According to The Geek Files, "The roaring debut of 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' has been the launchpad for several other spin-offs getting the green light.
We've heard about a second Wolverine film, a Deadpool movie and a Gambit spin-off. And it now seems there is new movement on 'X-Men Origins: Magneto,' a project that would explore the backstory of the magnetically-powered archvillain played in the X-Men trilogy by Ian McKellen.
Sources are now saying that James McTeigue is in negotiations to direct the movie, instead of David S. Goyer. And Internet Movie Database confirms this, with its listing for McTeigue saying he is in talks to take on Magneto. "
McTeigue was just announced as a possible director for the "Conan" remake and now for "Magneto" as well. It will be interesting is which film he decides to make unless he can do both.
Sheldon Turner wrote the original screenplay for the "Magneto" film and when Goyer came on board he reworked it. He was also set to direct but has several other film projects o his plate including a movie sequel to H.G. Wells' "The Invisible Man." Fox then began looking for other directors to get started on "Magneto."
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
