“The first film, I remember the camera behind me, my hands raised up and as they did that two motorcars, police cars in front of me were raised up by cranes,” Ian said, recalling his time playing Magneto in the X-Men movies to journalist Jake Hamilton. “And when I signaled by dropped my hands, the cars dropped. These were not special effects.”

“Nowadays, I think these will become a little bit easier — though I did destroy New Jersey the other day,” he said.

Immediately after saying that, Ian added, “Oooh, I perhaps shouldn’t have said that.”

Avengers: Doomsday will be released in theaters on December 18, 2026. Watch the latest teaser trailer!
