The career of English actor Ian McKellen (1939) spans genres ranging from Shakespearean and modern theatre to popular fantasy and Science Fiction. He became a stalwart of the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre of Great Britain. He achieved worldwide fame for his film roles, including the titular King in Richard III (1995), James Whale in Gods and Monsters (1998), Magneto in the X-Men films, and Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies. For his work, Mckellen received six Laurence Olivier Awards, a Tony Award, a Golden Globe Award, five Primetime Emmy Awards, four BAFTAs, and many other awards. He has been openly gay since 1988, and continues to be a champion for the LGBT movement.
Ian Murray McKellen was born in 1939 in Burnley, Lancashire. He was the son of Margery Lois (née Sutcliffe) and Denis Murray McKellen. He had a sister, Jean, five years his senior. McKellen's father was a civil engineer and lay preacher. His home environment was strongly Christian, but non-orthodox. When he was 12, his mother died of breast cancer; his father died when he was 24. McKellen's acting career started at Bolton Little Theatre, of which he is now the patron. An early fascination with the theatre was encouraged by his parents, who took him on a family outing to Peter Pan at the Opera House in Manchester when he was three. When he was nine, his main Christmas present was a fold-away wood and bakelite Victorian theatre from Pollocks Toy Theatres, with cardboard scenery and wires to push on the cut-outs of Cinderella and of Laurence Olivier's Hamlet. His sister took him to his first Shakespeare play, Twelfth Night, by the amateurs of Wigan's Little Theatre. In 1958, McKellen, at the age of 18, won a scholarship to St Catharine's College, Cambridge, where he read English literature. While at Cambridge, McKellen was a member of the Marlowe Society, where he appeared in 23 plays over the course of 3 years. He already gave performances that have since become legendary such as his Justice Shallow in Henry IV alongside Trevor Nunn and Derek Jacobi in 1959. During this period McKellen was directed by Peter Hall, John Barton and Dadie Rylands, who had a huge impact on McKellen's future career. He made his first professional appearance in 1961 as Roper in A Man for All Seasons. After four years in regional repertory theatres he made his first West End appearance, in A Scent of Flowers. It was a success. In 1965 he was a member of Laurence Olivier's National Theatre Company at the Old Vic. With the Prospect Theatre Company, McKellen made his breakthrough performances of Richard II and Marlowe's Edward II. In the 1970s and 1980s McKellen became a well-known figure in British theatre, performing frequently at the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Royal National Theatre, where he played several leading Shakespearean roles, including the title role in Macbeth, and Iago in Othello, in award-winning productions directed by Trevor Nunn. Both productions were adapted into television films, also directed by Nunn. In 2007 he returned to the Royal Shakespeare Company, in productions of King Lear and The Seagull, both directed by Trevor Nunn. In 2009 he appeared in a very popular revival of Waiting for Godot, directed by Sean Mathias, and playing opposite Patrick Stewart. In late August 2012, he took part in the opening ceremony of the London Paralympics, portraying Prospero from The Tempest. In October 2017, McKellen played King Lear at Chichester Festival Theatre, a role which he said was likely to be his "last big Shakespearean part". He performed the play at the Duke of York's Theatre in London's West End during the summer of 2018.
Ian McKellen had taken film roles throughout his career—beginning with his role of George Matthews in A Touch of Love (Waris Hussein, 1969) starring Sandy Dennis, and his first leading role was as D. H. Lawrence in Priest of Love (Christopher Miles, 1980). He played war minister John Profumo involved in sa scandalous affair with an exotic dancer in Scandal ( Michael Caton-Jones, 1989). In the 1990s he became more widely recognised after several roles in Hollywood films. In 1993, he had a supporting role as a South African tycoon in the critically acclaimed Six Degrees of Separation (Fred Schepisi, 1993), with Stockard Channing, Donald Sutherland, and Will Smith. In the same year, he appeared in the TV miniseries Tales of the City (Alastair Reid, 1993), based on the novel by his friend Armistead Maupin, and the film Last Action Hero (John McTiernan, 1993), in which he briefly played Death opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger. McKellen also appeared in the TV film And the Band Played On (Roger Spottiswoode, 1993) about the discovery of the AIDS virus for which he was nominated for an Emmy Award. He played the title role in Richard III (Richard Loncraine, 1995) with Annette Bening and Robert Downey Jr., which transported the setting into an alternative 1930s in which England is ruled by fascists. The film which McKellen co-produced and co-wrote, was a critical success. His performance in the title role garnered BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor and won the European Film Award for Best Actor. His screenplay was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. He also appeared in the modestly acclaimed film Apt Pupil (1998), which was directed by Bryan Singer and based on a story by Stephen King. McKellen portrayed a fugitive Nazi officer living under a false name in the US who is befriended by a curious teenager (Brad Renfro) who threatens to expose him unless he tells his story in detail. He was subsequently nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor for his role in Gods and Monsters (Bill Condon, 1998), wherein he played of Frankenstein (1931) director James Whale.
