It is pretty much clear that there's around zero percent chances of watching the actor play the mutant master of magnetism in the upcoming X-Men flick since his schedule looks jam-packed.
X-Men Stories Stand Out Above The Rest!
Here's what the actor said:
"I haven't heard [the rumors], I don't think I am, no, no, they are currently making the film and I'm not in it. I was very happy to be a part of the films but I have other things to be doing. I've just done Mr. Holmes, I just done some filming for a sitcom, a film for BBC TV with Anthony Hopkins, so there are compensations for not getting caught up in blockbusters."
Ian McKellen also claimed in the interview that the stories of movies from the X-Men Universe are "˜superior' to any other movies in the fantasy genre. The reason behind this, he thinks, is that these movies are "˜about something'. He explains:
"I don't think there's much excitement in the wimp who becomes all powerful when he changes his underwear. But X-Men is about what it is to be different, what it is to be a mutant, and society's attitude towards difference and all that. That's an important social thing to discuss."
