No plot details yet but this is step in the right direction, cheers, mate! Michael Fassbender who did a fantastic job playing younger Magneto in X-Men: First Class last year (which was well-received by fans and critics alike and did bloody well at the box office) previously expected for the friendship story of Magneto-Xavier to continue in the sequel
