Variety is reporting David 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.

Raph's Girl note: "The first film..."?! Just how many Magneto movies are they planning?!

Get X-4 made and use that to tell the Jean Grey story properly. This spin-off nonsense is assasine.

Did'nt they learn anything from Electra?

I'm just not so excited about this flick. I really don't care about seeing a 10 year old Magneto running around a concentration camp and getting into all sorts of rascally hijinks. Just because I liked the character as an adult doesn't mean I'm going to care about him as a teenager, especially if there are no other recognizable characters from the previous films or source material.

It sounds like Hannibal Rising all over again.

The only thing I would like about this film is if they went from concentration camp right to him being an adult and being played by Ian. But really they're not going to do an X-4 so this, along with the Wolverine movie, is the closet thing to an x-men movie.

Goyer writes decent comic movies but when he directs we get garbage like Blade Trinity.

As opposed to the fantastic Blade 2....

Oh wait.
