Fun fact: McKellen was asked to play Dumbledore after Richard Harris passed but he declined because he didn't want to be typecast.

Typecast means that after 2 roles he would have only been hired for wizards from now on?

The clue is in the word itself - it’s actually a spell that prevents you from being selected to portray literally anything else for the rest of your career as an actor.
