Ian McKellen is talking about his return “under the helmet” as Magneto in in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Earlier this week Bryan Singer (director of the first two films in the X-Men series) tweeted that McKellen and Patrick Stewart would return to the franchise in the next film.
While promoting The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey McKellen told Huffington Post:
“What a gas! I mean, Patrick Stewart and I have been have just been playing “Waiting for Godot” throughout England and in the West End of London. So, we’ve stayed in touch. We can’t believe it [laughs]. I thought these were Fassbender and McAvoy’s parts, but — no, no — we’re back. We’ll give them a run for their money. I mean, I haven’t read the script, so I don’t know how much we’ve got to do. But, to be back in that world, and for Bryan to be doing it — with all the success he’s had in the meantime — it’s wonderful. Wonderful.”
Fassbender and McAvoy played the young Magneto and Charles Xavier in X-Men: First Class. The new film is based on the classic storyline involving time travel, a team of X-Men from the future trying to influence the past and SENTINELS!
Hugh Jackman will return as Wolverine. I expect we might hear a Storm warninig about talks with Halle Berry soon?
