"Magneto" Spin-Off In Development

[Evil Hobbit]

Er zit heel veel potentie in de geschiedenis van Megneto en Xavier. Een van de meest intrigerende verhaallijnen in de comic.

Another member of the X-Men's extended family is going to be heading to the big screen. David Goyer is set to direct Magneto, which focuses on the early days of the metal-bending mutant.

Variety reported, "[Ian] McKellen's participation in Magneto will likely be limited since the film is an origin story. In a storyline hinted at by the original X-Men films, Magneto comes to grips with his mutant ability to manipulate metal objects as he and his parents try to survive in Auschwitz. Magneto meets Professor Xavier when the latter is a soldier liberating the concentration camp. Magneto hones his powers by hunting down and killing Nazi war criminals who tortured him, and his lust for vengeance turns Xavier and Magneto into enemies. Both characters will be played by actors in their '20s."

Goyer has been involved with several superhero projects including the recently announced Green Arrow film, Super Max, Blade, Batman Begins, and others. His newest film, The Invisible is in theaters now.

''Both characters will be played by actors in their 20s"

Dit gaat waarschijnlijk een Hanibal Rising effect opleveren. Ik betwijfel of er acteurs gevonden kunnen worden die het overtuigend genoeg spelen. Zij moeten toch wat weg hebben van Ian Mckellen en Patrick Stewart. Als de film geloofwaardig wil aansluiten op de andere delen...

Hannibal Rising was qua verhaal al overbodig. Maar over Magneto valt ook over z'n jeugd genoeg dingen te vertellen...ik weet zeker dat dit best wel eens leuk zou kunnen worden.
