Placed in the 1960s the movie is seen as a prequel to the three earlier X-Men films with Fassbender and McAvoy featuring younger stories of the characters primarily onscreen established by Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart and is slated for release on June 3, 2011.
The story: Before Erik Lensherr and Charles Xavier took the names Magneto and Professor X, they are two young men realizing their powers for the foremost time.
Before they become archenemies, they were closed of friends, both working with other Mutants for the end of the greatest hazard the world has yet known.
In the course, a rift among them opened, which began the endless war between brotherhood of Magneto’s and the Professor’s X-MEN.’
Michael Fassbender speaks about taking the character of Magneto from Sir Ian McKellen, “Hopefully I won’t disappoint the fan base out there, because I know that what Ian McKellen did sort of latched onto a lot of imaginations and was very successful.”
“But what drew me was the script and Matthew Vaughn and the fact that James McAvoy was going to be playing young Xavier. I thought it was a fresh take on the whole story.”
As for condemnations of the final ensemble X-Men film, 2006′s The Last Stand that excessively changed roles that introduced into the movie and then not widened, Michael stated this plot was more careful.
He clarifies: ‘The cool thing about this movie is that I think it does deal with each individual mutant, and the ones they’ve chosen are all very much individuals and unique personalities with unique gifts”.
