X-Men pair team up on stage

X-MEN stars SIR IAN MCKELLEN and PATRICK STEWART are to team up again - this time on the London stage.

The actors have both signed up to appear in a new adaptation of Samuel Beckett's 1955 play Waiting for Godot.

McKellen and Stewart played arch-adversaries Magneto and Professor X in the hit comic book movie franchise, and first worked together in 1977 in a play for the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Waiting for Godot will open next year (09), touring the U.K. before a run in London.
