Elizabeth Olsen wants Ian McKellen to be Magneto at MCU: he already answered

Although at first Elizabeth Olsen thought “Doctor Strange” would be a complete failure, the truth is that the film is sweeping the box office.

The Marvel multiplayer is already a reality and that paved the way for almost everything to be possible, until you see Sir Ian McKellen impersonating Magneto in ‘X-Men’ in the MCU movies.

Elizabeth Olsen wants Ian McKellen to be her dad: he tells her

On May 9, 2022, in an interview with Geek Culture, Elizabeth Olsen was asked who her dad’s favorite would be for Wanda Maximoff, Sir Ian McKellen or Michael Fassbender.

We remind you that, according to the comics, Scarlet Witch is the daughter of Magneto, who has been played by both actors in the “X-Men” movies.

After pondering the question for a few seconds, Olsen’s answer was:

A day later, actor Ian McKellen responded to her through a Facebook post in which she stated: “If I had a daughter, I would expect her to be like Elizabeth. It would be a pleasure to be his father. “

Both statements excited Marvel fans, as it could mean they could see Sir Ian McKeller return as a Magneto in an MCU movie, in addition to being next to Elizabeth Olsen in her role as Scarlet Witch.

Possible scripts with Magneto and Wanda in Marvel movies

Wanda and Pietro Maximoff have long been thought to be the children of the mutant Magneto in superhero comics.

In that sense, it would make sense for Ian McKeller to return to his role as the “X-Men” at MCU. But how would she do it next to Elizabeth Olsen as the Scarlet Witch? Here are 3 possible scenarios.

In the Brotherhood of Mutants

In the 1964 comic book series “Uncanny X-Men”, the relationship between the Maximov brothers and Magneto appears for the first time, who saves them from a city where they want to kill them because they believe that Wanda is a witch.

As a kind of reward for rescuing them, Magneto incorporates them into his Brotherhood of Mutants, a group of evil seekers seeking to conquer humanity from the superiority of the Mutants.

Magneto fights the Maximoff brothers

After Wanda and Pietro leave the Brotherhood, Magneto chases them and they end up fighting. Wanda cares above all for Pietro’s human daughter and in the face of such an action Magneto confesses that he would never hurt his granddaughter. This surprises the twins, as it was unknown that the mutant was their father.

This could be related to Wanda’s children, who had already appeared in the series “Wandavision”. Let’s remember that what we see in MCU is not exactly the same as in comics, so Magneto could be related to Billy and Tommy.

The “M-Day”

In the 2005 comic book “House of M”, Wanda suffers a nervous breakdown that causes her to lose control of her powers, resulting in the death of several Avengers.

As a result, the Maximoff duo restructure the world in such a way that Magneto is the one who rules the people, who are a minority.

When Magneto discovers that Quicksilver was in charge of giving Wanda the courage to change reality, he kills him even though he is his son.

Wanda gets angry with him, thus restoring the whole world as it was before, only neutralizing almost the entire mutated population, in what is known as ‘M-day’.
