Iconic actor Ian McKellen revealed he used his "fury for Donald Trump" to intensify his Magneto performance in the upcoming "Avengers: Doomsday." Get the scoop on this surprising acting method!
Legendary actor Sir Ian McKellen, known for his iconic portrayal of Magneto in the X-Men franchise, is set to reprise his role in the highly anticipated "Avengers: Doomsday." During a recent appearance at a film festival in Rome, the 87-year-old actor shared a rather unconventional secret behind his latest performance.
McKellen recounted a moment on set with the Russo Brothers, the film's directors. They instructed him to appear "more furious" during a scene where Magneto was engaged in a destructive act. Initially, McKellen found himself struggling to conjure the intense rage required for the shot.
However, inspiration struck in an unexpected form. "I was having trouble, and then I thought of Donald Trump," McKellen revealed. To unleash the necessary fury, he reportedly shouted "Mar-a-Lago!" This personal trigger immediately brought forth the profound anger the directors were seeking, allowing him to fully embody the powerful mutant villain.
The anecdote offers a fascinating glimpse into an actor's process and McKellen's strong personal feelings towards the former US President. Fans are now even more eager to see how this unique method acting translates onto the big screen in "Avengers: Doomsday."
