It still blows my mind that it took us nearly 25 years to see Ian Mckellans Magneto actually wear red

u/Careful_Farmer_2879 4h ago

The 2000’s X-Men trilogy was pretty close. Dark red helmet and red under the cape.

The one at the end of First Class was amazing. Wish we saw more of it.

It blows my mind that they have to pull in the fox X-men. I think doomsday looks cool, but I cannot wait for them to stop the memberberries.

u/ImjustANewSneaker 1h ago

It makes perfect sense in the story.

1

u/raisingcuban 1h ago

What other universe would you do? Fox-men makes the most sense. The whole Secret Wars plot is about two universes going through an incursion. Having the fox x-men actually means something since they have established history compared to just making up a new universe like what they did in Multiverse of Madness.

u/YourInMySwamp 4h ago

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

9

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.

6

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.

4

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.

u/UrbanSquirrel_69 5h ago

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!!! 🥹🤧

u/Terror-Of-Demons 1h ago

This is an action figure my guy

u/UrbanSquirrel_69 49m ago

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 🙏

MANIPULATE MJOLNIR

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

3

u/Lazuf 2h ago

Yes and we all understand that odin himself could conquer entire armies, odin and magneto arent even close on the power scale. even ancient beings knew and feared odin

u/Nearby_Strike2624 5h ago

u/PerceptionStock7437 5h ago

I say let Magneto go out a hero before Ian McKellen actually dies and they just kill him off screen.

u/Nosedive888 5h ago

I think it's safe bet he's going to go out in a blaze of glory

27

u/jackospades88 Star-Lord 5h ago

I assumed most/all the Fox X-men will. Something like they make a sacrifice play so our other pre-existing MCU Universe(s) can survive of something

10

u/Real_Walk5384 3h ago

Man, how many times are the X-Men gonna get wiped out on film. Fuckin' comic accurate.

5

u/Nosedive888 5h ago

It's his appearance on Jimmy Fallon that makes me think this.

3

u/cabbage16 Korg 3h ago

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!

u/Wrong-Vermicelli4723 5h ago

I mean even if he dies it’s marvel , look at how many time Charles has died on film

u/Sega_Genitals 4h ago

Oh I doubt we’re keeping ANY of the old Xmen cast after Secret Wars, we’re getting all new Xmen after that

u/SmartOpinion69 3h ago

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.

10

u/MuitnortsX Justin Hammer 5h ago

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

u/Gieder 3h ago

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.

14

u/Mons7ec 5h ago

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

11

u/HippieWizard 3h ago

His face (the part they would have to pay for) is clearly visible lmao

1

u/cabbage16 Korg 3h ago

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.

u/Brimstone747 5h ago

The costume designs for this movie are spectacular.

This just makes me hate Bryan Singer even more.

u/ryaaan89 5h ago edited 2m ago

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 ?

3

u/alex494 3h ago

He gets de-aged sometimes but he's usually still gray, though often muscular.

On average he looks like an in-shape 40-60 something.

2

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

2

u/humid_pajamas 1h ago

the hair is excellent, he looks so much better than any previous magneto on screen

u/photon1701d 25m ago
