“Picture this as an origin story of a young Magnus, living in Germany and his experiences of persecution, seeing the dark side of humanity. The worst and the most vile. How it taints his soul and his heart, but there’s still a humanity there.

He starts to discover his powers, but he holds it in. He is an introvert, and he never really displays his powers much through the beginning of the film cause he’s ashamed. He grows up with numerous betrayals by friends of his. He gains a love and that love dissolves into another failure.

He’s staring as a young teenager into a camp fire, examining himself and his place. The injustices he sees happening to the people he loves. To the Mutants who are starting to pop up from place to place.

He ultimately sheds all his fears and his insecurities– his thick shell and he becomes a phenomenon that we know today.

The difference I think in this film is that they should really put this in the perspective of not a Protagonists but an Antagonistic angle. Where you are not liking human beings yourself. Your seeing everything through his eyes. You’re rooting for him and his very dramatic actions. This movie makes a case for his perspective. Period. Almost like this movie should recruit some of the viewers to the side of Magneto. Isn’t that what the Xmen comic books brought us anyways? Various perspectives!

I mean Magneto.

Pine as Magneto? lol, I can’t see that at all but I have a feeling the Trek music in the trailer put that image in your mind

The trailer portrays Magneto as the fascinating character he is. The clips from the 3 X movies combined justify an origins movie. This era of Xavier’s and Magneto’s past is shady, it would be cool too see the blank spaces filled in.

Ever since this years Star Trek used that song in their official trailer, everyone’s been using it in their fan trailers. :p

Frankly, I’ve seen much better fan trailers made than this one, this is just okay editing of clips from the movies.

Ian could be tapped for a Magneto movie, where he didn’t play Magneto he could narrate the movie for the earlier parts. What might be interesting is start the movie where X-3 left off. Need an excuse to get him to talk about his life story. Perhaps a chess game? As lame as this might sound it could be made interesting and exciting.

I could see Chris Pine being a young Magneto or if you want to go a little older Aaron Eckhart.
