From Superherohype, "According to SuperHeroHype.com the special effects supervisor for "X-Men: The Last Stand", John Bruno, has confirmed that actor Ian McKellen will be reprising his role of Magneto for the upcoming spin-off/prequel. McKellen is said to be very excited about the idea. "Magneto" would cover the early years of the X-Men villain, giving a detailed look into the history that forged his hatred for humans. From his time within a Nazi concentration camp, to his involvement with Professor Xavior in creating the first school for mutants, the movie is bound to be quite epic. And now they have at least the star power to back it up."

I don't think this idea is pointless. I think it actually stands to be more interesting than the Wolverine movie.
UPDATE: "Ian McKellan is NOT doing Magneto Movie
So earlier Shawn one of our contributors wrote a great piece about Ian McKellan revising his role as MAGNETO ( McKellen Confirmed for Magneto Prequel ) and thanks to a reader who sent us a quote from Ians official site making it REALLY clear its not true. Quote:
"I am a total fan of John Bruno — his dedication to the X-Men films and his achievements in The Last Stand are exemplary. As on screen, he has made the impossible possible and the fantastic believable and the dreamworld actual, I am going to accept that John's rumour may well turn out to be true. In the meantime, this is the first I have heard of it. I suppose that the huge success of the third film makes it more likely that prequels, sequels, and spin-offs may now be in the planning." — Ian McKellen, 1 June 2006
Props to "Lilone" for emailing us this great scoop. So sorry folks Ian McKellan is not doing a Magneto movie, but hey who knows, he might :)"
