Magneto

August 29, 2007 · Print This Article

The Scoop “Magneto” : Got this in my email yesterday, although its not a lot of information, I think its worth posting. “Magneto” is in the Script stage, and is considered “In Development”. Great news, as Magneto would be a fantastic superhero to build a movie franchise around, if you ask me.

The movie “Magneto” is a look at the early life of Eric Lensherr and his friendship with Charles Xavier, and how the one-time allies became mortal enemies. It is not known how much of the movie is based around Lensherr’s time in WW2, in the concentration camps. However, one insider has told me the movie is more to do with the discovering of his magnetic power, and his early days. Makes sense, since this would lead to more movies.

The good news? Batman Begins writer David S. Goyer is in charge of the film. No inside word yet on who is being considered for the lead role, I’ll keep this updated.

    Any ideas who would play the role of a young Magneto?

    I hope the movie isn’t about his time in Nazi Germany etc.. that would really be a bummer of a plot. I always thought Magneto never discovered his powers until he was 9-10 years of age? How far back do they want to take this plot?

    None of the young kids today have any sort of connection with the Nazi’s, or WW2 … they just wouldn’t find it interesting.

Got something to say?
