Sir Ian McKellen will portray Magneto one more time for the upcoming prequel of the same name.
A scooper for Superherohype! sends in a report in which he says that Sir Ian McKellen is confirmed for the Magneto prequel, and also says that the Silver Surfer will in fact appear in Fantastic Four 2.
I didn’t know if you were interested but I can confirm that Ian McKellen will be playing Magneto in the prequel. I was told this by John Bruno at a screening of X3. The company who worked on X3 to deage them is also going to be doing the Mags prequel. According to John, Ian is really excited.
I was lucky enough to spend nearly 2 hrs alone with him asking all sorts of stuff… by the way Silver Surfer is also in FF2.
We’ll keep you posted on the latest developments with each of these films.
