Fans familiar with the X-Men titles know Magneto has not always been a powerful magnetic controlling force – he was once a little kid. With the Magneto movie still on the movie slate, Marvel is getting a jump on the look at the young Erik Lensherr, with X-Men: Magneto Testament #1. The company has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek at the issue that arrives September 10, 2008.
Obsessed With Film is also reporting the Magneto movie will take place in the time period of the current X-Men films and may remind many viewers of Boys From Brazil.
Take the jump for some potential spoilers about the flick that will reunite Magneto and Prof. X.
David Goyer is certainly in the news alot lately. First parting ways with the Flash, then all the gossip about the non-superhero movie SuperMax, and finally today Variety is reporting Goyer will direct “Magneto”, a spin-off movie from 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios.
The first film will be an origin story with Magneto hunting down Nazi war criminals who tortured him, and coming to grips with his mutant abilities. Since it is a prequel to the X-films, Ian McKellen’s involvement is expected to be limited.
Goyer is developing the script that was written by Sheldon Turner.
Yesterday, during the Marvel Studios Analyst webcast, the company revealed more details on their future projects.
