Hey all i dont know if this has been posted i cant recall seeing it. here it is
RT-News writes: "A film based on Magneto, a nemesis of the X-Men, is in the works for 20th Century Fox, Variety reports. Writer Sheldon Turner, who has done work on recent remakes of "The Longest Yard," "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," and the "Amityville Horror," is working on a treatment. Magneto has been played by Ian McKellen in the two "X-Men" films, but because the spin-off script will focus on Magneto’s formative years, it may not include the British actor."
The original X-Men film began with a prologue that showed Magneto as a child being led to a concentration camp by Nazis, and that is the period in which the new film will take place.
The storyline will heavily involve Professor X (played by Patrick Stewart in the films). That character was a soldier in the allied force that liberated the concentration camps. The professor meets Magneto after the war, and while they bond over the realization that they are alike in their special powers, their differences soon turn them into enemies.
tom felton would be a good quicksilver....who do you reakon will be the scarlet witch?
..Ian McKellen will play Magneto in the X-Men spin-off movie, according to John Bruno, X-Men: The Last Stand FX supervisor by way of Superhero Hype. The movie has been touted as a prequel/origin story so it's likely that McKellen would portray the mutant at his present age, flashbacking to the past, rather than as a young man.
This was borne out by comments made by outgoing Marvel Studios exec Avi Arad who talked with iF Magazine. The Magneto movie, he said, would be "starting with a younger version. It's the story of Magneto's life, and it will span some years."
here is the link for the rest of the article s which includes some exciting stuff about another x men sequel and possibly some of the characters that have died returning
here is also a possible cast list but its from imdb so its probably unreliable
Cast (in alphabetical order)
Tom Felton .... Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver (rumored)
Ian McKellen .... Magneto
Rebecca Romijn .... Raven Darkholme/Mystique (in talks)
Patrick Stewart .... Professor Charles Xavier
