This post relates to: Magneto

Looks likes it's a green light for the Magneto movie.  I can think of perhaps one person her that will be happy. 

It's confirmed, a Magneto spin-off (in addition to the Wolverine spin-off already talked about) is under development, and they've already got a director - David Goyer! The only catch is that it won't be our favorite white wizard Ian McKellen playing Magneto, but that's only because the story isn't going to be set around the current X-Men films’ timeframe, instead it will be set around his young years and his origin. The script has already been written by Sheldon Turner (The Longest Yard, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning) and Fox will start up production after Wolverine.

The Young Magneto Chronicles?  Could be interesting.  And with Goyer on hand, I have some faith in it.
