Is Magneto the real hero of Avengers: Doomsday? A rumor suggests that Sir Ian McKellen will stun fans when he makes his return as the Master of Magnetism.
One of the biggest questions going into Avengers: Doomsday is what role Magneto will play in the film. Sir Ian McKellen has been confirmed to return as the iconic villain. And, given how influential the character has been in almost every comic run he’s appeared in, fans have been hoping he plays a larger role than just having a cameo.
Luckily, the rumor mill is here to give fans some hope. A recent report from DanielRPK suggests that Sir Ian McKellen will make a major splash as Magneto when he does make his return as Avengers: Doomsday. In fact, the scooper describes the beloved villain as being the “MVP” of the upcoming Multiverse Saga finale.
“I hear Magneto is the MVP of Avengers: Doomsday.”
Magneto’s Role In Avengers: Doomsday
While hearing that Sir Ian McKellen will be the MVP of Avengers: Doomsday is a delight, the rumor doesn’t actually reveal much about what role the character will play in the film. However, it may reveal more than fans think, as being the “MVP” implies that Magneto will have at least one amazing moment in such a packed story.
If one had to make a guess as to what the “MVP” moment the rumor is referring to is, it’s likely that Sir Ian McKellen will have some sort of grand speech about the role of power in building a better world. Going too far in the name of progress is sort of Magneto’s whole shtick, so it wouldn’t be shocking for that theme to continue in Avengers: Doomsday.
Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters in December 2026. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
