Directed by David S. Goyer.
Batman Begins screenwriter David S. Goyer directs this X-Men spin-off exploring the origins of the formidable Marvel super-villain who was once liberated from Auschwitz by future mutant leader Charles Xavier. Ushered along with his parents into the most notorious concentration camp of the Nazi era, Magneto gradually discovers that he has the ability to telekinetically manipulate metal. Later freed from the Auschwitz by the very man who would eventually become his nemesis, Magneto sets out on a vengeful quest to perfect his powers by tracking down and killing the Nazi war criminals who tormented him as a young child. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

"[quote user="lopezdash"] X-Men Origins: Wolverine does look pretty cool! I can't wait. I know they're making another X-Men Origins, but I can't remember about who. [/quote] I can't wait for both of them. Origins: Wolverine should be pretty amazing with Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds playing Deadpool. And I haven't heard too much more about Magneto, but Ian McKellen is always incredible and I hope they tie in his children Quicksilver and The Scarlet Witch since they are more than likely going to be in or at least mentioned in The Avengers movie.

 "There’s been a lot of talk lately about all the mutant cameos appearing in the X-Men spin-off X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but we haven’t heard much about any characters set to show up in the other spin-off, X-Men Origins: Magneto. Until now. According to George “El Guapo” Roush at The Latino Review, the Magneto film will feature either Beast or Nightcrawler. The uncertainty over which lies in the fact that, while on a visit to a creature effects shop, Roush saw a photo (or rendering) of a blue-costumed character who he was told is a young Beast (played by Kelsey Grammar in X-Men: The Last Stand). Yet the character is described by Roush as having a tail, which suggests that the effects person was mistaken and that it’s really a young Nightcrawler (played by Alan Cumming in X2: X-Men United). Roush has printed an update acknowledging the Nightcrawler possibility but doesn’t understand why the effects guy would have had it wrong. Of course, fans of the Marvel comic books should see the ...

 "Now that we’re sure there’s an Avengers movie on the way, and that it will be tied into the movies Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, Ant-Man and Captain America (full title: The First Avenger: Captain America), it’s time to begin speculating on what other characters will be cast to fill out the team’s roster. In addition to the four characters starring in their own preceding titles, as well as cameo-man Nick Fury, there’s a good chance we’ll see Vision and Black Widow rounding out an even six team members. Yet I speculate on the basis that I haven’t picked up an issue of any Avengers title in at least a decade. Still, I’m excited about the film and have hopes of seeing at least one of my favorite, deserving superheroes end up on the big screen in The Avengers since none of them will likely get their own movie. Plus, a bunch of them allow for more Marvel movie tie-ins. So, I ask that Marvel Studios feature a lucky seven teammates and showcase at least one of the following come 2011: Ms. ... " [More]

 "Villains are oftentimes more interesting than heroes. So, it isn’t surprising when a villain becomes popular enough to warrant his or her own comic/movie/book/etc. The latest, according to IESB, will be Venom, one of the three villains featured in the horrible superhero sequel Spider-Man 3. For Marvel Comics readers, this isn’t that shocking. Venom received his own comic titles long ago, and disappointingly turned semi-good-guy vigilante. But will the movie spin-off be the same kind of water-down? If we look at the two ways a villain spin-off typically goes, it’s probable. First, there’s the villain origin piece, which includes movies like Hannibal Rising, The Scorpion King, Wicked, the upcoming X-Men Origins: Magneto and of course the Star Wars prequels. They attempt to show how the evolution of a wronged person who becomes the iconic villain we’re familiar with. They try to make us sympathize, but usually they just come close to ruining the character. Rarely there is an origin st ... " [More]
