Sir Ian McKellen has revealed that he probably won't star in the next X-Men movie.
The 70-year-old actor, who plays Magneto in the films, said that he presumes he's not included in the instalment about his character because he hasn't seen a script.
McKellen told Empire Online: "There's meant to be a Magneto script floating around, but I've not read it, so I suspect it wouldn't involve me."
He continued: "I think it would be about the younger Magneto, and the most I could hope for would be to top and tail that. They can't have someone whose face is as lined as mine any longer!"
When asked about his theatre co-star Patrick Stewart's ageless appearance in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, McKellen said: "Ooh, he was very pleased with himself that he was going in to be in Wolverine. It was only an hour's work! We were working on Waiting For Godot at the time!"
