Sir Patrick Stewart has strongly indicated that neither he nor Sir Ian McKellen will be appearing in the next contribution to the cinematic X-Men mythos, X-Men Apocalypse.

Speaking on the Larry King show, Stewart explained, “I was learning quite a lot more about it last night and it is going to be looking very much at the earlier lives of all our characters, and so I don’t think we’ll be making an appearance.”

The next X-Men film is due to open in 2016.
