Ian McKellen revealed that he shouted 'Mar-a-Lago' while filming an action scene as Magneto in Avengers: Doomsday. The 87-year-old actor made the comment at a film festival in Rome after directors asked him to appear more furious.
The Russo Brothers directed McKellen to look as if he hated what he was destroying in the scene. He responded by yelling the name of Donald Trump's Florida resort.
McKellen shared the anecdote at the Cinema in Piazza festival. The open-air event featured screenings and public Q&As.
The actor has criticized Trump before. In 2017 he called the president's actions on LGBTQ+ rights appalling and unnecessary.
