"In an interview with YouTuber Jake's Takes , the 86-year-old actor talked about his decades-long career across film, TV, and stage, and while talking about how the original had to pull off some of Magneto's metal-bending destruction more practically, he mentioned that pulling off these types of scenes is much "easier" today thanks to advancements in special effects. He goes on to say he destroys New Jersey in a scene in , before realizing he probably wasn't supposed to say that."
"Funnily enough, this is one of the few concrete pieces of information we have about what's actually happening in , as the movie's many teasers have -mostly shown off character-establishing scenes, rather than moments that give us any clue as to the overarching plot. So even though McKellen has let this detail slip, there's still quite a bit we don't know about what is bringing together dozens of heroes across the Marvel multiverse."
Ian McKellen is reprising Magneto and appears in Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled to premiere in December. He referenced that Magneto destroys New Jersey in a scene, then immediately expressed that he probably should not have revealed that detail. The film's teasers emphasize character-establishing moments rather than plot specifics, leaving the multiverse-gathering motive unclear. Robert Downey Jr. is central as Doctor Doom, yet his precise role remains mysterious. Fans are parsing cryptic teases and forming theories, but speculation is complicated by widespread misinformation and proliferating AI-generated trailer mock-ups.
