Gandalf vs Magneto; Ian McKellen weighs in on who would win!

Actor Ian McKellen has played played two of the biggest names in sci-fi and fantasy; Gandalf (The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings) and Magneto (X-Men). Both of these characters are strong in their own right and possess powers above mere humans. But what would happen if the two of them met each other in battle? Who would top whom?

The answer is pretty obvious to most fans but Ian McKellen himself has officially weighed in on the subject and given us the definitive answer.

"McKellen was asked whether he was ever tempted to use Magneto's powers to steal orcs' weapons while playing Gandalf during an interview on the Colbert Report.

"No, see, because you know Gandalf is more powerful than Magneto," he said.

When asked if Gandalf would win in a fight, he said: "Yes, every time. The old guy will do it every time. He's seven thousand years old. He knows it all.""

Are any of you surprised by the outcome that the famed wizard would top the king of magnetism?