Ian McKellen was cast, again under the direction of Bryan Singer, to play the comic book supervillain Magneto in X-Men (2000) and its sequels X2: X-Men United (2003) and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). He later made a short appearance as an older Magneto in X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014), sharing the role with Michael Fassbender, who played a younger version of the character in X-Men: First Class (2011). While filming the first X-Men film in 1999, McKellen was cast as the wizard Gandalf in Peter Jackson's three-film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002), and The Return of the King (2003) . He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role. He provided the voice of Gandalf for several video game adaptations of the Lord of the Rings films, then reprised the role on screen in Jackson's film adaptation of The Hobbit, which was released in three parts from 2012 to 2014. He also appeared as Sir Leigh Teabing in The Da Vinci Code (Ron Howard, 2006) opposite Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou. McKellen portrayed Sherlock Holmes in Holmes (Bill Condon, 2017), and Cogsworth in the live-action adaptation of Disney's Beauty and the Beast (Bill Condon, 2017), starring Emma Watson. Also in 2017, McKellen appeared in the documentary McKellen: Playing the Part, (Joe Stephenson, 2017), which explores McKellen's life and career as an actor. McKellen's first partner was Brian Taylor, a history teacher from Bolton. Their relationship lasted from 1964 till 1972. In 1978 he met his second partner, actor-director Sean Mathias. This relationship lasted until 1988, and the couple worked later together on the film Bent (Sean Mathias, 1997) as well as in several stage productions. In 1988, McKellen came out to the general public on BBC Radio. The controversial Section 28 of the Local Government Bill was then under consideration in the British Parliament. McKellen became active in fighting the proposed law, and, during a BBC Radio 3 programme where he debated Section 28 with the conservative journalist Peregrine Worsthorne, declared himself gay. Section 28 was, however, enacted and remained on the statute books until 2000 in Scotland and 2003 in England and Wales. McKellen has continued to be very active in LGBT rights efforts. Ian McKellen was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1990 for his efforts in the arts. Ian Mc Kellen stays active for the cameras. He can soon be seen in Bill Condon's The Good Liar (2019) opposite Helen Mirren and as Gus, the theatre cat in Cats (Tom Hooper, 2019).

Lego 76073 Marvel Comics Superheroes Mighty Micros, Wolverine vs Magneto,
Wolverine vs Magneto. Wolverine has a cute little mini jet and Magneto has a magnet car.
Wolverine has his claws and an angry expression on his face. Magneto has a translucent purple disk to represent his magnetic powers. His head is double sided with an angry expression on one side and a dark shadow on the other.
So I've noticed that Magneto has one of the big family in the Marvel universe and I threw together a couple of figs to emulate his main family by blood and marriage.
So from left to right we have:
WIP Speed/Tommy Shepherd the brother of Wiccan, son of Scarlet Witch and Vision making him the Grandson of Magneto
Vision the former husband of Scarlet Witch making him the former son in law of Magneto though he is the father of Speed and Wiccan
Wiccan/Billy Kaplan brother of Speed, son of Scarlet Witch and Vision making him grandson of Magneto. There's a chance he's engaged to fellow Young Avengers team mate Hulkling though it was left unanswered at the end of the Children's Crusade
Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff daughter of Magneto, mother of Wiccan and Speed, formerly married to the Vision, sister of Quicksilver and half sister of Polaris
Magneto/Erik Lehnsherr father of Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver and Polaris, former father in law of the Vision and Crystal and grandfather of Wiccan, Speed and Luna, I hope to get the official figure some time soon
WIP Polaris/Lorna Dane daughter of Magneto, half sister of Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch
Quicksilver/Pietro Maximoff son of Magneto, brother to the Scarlet Witch, half brother of Polaris, uncle of Wiccan and Speed, formerly married to Crystal and father of Luna Maximoff
Crystal/Crystalia Amaquelin former wife of Quicksilver, fromer daughter in law of Magneto and mother of Luna Maximoff
Luna Maximoff daughter of Quicksilver and Crystal, niece of the Scarlet Witch and Polaris and granddaughter of Magneto
I still haven't made Jakob Eisenhartd, Edie Eisenhartd, Red Lucy, Ruth Eisenhartd, Erich Eisenhartd, Magda Lehnsherr, Marya Maximoff, Django Maximoff, Miss Dane, Anya Lehnsherr, Zaladane, alternate earth Nightcrawler/Kurt Wagner and alternate earth Nocture/Talia Josephine Wagner, though most of them are rather minor characters

LEGO Magneto & Thor
LEGO Marvel Series
Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.
Este é o Monumento da Pirâmide. Um lugar calmo, destinado a meditação e renovação das energias do corpo, mente e alma.
