SIR IAN LOSES X FACTOR

The 70-year-old actor, who has starred three times as villain Magneto in the lucrative superhero franchise , insists he’s too past it to appear in a forthcoming prequel about the character’s life, even with a bit of make-up.

“I suspect it wouldn’t involve me,” Sir Ian tells Empire magazine.

“I think it would be about the younger Magneto. They can’t have someone whose face is as lined as mine any longer.”
