The actor Sean Connery is in his early 90's and is pretty fine himself. While Magneto's actor is only 75 (Sir Ian McKellen), Magneto himself doesn't really have to move much in the movement department, usually he likes to float a lot. Plus the guy is in good shape, so moving around is not an issue for the old mutant's body. Also, to debunk any "Oh, I think that person in this one scene is X", Origins Wolverine had a cameo of Quicksilver in it, but it was a guy who was younger and shorter than the Quicksilver in Days, who is the now elstablished Quicksilver. That or Quick got shorter and aged in reverse, but then again it could be another mutant with white hair and super speed who looks a lot like Quicksilver. That's what they did when they retconned the Emma from Origins to be a different character from the Emma in First Class (or really heard fans justify, since I never heard from any suplement materials from anything movie related that confirms the 2 different characters theory) . And it was stupid. Also Days was mostly set in 73. The majority of Origins was in 81. Sure you can make the ages work, but that still would make Jean, and Scott, really old in Days, and we saw they weren't.
