Ian McKellen says he yelled ‘Mar-a-Lago!’ while shooting ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Magneto destruction scene
Actor Ian McKellen revealed that while filming a destruction scene for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie, he shouted 'Mar-a-Lago!' during the take. The anecdote emerged in recent interviews about the film's production. McKellen's comment appears to reference the Florida residence of former President Donald Trump.
Center outlets report McKellen's statement as a straightforward anecdote from the film's production process, presenting it as a behind-the-scenes detail about his acting choices during filming.
Right-leaning sources frame McKellen's remark as a pointed political statement, emphasizing the actor's apparent intention to reference destroying Trump's property during the scene.
