This story would probably utilize some of the Magneto story because it deals with a young Magneto, so it might supersede that because this would explore that relationship between a young energetic professor and a disenfranchised victim of the Holocaust.

if first calss covers the origins of magneto would ruin any chance adn reason to make a solo film , unless it bombs big time. I am worreid that they are focusing on that as the main story for first class,  its something the original xmen arent really envolved in. The whole friendship  turned sour "mags and xavier" happens before the first team form.

Noo,
I don't think a Magneto movie would workk.
 
But a First Class movie will be amazingg.
I soo can't wait

It's my understanding that First Class picks up with the First Class after the events in X3. It involves that young line up from the last 3 films and isn't really related to the first class comics other then in name. I really think that if they want to do a magneto film they still might, but they have better ideas.

"This is the formative years of Xavier and Magneto, and the formation of the school and where there relationship took a wrong turn," Singer said. "There is a romantic element, and some of the mutants from 'X-Men' will figure into the plot, though I don't want to say which ones. There will be a lot of new mutants and a great villain." 

Well I really don't think people are looking to see a movie about the Holocaust anytime soon. I like Magneto, but I don't think its really necessary.

Why can we have both?

I wouldn't count it out just yet. X2 dealt a lot with Wolverine's origin but what do you know? He got his own movie.

I want to see the movie Bryan Singer makes. Because that'll be the good one of the two.

I would love to Magneto's Testament on the big screen. But from what i've heard about how the movie was going to be, then no. I'd rather there wouldn't be a Magneto Origins unless it's true to the story already written.

I would be so disappointed if they cancelled Magneto's Origin movie. That's the one I was most excited for. The begin scene from the first X-men movie with Magneto as a child has always been one of my favorites. I think there's a good story to be told here and I totally think it could work. 
 
As for the First Class movie, I thought it would concentrate more on the first line of  X-men as the name suggests rather than a young Xavier and Magneto. I want to see the original X-men, including a non-blue haired Beast, in their traditional yellow and Black uniforms. That would be awesome! 

Given what I had seen of Goyer's plans for X-Men Origins: Magneto (an Anakin Skywalker analog with mad scientists and Nazi hunting and being partly repsonsible for the death of his wife and child), I am much happier having Magneto's story covered by Singer in a First Class movie. Singer "got" the character, Goyer did not.
 
And we don't need to see Magneto during the Holocaust, we get it. I never wanted his origins film to focus on that. I thought it could have covered in the opening credits. Its the space in between the Holocaust and Cape Citadel that people want to see.

I know a lot of people don't agree with me on this. But, I think the movies bombed. People wanted to see 616 movies, and instead Fox said it was an alternate universe. Which is sometimes fine with me, except they essentially pulled out my favorite characters, and the ones that were int he movies were totally lame and took backseats, despite being pretty intricately laced into the plot. But I digress. I think a Magneto movie would be neat, if they stuck well to the original plot of his story. Don't focus too much on the holocaust, because really, that was really before Magneto became Magneto. Skim over it, and get to him meetin Xavier, his first child dying, etc. etc. 
 
As for First Class, I hope it makes up for the first three. I really dont' want it to be turned into an X4. I would probably watch it, in hopes that it came make up for the previous three, but not likely. I hope they can go back to the originals, and while the thing about First Class is, the lacking of mutants, I think that would be a more interesting place to start, and perhaps go forward from there with sequels and having a movie that isn't quite as centered around Wolverine and more FUN!

I would rather see First Class happen XD

is it necessary?

Sweet no more magneto film! I like him and all but I like Singer doing this more and from what I hear the script to X-men Origins: Magneto wasn't very good.

well I don't screen write but if they want a winner of a movie start out with how the x-men looked in the beginning, yes hank b4 he grew fur, and the old yellow and blue costumes and maybe halfway into the movie give them the new costumes and do just as john favreau did, use the cominc as a template for the movie.

Yes i still Want ONe
 
X-Men have too many movies already... we need something different besides a X-Men movie with No Iceman and no Wolverine... No Colossus and no NIght Crawler would suck... UNless they jus dont follow the Story of X-Men Movie series... and make Ice cubes join since day one like in the comics instead of in the movie where he joined recently...

 I don't think a Magneto Origins story is necessary. An all-encompassing project dedicated to one X-villain seems a waste of time and money. The producers need to focus on the bigger picture, honestly.

Honestly, I would rather go see X-Men: First Class than a Magneto: Origins movie...His origin was (kinda) told in the first X-Men movie. Brilliantly, too! He was born with magnetic powers that manifested themselves in the concentration camps of WWII. Boom. And...scene. Okay, maybe some attention could be given to Erik and Charles gathering the X-Men and the rift in a First Class movie...But I really can't see a whole movie devoted to Luthor's - I mean Erik's - descent into villainy. As cheesy and campy as it may be I would like to see the original X-Men come together...  

I don't care what singer picks to do as long as he does it I will be happy.

I vote for Deadpool. As long this one happens I´m glad.

Magneto is better then everyone in first class combined

Mags is cool, but it's time to move on. There are plenty of other great X-Villains out there. If it came down to it - I'd still see the movie though. I'd just be happy to see the X-Men back on film.

i dont get why some people dont want to see the origin of magneto that would be awesome some say they are tired of the holocaust but in the xmen story where would magneto come from puppy dogs and sweet dreams you would not have his hurt or emotion wolverine was a great story and everyone knew that story i would love to see how magneto and prof x became friends then seperated from each other 
also people are sayin that we seen it in the first xmen what like 1 min good grief i want to see atleast 90 min please.
