It appears that Sir Ian McKellen has a lot of animosity about not being asked to be part of the latest offering from the "X-Men" franchise, in "Logan." The veteran actor berated his long time co-onscreen mutants Hugh Jackman and Sir Patrick Stewart who are both in Wolverine upcoming threequel.

The three actors all came by to visit "The Graham Norton Show" last week where they all reminisced about their experiences in being part of the Fox Marvel Franchise that started last decade. McKellen, Stewart and Jackman took on the iconic roles of Magneto, Professor X and Wolverine respectively in 2000's "X-Men" which eventually became their recurring roles for almost two decades.

However, in "Logan," only Jackman and Stewart, were the only ones to reprise their roles, in what would also be both of the actors' last outing as Xavier and Logan. This seemed to made McKellen bit left out and he did not think twice to call the other two actors on it.

"I sometimes cry myself to sleep. I simply don't know why I'm not in it," the 77-year-old jokingly said and suddenly addressing Jackman asking him to do another one. But before Jackman can respond, McKellen then turned to his long time friend, Stewart and told him: "You can leave this one out - it's time you died."

The conversation obviously earned laughter from the audience after Stewart was dumbfounded with his pal's comments. McKellen, however, was far from done, pointing out that Professor X actually died in one of the "X-Men" films. And while the telepath mutant was really vaporized in 2006's "X-Men: The Last Stand," Jackman explained that only his a certain part of his physical being that was gone.

By the end of the film, it was insinuated that Xavier's mind was planted in someone else's body which made way for his return. Obviously, the event of "X-Men: Days of Future Past" offers a different angle as to why the mutant mentor is still alive during the futuristic setting of "Logan."

Despite not being part of "Logan," McKellen is still very busy with Disney's live-action remake of "Beauty and the Beast." The theater actor plays Cogsworth in the film, which cast is led by Emma Watson and Dan Stevens.
