Ian McKellen On Returning As 'Magneto' In X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

Even if Sir Ian McKellen makes a small cameo, it will still be cool seeing him in X-M:DOFP.

I hope both magnetos have a little scrap!!!!

Two amazing magnetos in one film simply AWESOME!!!

I just want this to start filming so we can see the sentinels!!!!

*If Perhaps

@Sidekick...i agree 100%

OH what Marvel Studios could do with the Xmen franchise! it's SO SO SO depressing thinking that the rights will never revert back to Marvel. Fox will keep making mediocre movies and keep the rights..............

I really hope this turns out good. I like X-men 2 and FC but have always had some issues with the X-franchise.
I hope this sequel can bring the heat!

I commented on another article but can't seem to find it, but I can imagine Fassbender's Magneto killing McKellen's Magneto (who would be a reformed character due to his time as a human, even after regaining his powers), because he sees his older self's reformation as weakness against his new vendetta against humanity, and this event changes him, makes him more determined and less likely to falter in his mission, and thus changes the timeline.

I'm just wondering how they'll explain Magneto's rubbish helmet in X-Men-X3...

I'm looking forward to 20th Century Fox's Marvel Shared Universe. This is an interesting oppurtunity to play up the time travel angle we haven't seen yet. Although the previous films were watered-down Hollywood adaptations they have established the much need background for apocalyptic fate of mankind. X3: The Last Stand will come to great use. Oh man, I appreciate them rebooting the series while acknowledging the previous films.

bring on nightcrawler, it was complete horseshit that he was only in X2. Fox actually did justice to a great character then, POOF! he's gone. (no pun intended)

Death of a franchise...Good bye X-men you will be missed hope your resurrected when ever you go back to Marvel/Disney.

As for Ian...no Faggots Allowed!!!!

Fassbender is awesome but McKellen is a legend.

It's nice to hear such a great actor actually be excited about returning to a CBM.

@SpongeGeekNerdgasmPants yeah, I think the original comment has actually been deleted, I've been trying to track it down for a while and can't find it anywhere. It's a shame, because I had some other ideas like that the plot would be propelled from The Last Stand, where you find out that Jean didn't kill Prof X or Cyclops, but sent them through time, and the X-Men trying to rescue them begins the time travel plot.
Not entirely sure how they're going to cause the 60s X-Men characters to meet the present day X-Men characters, but then I'd imagine older Prof X would be killed off, the idea that young Mags might kill older Mags, and that then the 60s versions of the characters would time travel to the present day permanently in the vein of Marvel Now's idea of bringing the younger versions of the first class to the present day in the comics. Of course, Magneto would also travel to the future with them.

Perhaps Xavier dies in the past, older Magneto brings the 60s X-Men to the present, along with his past self who is pretending to be on their side, only for him to betray them once they get back and kill his older self.

Not my most anticpated movie but Im looking forward to checking it out.

Don't expect this to be faithful to the comics. Reboot the whole thing new cast, writers, directors the lot. The old cast had its chance apart from Stewart no one else was good.

Damn, I don't want to get excited for this one but 2 mags is too awesome to ignore!
