LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - If Ian McKellen has his way, he will be reprising his role of Magneto in the third "X-Men" film.
After recently seeing "X2: X-Men United" for the first time -- "much more recently than I should confess" -- he tells Zap2it.com, "I immediately called up Bryan Singer and said, 'What can I do to make sure I'm in the third film. And are you going to direct it?"
Singer replied by saying, "Get me a ticket for the premiere of 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,'" said McKellen on the day of the premiere. "So I'll see him tonight."
