Latest From X-Men Origins: Magneto Movie

X-Men Movie Update

It occurred to me while reading the recent Empire article that the X-Men universe will never concede itself to the reboot syndrome simply because of the sheer number of stories that can be told; they can go on indefatigably, one (or more) for each character, as long as audience attention is elastic and...

Ian McKellen Talks The Hobbit and Magneto

Fantasy usually attracts people whose imaginations are way more interesting than real life. Far from being eccentric, there is virtue in the way they spin together entire worlds out of pure ideas. It’s a quality that The Hobbit director Guillermo del Toro has in abundance, which Ian McKellen discussed...

If comic book films are going to continue to be recycled and reimagined, they must be less reverential, more innovative, more relevant; Batman Begins signaled a shift in this direction.

Producer Talks X-Men: First Class Franchise

Beast Will be in Magneto Movie?

Haven’t heard a lot about the “X-Men” spin-off movie about Magneto for a while, which is probably on purpose. The Powers That Be are probably waiting to see if the Wolverine spin-off sells before they start on the Magneto version, and all this pre-production work on the movie, such...

David Goyer Talks Magneto, Jumper, Super Max, Invisible Man, and More

David S. Goyer is one busy man. No, let me rephrase that: I don’t know how anyone can work as hard or on as many projects at once the way David Goyer does. I swear there must be two or three Davids out there running around scripting “Magneto” and “Jumper” and scouting locations...

More Details About that Magneto Movie

You can’t keep the Master of Magnetism down, as the X-Men certainly found out in the comic books and in the movies, as Magneto (played in the film by Ian McKellen) kept coming back again and again. Producer Avi Arad recently talked with MTV about the upcoming “Magneto” spin-off movie,...
