‘X-Men Apocalypse’ Cast: Michael Fassbender Teases Magneto Storyline! Is He Suggesting 'Fatal Attractions' Will Be Used In X-Men Sequel Along With Apocalypse Storyline?

"X-Men: Apocalypse is still almost two years away, but fans and actors are all giddy about the possible storyline. Michael Fassbender tries to sway the odds in his characters favor by pitching a Magneto-based storyline to writer Simon Kinberg.

IGN caught up with the actor while promoting the movie "Frank" and he shared a conversation he had with writer Simon Kinberg. Asked on whether he'll go toe=to=toe with Apocalypse:

"Yeah, I mean, I haven't got a script or anything yet, but I'm always excited to see where Simon Kinberg's going to go with the next X-Men. X-Men's been great to me and allowed me to do so much, including films like Frank. I've had a lot of fun with the cast and with the character, Magneto. So I had a good chat with Simon [Kinberg] when we were on our way to Moscow, and we tossed around some ideas on the plane over there. So I'm pretty excited to see how it all comes together."

The nagging question would be the ideas that they tossed around. IGN naturally asked and the most probable answer:

"Well, I can't really tell you," Fassbender laughed. "I want it to be in the next one! I've had these conversations with Simon and there's a certain strand of his story that I think is pretty interesting and would like to explore, if we could."

In the comments section, one of the prominent answers was the Asteroid M storyline. This story featured the scene where Magneto ripped off the adamantium laced on Wolverine's skeleton.

While the storyline did not involve Apocalypse, the creative team has all the liberty of rewriting the script for the film version. Of course, Magneto would be vital cog in the story, and it might pre-empt the eventual exit of Hugh Jackman.
