Its Official: Michael Fassbender to play Magneto in X-Men: First Class

According to Heat Vision Blog, Michael Fassbender has signed on the dotted line and has officially joined X-Men: First Class as the X-Men's arch-nemesis Magneto. He had also been courted as playing a villain in the Spider-Man movie relaunch.

Fassbender will join the previously announced James McAvoy as Professor Charles Xavier, and Benjamin Walker in the role of Beast.

Michael Fassbender has gotten his big break in the recent Quentin Tarentino movie Inglorious Basterds, and he has shown that he can be quite charismatic. My question is could he be as good a Magneto as Sir Ian McKellen, or could he be even better?

Could we have a new Magneto signed up soon? Heat Vision Blog reports that early discussions between Fox studio and actor Michael Fassbender (Inglorious Basterds, Jonah Hex), for the role of Magneto in X-Men: First Class, have begun.

The movie is getting prepped for a shooting start in august and will be directed by Matthew Vaughn.

If Fassbender signs on the dotted line, he will share the screen with James McAvoy, who has already been cast as a young Charles Xavier.