--------------------------
This is the Monument of the Pyramid. A quiet place, for meditation and renewal of energy of the body, mind and soul.
Toy Photography 101...Max Eisenhardt, aka "Magneto", the "Master of Magnetism" is a powerful mutant with the ability to generate and control magnetic fields...📱👍😎
Simple portrait shot of Magneto.
Originally I was trying to do one of Gandalf, but I couldn't get him to look 'cool' enough. The Lego bad guys seem easier to photograph (Stormtroopers, Boba Fett, Uruk-Hai... etc). I wanna get some Hobbit Dwarves they look interesting and hopefully do a few decent shots.
But as I was about to pack up when I thought of Magneto (same actor, so essentially the same), I've got all the standard 2012 Super-heroes, so I've been meaning to start on them.
I'm not entirely happy with it, but its OK.... I'm trying to get into the habit of doing a shot a day... problem being most turn out rubbish... admittedly this one is essentially a repeat of the "Out Of The Furnace" set-up.
Miroslaw Magola Interview - Disney Plus Marvel Magneto
Tell us something about yourself?
My name is Miroslaw Magola. I come from Poland and have been living and working as a freelance artist in Munich for a long time. I am interested in philosophy, artificial intelligence, science fiction in film and literature, consciousness research and art. My friends call me Magneto.
Sir David Frost was a British journalist and BBC and ITV Television presenter, best known for his interview with Richard Nixons in the Watergate affair. On February 28th, 1996 I was on an ITV live show in England with him, where he gave me the name Magnetic Man.
Stan Lee, the inventor of numerous superheroes from the Marvel Comics Cosmos, such as Spiderman, the X-Men, Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk, Ant-Man, the Fantastic Four, Black Panther, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch and Black Widow. In Stan Lee’s Superhumans television documentary, he gave me the name Mind Force.
Christophe Dechavanne and Patrice Carmouzeon an TF1 live show La soirée de l'étrange in France gave me name Magnetic.
When and where did you discover your abilities?
I discovered the phenomenon of attracting metal objects by my hands and head while waiting for asylum in Neuburg an der Donau in 1987. I lived alone and had a lot of time to experiment with my consciousness. Describe your experiments with consciousness? I came to realize that a special state of consciousness allows for interaction between the object and me. It is not sleeping, not meditation nor any other known state of consciousness. I can best describe the state as follows: When I enter this state, I am surrounded by light. This is most comparable to the Northern Lights. And I am part of this light, this energy – and I have no body. I see this as the key to the special state of consciousness in which other people can also demonstrate these abilities when they reach this state of light.
Modern neuroscience and psychology speak of neuron and synapse activities. I think that music is also a fantastic way for a lot of people to relax and forget everything around them. Likewise, art moves our imagination. Meditation elevates us to another state of consciousness. But the world I speak of is something else.
Why are your demonstrations interesting?
In my demonstration I show that I attract objects made of different materials like metal, plastic, glass, wood with my hands or my head. I lift these objects vertically off the floor with the palm of my hand and move them vertically, horizontally or in a circle. I also attach them to my head. According to the laws of physical gravitational force, this is not possible and only exists in science fiction imaginations.
Where did you present your skills so far?
In the 90s I held public lectures, workshops and tried to confront many people with these abilities and asked them to imitate them. That’s when I had the idea of presenting my abilities on Television shows or scientific TV programs. It was also my thought to get a scientific explanations of my abilities and to share it around the world. I had the opportunity to be on very popular Television programs in Germany, England, France, Russia and the USA.
Have you convinced the scientists or the doubters of your abilities?
I see that the scientists and the doubters are also trying to imitate the phenomenon. They show pictures on the internet or video clips on YouTube of placing objects on their stomachs, shoulders or backs while in a horizontal position so that gravity holds the object against their body. So the objects are not held by their own attraction, which is the phenomenon that cannot yet be explained. They place the objects on the flat skin like on a table. They are also unable to lift objects off the floor with their heads. They can’t pick up the objects vertically off the ground and, while being attached to their hands, shake them in any direction like I do. It also means that they are unable to reach the state of consciousness I have described.
I tried to thoroughly research my discoveries with scientists and exchanged ideas with professors and doctors in the fields of physics, psychology, genetics, biochemistry and others. Some names and institutions are listed on my website. I have shown my demonstrations to various scientific institutions under strictly controlled conditions. So far, they have not been able to find a plausible explanation for the phenomenon, nor a concept that anybody can imitate it.
How do you see the future for this phenomenon?
If we look at history, we learn that whenever something new is discovered, it is always controversial and has critics and advocates. The internet connects people worldwide. So many people around the world can see my live TV appearances. I am convinced that very soon a new generation will show that with more developed technology and a more developed state of consciousness of humanity such things can be seen as nothing out of the ordinary but as something quite natural.
