The Beast Meets Magneto?

Bookmark: Digg Bookmark del.icio.us Bookmark Technorati Bookmark Furl Bookmark
Source:  Latino Review
Latino Review happened on an interesting photo while visiting the Hellboy II: The Golden Army creature effects shop. It seems that Beast A.K.A. Hank McCoy is making a special appearance in Magneto, 20th Century Fox's X-Men spin-off.

Magneto is directed by David S. Goyer, and takes a look at the early life of Eric Lensherr and his friendship with Charles Xavier. The spinoff will follow a young Magneto (played in the original trilogy by Ian McKellen) discovering if his powers are real or not and the journey of his survival as a young man and how the one-time allies became mortal enemies.

thats what i was thinking too rad. im more hyped for this than i am in favor of wolverine. wolverine will suck cuz its kinda over done already. i am interested in seeing gambit and deadpool thats all.

but at least for this, we get to see magneto as a boy fighting off against the nazis. if his childhood persona is anything like the elderly mutant we kno and love 2day, he will no doubt cause some serious damage. i remember seeing XMEN 1 for the first time and freaking out when i saw how he bent the fence all up when they took lensherrs mother away. that was one of my favorite parts
this has more potential then wolverine, plus i just like magneto better. but they can deff screw it up with too many characters.

this will prob go the same way as the wolverine movie, they'll have about 60 main characters!

i just want to say if they did a reboot it would be totally new, new director, new actors. I think they should just get Bryan singer back on the films i mean the actors in the roles are great and on the Magneto film, I'm interested, who's directing

i wonder who will play the younger versions of the characters any ideas anyone

cool, but it seems that these spin off movies are just giving the rest of the characters a chance to shine.

Sheesh. I have to be a comic-book freak to keep up with all this.

no reboot, the third film did not blow everything out of proportion, it can still work in a third sequel to x-men, this sounds real cool though, maybe these two spin-offs will give clues to the fourth entry

I know, gui is a fucking retard. And this is cool i guess. I'm not really in the mood to give a proper opinion
