"Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart will reprise their roles in Samuel Beckett&amp;#039;s Waiting for Godot on Broadway. Producers confirmed on Thursday (January 24) that the X-Men actors will be directed by Sean Mathias when the production - which premiered in London four years ago - opens later in 2013.  Stewart and McKellen will also star opposite each other in Harold Pinter&amp;#039;s No Man&amp;#039;s Land this autumn. Further details, including the theatre, supporting actors and show dates, will be confirmed later this year. McKellen is quoted as telling The AP: &amp;quot;My main feeling is it&amp;#039;s lovely to be back with friends, and it will be lovely to be back in New York. But I&amp;#039;ve got an awful lot to do in the meantime.&amp;quot;  Stewart, meanwhile, insisted that his co-star should get top billing, saying: &amp;quot;For me there&amp;#039;s no question. Ian was a star actor while I was still working in regional theatre.  &amp;quot;To be absolutely frank, I was in awe of him and his work long before I knew him.&amp;quot;  Mathias added of their approach to the plays: &amp;quot;What we tried to do [during the 2009 London run of Waiting for Godot], with so much effort, was make it real. Make them human beings, compassionate, funny, flawed and vulnerable and cocky - all the things human beings are.  &amp;quot;We never wanted to make it esoteric. I&amp;#039;m sure this is how we will approach the Pinter as well.&amp;quot;  McKellen and Stewart were recently confirmed to be reuniting for new X-Men movie Days of Future Past.
