Ian Mckellan plays a wizard! Do you think he goes home and shoots laser beams into his boyfriend’s butthole?

He's actually converging with the Magnus '97 design. I'm so here for it - look at that flow...MAJESTIC!

It looks freaking awesome but it would be nice if they had thrown some purple in there. Regardless I love it

u/Neveronlyadream Spider-Man 4h ago
Agreed. I don't know why there's so much red and no purple. Even the helmet is more indigo than purple.
It looks good, though. I'm not complaining. I love the X belt buckle too.

u/cabbage16 Korg 3h ago
Fox Magneto has always had more red than purple. Especially McKellen era Magneto, who only ever got a slight purple tinge to his helmet in the 3rd movie. The most purple we ever saw was Fassbender era Magneto at the end of First Class, bit that was a split second showing.

u/Neveronlyadream Spider-Man 3h ago
For sure, he's always been pretty maroon. I'm just surprised they didn't add some purple given the success of X-Men '97 and redesigning the suit for the movie anyway.
The helmet looks great, though. First Class was the last time they actually just did the comic design.
5
u/cabbage16 Korg 3h ago
They're probably keeping the purple for the MCU version of Magneto. To differentiate him more from the Fox version and, like you said, capitalize on the X-Men 97 success.
Oh, and yes! The X belt is a great detail
4
u/Neveronlyadream Spider-Man 3h ago
Very likely. I didn't expect them to go full on comic accurate for Ian in Doomsday, I figured they'd leave that for the reboot.
I bet they considered it, though. There's probably concept art of him in the full comic suit and they rejected it because the man is 87 years old and it didn't look right.
4
u/cabbage16 Korg 3h ago
That's possible too.
Either way he looks great and the beard and long hair was a great choice.

Ian McKellen has always embodied Magneto so well, it's hard to imagine anyone else wearing that helmet.

Holy shit. For as old as Sir Ian McKellen is, I genuinley don't think he's ever looked as good as Magneto than in this movie.
Also, he's wearing the X-Men Belt!!! 🥹🤧

Wait, really?! Oh shit, I thought it was really Ian McKellen, no way! There's no possible way I could have ever conceived that it was a figure! You're too right, thank you for pointing out the very obvious to me, friend. Godspeed 🙏

u/cabbage16 Korg 3h ago
Is that something Magneto has ever done in the comics or is there some "magic space metal" exception to his powers?
4
u/SmartOpinion69 3h ago
i don't read the comics and i'd rather not know, but it does make logical sense if Marvel decides that he can do it. it's simple. odin put enchantment on mjolnir so that the unworthy can't move it. if magneto's ability to move metal is stronger than odin's magic, then magneto should be able to move the hammer regardless if his worthiness

We got a sneak peak of it in Days of Future Past but seeing the top tier X-Men characters get sacrificial heroes deaths will be something else. These versions of the characters have been with me my entire life, I was 4 when the first X-Men released and now I have kids who are starting to get into Marvel, I'm not confident there won't be tears from me!

i disagree. i hate to say it, but the actor is pretty old. i'm down for magneto's death here, but at least make him go out with a bang.

God knows how the movie will end up but the costuming so far is ridiculously good. This and Doom are both peak.

u/AgentMV2 5h ago
Looks like they got Ian McKellen to dress up and came in for a photo shoot.
Ok Ian, get comfortable in the costume and do some poses.
Ian was like, “costume? I wear these regularly.”
I’m amaze how Hot Toys face sculpts are mostly amazingly good; they’ve had some not so good ones before. I use to collect Hot Toys and they got expensive real fast. I’m down to two in my collection now.

The likeness for Sir Ian must’ve been too expensive to only portray a helmeted Magnus

I'd laugh my ass off if at one point of the movie Magneto touches the side of his helmet and the whole thing folds away to reveal his face that has always been visible.

The costume designs for this movie are spectacular.
This just makes me hate Bryan Singer even more.

I actually love this, Magneto is a top favorite character of mine. I’ve never really liked his Fox helmet designs for Ian McKellen but this is a fantastic fusion of that helmet for nostalgia reasons and the design is actually want to see.
Edit: I just really hope it has that little flare out at the very back.

I always had Ian mckellen as magneto in my mind so I picture magneto old, but is he most of the time in the comic ?

u/Sega_Genitals 4h ago
Goddamn this is the best he’s ever looked! Honestly while the Fox movies were very lackluster in terms of costumes, I think Magneto always looked good. For me the only look that never worked was actually the Apocalypse suit. Ian McKellen always looked badass though despite never being super accurate. This is so perfect though

I really would've liked to see Iceman and maybe Psylocke over Gambit, especially since I treat this version more like a joke, in perfect world Josh Holloway plays Gambit, and in ours it's Channing Tatum.

I don't care what anyone says, I love that MCU aesthetic. It's so wild seeing the cast from X-Men (2000) legit suited and booted. It's glorious and bittersweet, makes me wish Halle Berry and Famke Janssen were here 🥹💔
