X-Men Origins: Magneto

The original X-Men film began with a prologue that showed the character Erik Lehnsherr as a child being led to a concentration camp by Nazis and that is the period in which the Magneto film will take place. The storyline will heavily involve a youthful Professor X, a soldier in the allied force that liberated the concentration camps. The professor meets Magneto after the war and while they bond over the realisation that they are alike in their special powers, their differences soon turn them into enemies.

With word of Singer's return to X-Men, the Hollywood Reporter inquires into the future of other superhero movies in development, most notably Magneto.

Rumors are abound about prospective origin films for a few more X-verse characters pending the box-office haul of Wolverine. One is the possibility of a Magneto origin. Some may agree that doesn't sound very exciting. Adding Xavier's origin would add a great deal of action and interest.

Magneto. Ok...

I think they should completely rethink this movie. Instead , Make it 'X-Men Origins: Xavier and Magneto' or something like that. An all Mag's origin story would suck. instead make it an Origin about 2 of the most powerful, and definitely most influential, mutant leaders. Seems like Shadow King would be a decent early villain for them to end up fighting in the end. I like that they are putting alot of thought into the X-franchise.
