On the heels of the time-jumping Days of Future Past, it looks like the new X-Men film will indeed stick with only one incarnation/era of the team, as Patrick Stewart says neither he nor Ian McKellen will reprise their roles as Professor X and Magneto, respectively, in X-Men: Apocalypse

When asked about the chance of returning for the Days of Future Past sequel on Larry King Now (via Yahoo! Movies ), Stewart told King, “No. Nor Sir Ian McKellen, either."

Stewart spoke on the timeframe of Professor X and Magento's lives in the 2016 film, noting, "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."With the Days of Future Past team of Bryan Singer and Simon Kinberg back in the director's chair and writing the film, respectively, X-Men: Apocalypse -- which is set in the 1980s -- is slated for a May 27, 2016 release. X2 writers Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris are also re-joining the franchise for this film.
