It was rumored first that Fassbender had his pick of super hero movie roles, after being sought after by both Mathew Vaughn and Marc Webb for Magneto in First Class and the as yet unrevealed villain in Webb's Spider-Man reboot. Speculation led to confirmation that he was indeed in talks with Fox for the role of Magneto, and now Showbiz411 reports..
I told you some time ago — exclusively–that Michael Fassbender, hot as a pistol, had to choose between roles in the new “X Men” and “Spider Man.” I am told he has made his choice, and will appear in “X Men: First Class.”
I should point out that although Showbiz411 broke the news that the talks were underway, it was Bleeding Cool that first reported the rumor that Fassbender was being sought after for the villainous roles. Anyway, most people figure this was a done deal anyway, this is just confirmation..almost! Fassbender(allegedly:) joins James McAvoy(Charles Xavier) and Benjamin Walker(Beast) in Matthew Vaughn’s upcoming look back at the early years of The Uncanny X-Men. Apparently Vaughn is looking to fast track this for a release early next year so expect more casting details very soon. We already have a couple of lovely ladies in Amber Heard and Rosamund Pike rumored to be up for the roles of Mystique and Moria McTaggert.
