With Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine dominating the box office and rekindling interest in 20th Century Fox’s legacy franchises like X-Men, Michael Fassbender is weighing in exclusively with Collider on possibly reprising his role as Magneto. While the 47-year-old actor told the Happy Sad Confused podcast last year that he had a “great run” as Erik Lehnsherr across four movies, he didn’t rule out a return this time around — especially when considering he’s a big fan of Deadpool.
Balancing his professional career with his family life is a priority for the actor. “I’ve got two little boys. I want to be available to them and be around,” he says of the children he shares with his wife Alicia Vikander. “So right now, my focus and energy is really going to be on The Agency, but you never say never.”
When considering the comic book history between the three characters, adding Fassbender’s Magneto to the mix of Reynolds’ Deadpool and Jackman’s Wolverine would no doubt create an electrifying cinematic moment for fans. Though avid fans of the comic books will remember that Deadpool and Magneto clash briefly in Secret Wars, it’s messier for Magneto and Wolverine. The X-Men characters have butted heads for years, partially because of Magneto’s ability to mess with Wolverine’s adamantium skeleton.
As for Fassbender, he told Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that he was “lucky” to play Magneto. The Oscar-nominated actor portrayed Magneto in 2011’s X-Men: First Class, which reimagined Sir Ian McKellan’s portrayal of Erik Lehnsherr as this tortured, vengeful figure. Injecting a ton of humanity into the role, Fassbender continued his run as the beloved villain in X-Men: Days of Future Past, X-Men: Apocalypse, and Dark Phoenix.
