Michael Fassbender Talks Magneto Return After ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Success

by

As a die-hard X-Men fan, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation every time Michael Fassbender‘s name is mentioned in connection with Magneto. His portrayal of the complex character was nothing short of brilliant, and his chemistry with James McAvoy was truly electrifying – pun intended!

Michael Fassbender, a highly acclaimed actor, gains significant recognition for his performances in prominent series, yet it’s his portrayal of Erik Lehnsherr, or Magneto, in the X-Men movies that truly captivates fans.

Sir Ian McKellen’s portrayal of Magneto left a lasting impression on viewers, but Fassbender’s acting alongside James McAvoy was particularly cherished by fans. Fassbender is often recognized for his superb interpretation of the character.

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe prepares to reintroduce the X-Men, it’s expected that a fresh team will be assembled, with Magneto being a likely candidate for inclusion. The resurgence of interest in mutants can be attributed to the popularity of Deadpool and Wolverine, as well as the success of the animated series X-Men ’97 this summer.

Collider interviewed Michael Fassbender about the possibility of reprising his famous role as Magneto. He stated that he enjoyed a “wonderful journey” in four films as Magneto, but hasn’t definitively decided against returning. Additionally, Fassbender expressed admiration for Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds, naming Deadpool as his preferred Marvel character.

As he gears up for his new Showtime series titled “The Agency“, Fassbender remains receptive to intriguing opportunities. However, the right timing plays a crucial role in his choices.

To be honest, it was truly a delight collaborating with Hugh [Jackman]. He’s not only a consummate professional but also a genuine gentleman, his talent simply shines through. As for Ryan [Reynolds], I’ve long been an admirer of his work, particularly the way he’s breathed life into the Deadpool character.

Fassbender emphasized the significance of harmonizing his professional life with his family, ensuring he’s present for his two young sons alongside wife Alicia Vikander. Although he’s deeply engaged in his latest series called “The Agency“, he left room for potential future roles by stating, “I don’t rule anything out completely; I just say ‘you never know’.

Currently, I have two young sons who are a priority in my life. For the moment, I’m devoting my attention and efforts to The Agency, but of course, circumstances can change.
