Since its title and story were announced, anticipation is high for Fox’s upcoming X-Men: Dark Phoenix, which now may feature a role for Michael Fassbender’s Magneto.
It appears Fox has worked out Fassbender’s contract at the least and will see Magneto play a part in the Dark Phoenix story on the big screen.
After previously seeing Sir Ian McKellen put his stamp on the character, Fassbender was still able to bring something new to the character while staying true to who Magneto would eventually become.
Fassbender took over the role of Erik Lehnsherr in X-Men: First Class as part of Fox’s soft reboot of the franchise.
