McKellen wants to do X-Men 3


Sir Ian McKellen says he wants to do a third X-Men film.

"X-Men and its story is about mutants, about people who feel disaffected with society, and whom society is hard on, appeals most to young blacks, young Jews and young gays.

"
That's why I did the movie and that's why I intend to do the third movie," he said at the British Independent Film Awards.

Speaking to Teletext after the ceremony, Sir Ian confirmed he would return to the X-Men series "
if it happens."

"
If my character is in it and if he's my age. They might bring Magento back but it may be the young Magento. Who knows?"
