Michael Fassbender: Choice Between Spider Man and X Men
Michael Fassbender had a hot year last year, in Quentin Tarantino‘s “Inglourious Basterds,” and in Steve McQueen‘s “The Hunger.”
He also proved himself a good dancer in Cannes with Robin Wright Penn at the big “Basterds” party.
Now Fassbender is in–as his “Basterds” David Nivenish character might say, a bit of a pickle.
He’s being pursued, I hear, for two different Marvel comics movies. Matthew Vaughn is said to want him for “X Men: First Class.” Fassbender would play young Magneto, the precursor for Ian McKellen‘s later character. (Because of early senility, I mixed Magneto up with Professor X/Charles Xavier in an earlier version of this story. This is also largely due to my hearing Paul McCartney singing “Magneto and Titanium Man” in my head. Sorry.) James McAvoy is already signed to play Young Xavier.
At the same time, Fassbender is being pursued to play the villain in “Spider Man 4,” aka “No Toby Maguire Here.”
Two different movies from Marvel, but two different studios: Fox for the first, and Columbia for the second. He can’t do both.
Either way, Fassbender can’t lose. He’s got four films coming out in 2010 alone including “Jonah Hex.” By the time he’s a supercomic villain, he’ll be a bona fide movie star.

Pienso que estás en lo cierto. Muy buen blog!

[…] Comencemos con un curioso rumor doble aparecido en Showbiz 411. El portal asegura que la agenda de Michael Fassbender está que echa humo. Su destino, se quiera o no, es un proyecto Marvel pero, aquí está la curiosidad, deberá elegir entre ser Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto en X-Men: First Class (2011) de Matthew Vaughn o el villano de Ultimate Spider-Man (2012) de Marc Webb. Parece ser que para el primer caso ha sido el propio Vaughn quien ha reclamado a la 20th Century Fox que Fassbender haga frente a James McAvoy, este un rejuvenecido Charles Xavier, en el relanzamiento de la saga mutante. La segunda posibilidad la plantea Columbia, que considera al actor como ideal para encarnar a un villano del que por ahora no se conoce el nombre. X-Men: First Class se estrenará el 3 de junio del 2011, el reboot de Spider-Man el 3 de julio del 2012 y en 3D. La verdad es que con más de un año entre ambos proyectos cabe la posibilidad de que Fassbender firme por ambos films, pero con la moda de retrasos, modificaciones de planning, etc., podría acabar haciendo colisionar a ambos proyectos. Por mi parte, creo que ser Lehnsherr le asegura volver a repetir. Ser un villano en Spider-Man mola, pero si el guionista elige el camino de la muerte desaparecerás en futuros films. Os dejo ahora con un nuevo clip de Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010) de Edgar Wright que fue presentado en la gala de los MTV Movie Awards 2010 de este fin de semana. […]
