneto in three of the comic book movies, says it is unlikely he will reprise the role for a spin-off film about the character because of his wrinkles.
“There’s meant to be a Magneto script floating around, but I’ve not read it, so I suspect it wouldn’t involve me—I think it would be about the younger Magneto, and the most I could hope for would be to top and tail that. They can’t have someone whose face is as lined as mine any longer!”
However, the 70-year-old actor was impressed by his 69-year-old friend Patrick Stewart’s appearance in X-Men Origins: Wolverine earlier this year: “He was very pleased with himself that he was going in to be in Wolverine. It was only an hour’s work! We were working on Waiting For Godot at the time!”
