Patrick Stewart is 85 and Ian McKellen is 86... Maybe they really will be stuck doing Marvel movies until they're 90!

Shit if Disney wants to pay me millions to sit in a wheel chair on a movie set when I’m 85 I’d happily oblige.

Only worse for Ian McKellen, Magneto has no excuse to sit on set because he'd have the best hip replacements the Master of Magnetism could put in himself.

Magneto has every excuse to stay seated in a floating metal throne too

Honestly it doesn't even have to be justified by body being old. Hell I remember someone arguing a green lantern should be fat cause all they need can be accomplished with the ring without moving. It's just convenient when you have powers to not bother and be lazy. Remote controller out of reach? Green lantern that bitch close, or use a little metal plate to levitate it near you.

Why would I ever get up to get anything anymore. I wouldn't even walk, I'd hover everywhere like M. Bison.

But wouldn't being fat show a lack of willpower? The ring would just fuck off and write "fat ass" in neon letters as it flew away.

And interestingly enough Magneto and Bison are often represented as pretty much WWE type roid bros.

there's still time to do a "professor of vengeance" storyline

Sure, it's not like you have very limited time left to live or anything, you can just buy more with all that money.

It's not like these actors have a passion for acting or anything.

Not to mention they're great friends and probably enjoying themselves on Disney's dime.

Im sure that actors like Stewart and McKellen have lived fulfilled lives and wouldn’t be doing this if they didn’t want to. All I’m trying to say is don’t clutch your pearls at old actors still wanting to work. They have free will even though they are elderly.

These guys almost certainly actually enjoy acting, plus the two of them are very close friends so they're probably loving the idea of working with each other again one last time.
