Looks like someone is finally taking care of the Magneto movie. IndieLondon caught up with Lauren Shuler Donner, big wig X-Men producer and one of the minds behind Constantine 2, Donner is eager to get cracking on the X-Men Origins: Magneto story.
All Donner will say about the Wolverine origins flick is that it's very much "in the tone of the first X-Men." As for Magneto, Donner said:
We have a great script on Magneto. I’ll tell you the honest truth… I’ve made four movie this year and I was so busy that I didn’t at all talk to the studio while making Magneto because I couldn’t have done it. And David Goyer, who wrote and is going to direct it, also did another movie. So now, he’s done with his and I’m done with two of mine, so when I get back that’s my first order of business to say: “Come on, let’s go and make Magneto.
So here's my question, I'm going to go ahead and assume that Wolverine's origins tale will be successful, and Magneto does well also, at least in the box office. That means more character driven movies on the rise (which has been obvious). What X-Men character (that they aren't already currently making) do you want to see get their own solo movie deal? Our vote is for Deadpool. And maybe Kitty Pryde.
