Marvel is going above and beyond to protect the surprises it has packed for fans in its projects. However, there have been instances where actors in the franchise accidentally let out spoilers.
Ian McKellen, who plays Magneto in Avengers: Doomsday, is the latest.
Speaking to Jake’s Takes, the star revealed a scene that could prove pivotal in the upcoming film.
“Although I recently devastated New Jersey,” the actor says, adding, “Oh, maybe I shouldn’t have said that.”
Fans got excited about the accidental spoiler and discussed the villainous mutant’s connections to other Marvel characters based on his comments.
For example, Scarlet Witch, who met her demise in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, is Magneto’s daughter in a Marvel Comics timeline and lives in Westview, New Jersey.
But Wanda is not the only character associated with the city. Kamala Khan, who writes Ms. Marvel, is also from New Jersey and is a mutant.
Avengers: Doomsday debuts in theaters on December 18.
