Magneto Star Ian McKellen Calls Superman A JOKE!
Superman has been ranked as the most popular superhero of all time, but the man who has played the mutant master of magnetism, Magneto, for a decade and a half in X-Men Universe "“ Ian McKellen -doesn't seem to give a damn about it! While talking to UPROXX about his taking up the mutant role in an era where superhero movies weren't doing well, the veteran actor revealed that it was Bryan Singer who managed to convince him to play the role.
And what he further added might shake you up! Here's what he said:
"X-Men was about something. Superman isn't really about anything. It's a joke. The nerd changes his underpants and becomes a Superman. That's James Bond: "Shaken, not stirred," silly, stupid, British twit"¦ and then, Action Man! But X-Men is about the problems of being a mutant. And we've all felt we're mutants on occasion. So, that was the hook for me. And don't forget, I didn't have to sign to do anymore than one; I'm just doing a movie."
Well, well, well. Do the Superman and James Bond fans have an answer to this old guys's cynical remark? Apparently it seems impossible to me to convince him that Superman and James Bond are also about something!
