Magneto Movie May Be Made in 2010!

How can a pequel move FORWARD? By definiton doesn't it move backward?

Enough with Magneto. Does this character really deserve his own movie? I think not.

Well as long as he doesn't DIRECT!!! That's the last thing the X-franchises need after being Ratnered. Oh and this week, i should be able to sketch up who Tyler and I think would be an EXCELLENT Magneto!!! Keep a look out in the fan fic section ;)

excellent news. hurry up will ya

so thats how michael jordan could fly like an eagle. cheating bastard.

Guys did you ever think that Magneto would be a good movie to lead into the X-Men first class prequel by looking at Xavier as well as Magneto's lives and seeing how they came together and how their great battle started and then the first class movies can look at how the first Brotherhood/X-Men battles began. They should do a trilogy with the original X-men (Emma Frost and Storm can replace Iceman and Angel) and show how they came together (Cyclops and Emma rescued from Weapon X, Beast could appear at the end of the Magneto movie recruited by Prof X and then Jean was already recruited in X3). They could go to Africa to fight the Shadow King and in the process meet Storm, then in the sequels, Polaris and Havok come along and the first incarnation of the Brotherhood (Magneto, Toad, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and Unus the Untouchable or Avalanche) and the Hellfire Club are the enemies in no 2 and 3

LOL Teabag!

Isn't that a BallChinian?

;D

CRITIC @ ; )

Magneto is a boring villain! not only has he been used to death in the comic books but as teabag rightly stated we've already had him thrown at us for 3 movies! i mean Magneto's origin is basically him as a kid in a concentration camp, he survives, meets Xavier, they fall out - THE END! not only would it be a boring superhero movie for CBM fans but do you really think this a film that would attract the general movie going public who dont care about Magneto!? I wouldnt care if they had Favreau directing it and it was made by Marvel - it would still be boring!! the fact that its in Fox's hands just guarantess itll be crap!

I agree metel head. Magneto is one of the most defined villains in the Marvel Universe. Who wouldnt want to see Magneto crushing Nazis in the concentration camp when he was younger(that was one of the best scenes in the X-Men Trilogy)? That would be awesome and then move on with how Charles and Magneto's riff began. Showing Magneto in his prime. Besides anyone that say's they dont wanna see it will sure as shit be in line opening night or on that weekend. Offcourse they have to do it right, Magneto stripped Wolverine of his admantium, he stole Rogue for awhile. Ian Mckellen is an awesome actor, but lets see Magneto like he was in the comics

Like I said above guys, they need to change this to an Xavier AND Magneto origin story. I promise it COULD (stressing that word because Fox is in charge of this) be a great movie. If you don't know much about the beginnings of these 2 characters, then let me reassure you, there is some spectacular material here to work with. Characters like Moira McTaggert, Amelia Voight, Sage, Lucifer, Cain Marko, Shadow King, and many others with easter eggs including Mr. Sinister and Amanda Muller, Destiny, High Evolutionary, the beginnings of David Haller... The story surrounding Xavier's beginnings pre-X-Men is a 3 hour movie in itself, and a DAMN good one. I implore all of you X-fans to read up on these stories. Start with the Magneto Testament, a 5 issue mini series, then check anything you can on Project: Black Womb. Xavier's origins are spread through years of books so just ask me ;). Lighten up folks, I think this movie deserves to be made more than any other X-prequel in development right now, including the Deadpool movie. They should all take back burner to this project. The only thing that should trump this project is X4.

Josh, dude, I'm almost insulted by your oversimplification. Magneto's origin is much, much more than that. Trust me.

Leee, I'm part of the Ackles love club lol, and I'm all for this flic. Speaking of Ackles, I'd like to throw another name in the pot for Cap... Aaron Eckhart. Matter of fact, Ackles is now my 2nd choice next to Eckhart

ALL THINGS ASIDE, MAKE AN X 4, X-MEN VS APOCOLYPSE, MR SINISTER, 4 HORSEMEN, ONLY THE STRONGEST SURVIVE, ARCHANGEL...WHAT SUPER GEEK OR NOVICE WOULDNT JIZ IN THEIR PANTS FOR THIS? THAT PLUS GET A GOOD DIRECTOR.

jman,
I'm with you. I think a lot of these anti-Magneto movie fans must be younger fans. When you think X-Men, you think Magneto. Any time I think X-Men the first thing that comes to my head every time is the cover of Uncanny X-Men #1.

And the difference between (as teabag put it) a Green Goblin origin is this:
(1) We already saw his origin in Spider-Man.

(2) There isn't much more to the Green Goblin's story that we didn't seen in the first movie. Yes, he did many things, but there's nothing we didn't see that was crucial to explaining his character.

(3) The Green Goblin is a straight-up villian. Magneto is not. Magneto believes that what he is doing is right, and you could make the argument that it is. The Green Goblin was just a blatant criminal. There is so much to the Magnus character to be explored. There is nothing else to Norman Osborn's character that we haven't seen.

And teabag, horrible analogy about starving kids. The difference is that kids starving is a tragic event. Worst case here, FOX will make YOU spend $11 at the theaters on a movie that you say you don't want to see but will anyway. No one dies in that scenerio, let alone thousands.

teabag for president. If there is a Magneto movie i would hope to see the adamantium stripped from Wolverine or do some older stuff with Acolytes like Exodus and Cortez. A more physically relevant actor as Magnus would do more justice to the feeling of being in the presence of awesome power.

sirprize@ where did you find those shoes i want them

Gunsmith and others, I disagree with rushing in with Apocalypse for X4. Apocalypse is a villain that neds some introduction. I say X4 should be exclusively the Mutant Massacre. That event set up many others, including Apocalypse first group of Horseman being collected. He appeared amidst the massacre and beat Harpoon and Sabertooth down to claim the Morlock, Plague for his Horseman, Pestilence.

Undeadpool, umm, those things you mentioned have nothing to do with Magneto's origin. Try again.

teabag,
I didn't call you a hater. That was another poster. And although my tone could be read as confrontational and insulting, it's actually meant to be positive and enlightening.

TheMyth,
I'm with you. I read your X-trilogy fan fic for X4-X6 a while back and it was pretty good. I, myself, once wrote a huge outline as to how the 3 should go and in my version Sinister was the main enemy in X4 with the X-tinction Agenda being the main plot, and Apocalypse was foreshadowed with a cameo, building to the ultimate battle between Apocalypse and the 4 Horsemen versus the X-Men in X6.

Undeadpool, lol, phew, for a second there, sounded like you thought it was lol. My bad.

lol, guys, Metalhead always sounds like that when he debates. Thats the problem with internet debates, you can't read body language so you interpret things differently than from what the poster meant is all.

Metalhead, I would leave Sinister in the shadows for X4, but he would be featured and fans would know who it was, just like in the books, noone knew for some time that it was Sinister who dispatched the Marauders to commit genocide. Actually, Sinister didn't even appear in the comics for another 2 years I believe. I also think the Massacre story would be a good chance to pull my favorite character of all time into the X-Men movies, Gambit.
