X-MEN: FIRST CLASS To Supersede MAGNETO

Director Bryan Singer who’s now in charge of directing X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, which chronicles X-Men in their younger years at Xavier’s school, previously said that the movie will feature Magneto and Xavier in their twenties. As we know, for a while Fox has been talking about making a spin-off movie about the early years and rise of MAGNETO but now Singer talked, via Heat Vision, and explained that it won’t be necessary anymore since we’re pretty much going to see younger Magneto dealt with in X-MEN: FIRST CLASS…

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.

I don’t see an exhaustion. The X-Men universe is boundless. These are great characters. And as young characters, they are quite different than the characters we have seen in the contemporary movies.

That’s fine, I’m not one to demand MAGNETO have his own movie as long as DEADPOOL is still happening, breaking the fourth wall would be quite entertaining.
If you’d recall, producer Lauren Schuler Donner once said that the plan for X-MEN ORIGINS: MAGNETO  is to have the story start in the concentration camps and has Magneto coming out of there. She said David Goyer wrote a brilliant script and that the movie might get made in five years.
Don’t hold your breath.
Fox recently hired scribe Jamie Moss to write a new screenplay for X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, original draft was by Josh Schwartz.
Fox is hoping X-MEN: FIRST CLASS will become its own franchise as those characters grow up.
Singer also said before he goes back to the mutants, the plan is to direct JACK AND THE GIANT KILLER first, a project which is currently in visual development, they’ve got script, and are doing artwork and pre-viz.
He also said BATTLESTAR GALACTICA deal is locked in and they’re looking for a writer but EXCALIBUR is still in negotiation.
