Everyone's favourite besties - Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen - won't reprise their mutant roles in the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse.
Stewart confirmed the news in an interview with Larry King, according to Yahoo! Movies.
"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," Stewart said.
"And so I don't think we'll be making an appearance."
