Speaking at the British Independent Film Awards in London last night, veteran actor Sir Ian McKellan confirmed he'll return as Magneto if filmmakers make another sequel reports Contact Music.

Sir Ian says, "X-Men and its story is about mutants, about people who feel disaffected with society, and whom society is hard on, appeals most to young blacks, young Jews and young gays.  That's why I did the movie and that's why I intend to do the third movie if it happens."

McKellan continued on, hinting about the spin-off prequel to his character "If my character is in it and if he's my age. They might bring Magneto back but it may be the young Magneto. Who knows?"
