Magneto (film)
Magneto is an
X-Men possible future spinoff film about the main X-Men villain,
Magneto. It was announced by
Tom Rothman on an interview with
Canmag.com. Not much is known about the cast, but it is expected that
Sir Ian McKellen will return for the title role, with Producer
Lauren Shuler-Donner commenting "What's a Magneto movie without Ian?"
[http://www.superherohype.com/news/x-mennews.php?id=4329].
On the prospect of his return, McKellen has stated that if produced, both he and
Patrick Stewart would in fact be portraying the younger versions of their characters through a special effect that apparently is able to make the two actors whole decades younger.
[http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/704/704451p1.html] This same technique is used in the opening scene of
X-Men: The Last Stand.
IMDB's plot summary states: "A young Magneto seeks revenge on the Nazis who killed his family while befriending a young Charles Xavier." It currently lists
Ian McKellen and
Patrick Stewart as definite cast members.
