I've been in touch with them. I'm sure that project will move forward in the next year or so.

not sure how excited i am. i think either way it was set in stone awhile ago and believe it will happen.
I even had a book about Magneto that came with a collectors statue years ago that announced the film was in the works. whether it will rock or suck, have to really wait and see it. im guessing itll probably come off so-so though.

I'd love to see his origins told on the bigscreen & include Scarlet Witch, Polaris, & Quicksilver maybe later on in  the movie to setup for there sequels or have Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver as 1combined movie

This could be awesome, the story is original for a comicbook movie. Kinda like the X-men meets The Pianist

Im not excited at all...

How exciting... 
 
Though I'd prefer to see an x-men first class movie over that. 

"People don't like seeing actors do younger versions of great old actors.  Magneto is played out.  He gets played out in the movies as well as the comics.  No one will want to see someone do what Ian Mac has done so good.  He's now way to old too, even is they do the younger special effect on him.  Only good thing is David Goyer is involved, but come on now.  Time to get a new villan, and a new mutant villian, not an army dude.  We've had four X-men movies and 2 major villians only.  Why do people think that Star Trek was able to make so many movies.  They all had differant villans.  I don't even like Star Trek but I watched the movies because most of them were watchable, because of a new villian every time. "

I say have Magento be about Magneto and Charles meeting, and then the rift that forms between them with their idealogy. Not too much action, but it would be really interesting to see things from his point of view. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver could work if it showed Magneto forming his Brotherhood, but that might risk wasting time. Or maybe he's turned sour when Wanda and Pietro are killed in a raid of Sentinel Prototypes.

Then, you have First Class, which is Xavier forming the team, showing a couple origins of the students, but for God's sake, don't make Magneto the villain again! The villains of the story should be the Sentinels, where it would basically follow the same plot-line of the comics. Maybe it could have Jason Stryker too, maybe even as another antagonist. If there's a sequel, then maybe throw Magneto in, but just give him a break already.

I wonder who'd play a young Erik

Can't wait to see it 

As long as it's like THIS BOOK, I'll be extremely happy.

I wouldnt mind if they did the movie like Magnetos Testament cause that was quite frankly AWESOME.

There are Sooooo many movies I want to see before this. But if they want to do anything with Ian they better do it fast..He's old.

" @inferiorego: Dont know much about that but the style and tone would be the best way to go, much the the start of X1 which still gives me chills "

I don't know if they'll use Ian.  If it's an 'origins' movie, there's no need.  Back in January, he mentioned that he hadn't even seen the script yet.  The only way they could have him is if it was him remembering the 'good times.' "

Can't wait.

I agree with G-Man, they already told all you really need to know about Magneto in the introduction of X-Men

They could always go with Apocalypse, Bastion, Sebastian Shaw & the Hellfire Club, Mr. Sinister & the Marauders, Mojo & his crew. Those are all good ideas. "

I never really cared for Magneto enough to read into his entire origins before meeting the X-Men and forming the Brotherhood.  So I can't say I'm too excited for this movie.
 
As long as Mystique makes an appearance, I'll be happy.   :D

What about Emma? She was rumored to have her own move too!
