McKellen Fires Back After Olsen Names Him Magneto

Wanda’s Dad-Choice Drama & the Legendary Ian McKellen Twist

Elizabeth Olsen, the brilliant actress behind Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, found herself in the spotlight when Geek Culture asked her who she’d pick to portray her dad. A golden moment, because the only contenders were the comic‑book villain Magneto’s two film incarnations: Sir Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender.

Olsen, a bit surprised by the question, paused, then burst out, “I’m gonna go with Sir Ian McKellen. I had the biggest crush on him!” Her casual wink got the internet buzzing.

Ian’s Sweet Response on Facebook

Not one to beat the rush, Ian took to his official Facebook page 30 minutes later, writing: “If I had a daughter, I’d hope she’d be like Elizabeth. A treat to be her Daddy!” The post has quickly amassed nearly 6,000 likes and over 240 comments, with fans cheering both Olsen’s pick and the legendary actor’s playful reply.

  • Who’s the puzzle? Magneto, the feared X‑Men villain
  • Films: 4 X‑Men movies starring Ian McKellen
  • Comics: Wanda’s complicated lineage
  • Fan Reaction: Uplift, humor, and wholehearted support

What Might Come Next?

While there are no official plans for a Marvel Cinematic Universe reunion straight from the comic page, the multiverse vibes suggest anything could swing into the storyline. Imagine a crossover where Cosmo the spaceman meets the old Wiretap wormhole—just kidding, but the anticipation is real!

Stay tuned for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness to see Wanda in full blaze, offering a dose of heart, power, and that unmistakable uptempo charm that only Olsen brings. The movie promises the reunion to be electrifying, if not downright thrilling.
