The trailer for McKellen: Playing The Part

McKellen: Playing The Part, a new documentary focused on the life of beloved actor Sir Ian McKellen, covers dense topics like acting, activism, and aging. And the nearly 80-year-old McKellen seems to have thoughtful perspectives on all of it, drawing upon his dedication to live theater, his groundbreaking advocacy work for LGBTQA rights in the UK, and his now generation-spanning appeal.

With so much to work with, the film manages to stay interesting even when it’s not perfect. Things go chronologically, and McKellen’s pre-university days feel slow compared to his later life. Director Joe Stephenson also made the unorthodox decision to rely solely on an extended McKellen interview, which delivers great insight but occasionally leaves audiences wanting a broader perspective on important moments (like the actor’s high-profile opposition to a 1988 anti-LGBTQA UK policy proposal called Section 28 or his embrace of big US blockbuster film franchises).

Still, for fans of those blockbuster roles in particular, the final third alone likely justifies a trip to the theater (or an eventual VOD rental). That’s when McKellen finally offers direct insight on X-Men’s Magneto and Lord of the Rings’ Gandalf. And by this point in the documentary, it’s clear each role felt like a logical extension of specific experiences in the actor’s life.

It seems that there’s only one Gandalf to rule them all when it comes to Middle Earth on screen.

The 78-year-old star originally played the wizard in the Lord of the Rings film trilogy, before returning a decade later to star as a younger version of him in The Hobbit films.

At the time he joked how if he didn’t return for the prequels someone like John Hurt would be cast instead.

But now with the announcement of , it looks like Sir Ian wants the job again.

Appearing on Graham Norton’s BBC Radio 2 show, the host asked the actor: “Amazon [is] doing a TV series of Lord of the Rings. 

“Now, isn’t that annoying, that there’s going to be another Gandalf in town?” 

Sir Ian replied: “What do you mean, another Gandalf? I haven’t said yes because I haven’t been asked.

“But are you suggesting that someone else is going to play it? Gandalf is over 7000 years old, so I’m not too old [yet].”

The Lord of the Rings TV show is said to be a prequel/spin-off of The Fellowship of the Ring.

There’s over half a century gap between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, so Gandalf had to be up to something.

Stewie Griffin is making an appointment with Sir Ian McKellen.

The Academy Award-nominated actor, who most recently starred on the ITV comedy Vicious, is set to guest-star in an upcoming episode of Family Guy, EW.com reports.

McKellen will lend his voice to the character of Dr. Pritchfield, a child psychologist appointed to Stewie after the youngest member of the Griffin family acts up in school. Whether or not Pritchfield is able to make progress with Stewie is anyone’s guess, but they’ll surely have plenty to discuss — not limited to his well-known desire to kill Lois and take over the world.

The episode, penned by Vicious scribe Gary Janetti, is set to air in Spring 2018. Meanwhile, Family Guy kicks off its 15th season on Sunday, Oct. 1 at 9/8c on Fox.

Sir Ian McKellen is known for playing one of the greatest wizards in cinematic history as Gandalf in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy. (What’s that? What Hobbit trilogy? Nice try – we both know that never happened. Good joke!) But the actor almost had the chance to play another beloved on-screen conjurer: Harry Potter’s Albus Dumbledore. It turns out the reason McKellen rejected the part was because of some beef he had with the original Dumbledore. Hit the jump to find out why Ian McKellen turned down Harry Potter.

Richard Harris Dumbledore

We don’t often hear about classically trained European actors having a beef with each other, but apparently, that was the case between McKellen and Richard Harris, the man who played Dumbledore in the first two Potter films before he died in 2002.

On a recent episode of BBC’s HARDtalk, McKellen was reminded how Harris had once quipped that McKellen and fellow actors Derek Jacobi and Kenneth Branagh were all “technically brilliant, but passionless.” McKellen scoffed at the insult. “Nonsense,” he replied with a smile. But the former Gandalf wasn’t content to leave it at that: he got his own little dig in there as well. Gearing up to tell his anecdote, McKellen mentioned how Harris played Dumbledore, but with a twinkle in his eye, he said, “I played the real wizard.” His story continued:

“When they called me up and said would I be interested in being in the Harry Potter films [following Harris’s death], they didn’t say in what part. I worked out what they were thinking, and I couldn’t. I couldn’t take over the part from an actor who I’d known didn’t approve of me.”

When the program’s host asked if that meant McKellen could have played Dumbledore, and the actor responded:

“Sometimes, when I see the posters of Mike Gambon, the actor who gloriously plays Dumbledore, I think sometimes it is me.”

He definitely has a point there. Take a look at this photo comparing the two of them:

Ian McKellen, Michael Gambon

The idea that McKellen is a “passionless” actor is patently ridiculous. He was able to bring real weight and gravitas to even his most mainstream franchise roles, including Gandalf and Magneto in the X-Men franchise. These are the kinds of roles where the costuming could conceivably do most of the work for an actor, but McKellen attacked those parts with the same level of passion as any other in his career and resulted in creating the preeminent versions of those characters for fans.

As for the Harry Potter franchise, I’m actually (whispers) not a fan of any of those movies, so I think McKellen made the correct call by avoiding that franchise. Feel free to tell me why I’m wrong in the comments below.

They are one of the greatest double acts ever on stage and screen – and also in real life.

So, whilst we are thrilled to see Stewart back as the mutant mind-bender, we are equally sad not to see his partner in crime.

Logan wraps up the story of Wolverine with Hugh Jackman in thrilling style and Stewart has been talking about the evolution of his role – but also let slip how very unhappy McKellen was that he wasn’t included in this one.

The two actors recently appeared together on stage in London in the play No Man’s Land. They are frequently seen together at parties and even enjoy raising eyebrows by sharing a kiss on the red carpet.

Their personal friendship is as famous as the on-screen X-Men rivalry between Professor X and Magneto and they recently raised the roof at the Evening Standar Awards when Sir Ian came on stage in a huge pantomime frock.

No wonder he was so unhappy at being excluded from Logan. 

Stewart told ScreenRant:” Ian and I just finished six months on stage together and I think he was quietly quite cross that he was left out of this film (Logan). And I missed him too.”

The actor has been keeping us guessing whether he would ever return to the role after Logan, but gave fans new hope when he added: “In a franchise like this I don’t think, despite the fact that Hugh [Jackman] has said it, you really can never say never again.

“I am open to any future interest there might be in another Charles Xavier.”

Stewart also shared his enjoyment of the way that his interpretation of Professor X keeps evolving to keep up with the ever-changing plots and timelines.

He said: It was an absolute treat. Diversity and contrast have always been very important to me in the work that I do. I’m not interested in repeating the same thing over and over and over again. Being the same kind of person.

“To already have existing a history of a character over five, maybe six movies, and then, to have him blown apart, Charles Xavier as he is in Logan was thrilling for me. A little challenging at times…”

Stewart continued: “We had to – and we did with James Mangold – spend a lot of hours talking about how are these changes visible and evident in Charles Xavier?

“How far can we push him? When does he retreat back inside himself? When, for any brief moments, does he become the Charles Xavier that we have known and hopefully liked over the years?

“All of that was just grist to the mill for me.”
