It is going to be interesting to see Magneto played by both Michael Fassbender and Ian McKellan in next summer's X-Men: Days of Future Past. McKellan was too old for the part even in the first X-Men film, but I liked his interpretation enough that I was able to overlook that. I thought Fassbender did a great job in X-Men: First Class, and he had the physique and presence to closer emulate the character from the comics. The sequel looks to be quite different from the DOFP comic storyline, so who knows where Magneto will wind up by the end of the time-bending tale. Will Bryan Singer bring things around to reflect the comics more, or will the franchise continue to stake out it's own wonky continuity? I guess we will all find out next year.

Should'a been Will Magnus instead of Magneto. Maybe Magnus can take on the Manhunters and the Sentinels. Now that would be a battle royal!
Magnus vs. Red Tornado? Magnus vs. Bender? We could go on...
I have to agree with Isaac. Magneto might be able to electromagnetically reprogram robots. But, MAKE them?! Uh-uh!
Not unless he was really Machinesmith in a robo-doppleganger of Magneto.
