We’re not putting too much stock into any of these casting claims, but following this past week’s Professor X and Jean Grey rumours, there’s a possible update on the McU’s Magneto.
According to scooper @MyTimeToShineH, Marvel Studios is eyeing three-time Oscar winner Sir Daniel Day-Lewis for the role of the Master of Magnetism. Would he ever really consider a superhero movie role? We wouldn’t bank on it, though the same might have once been said for Sir Ian McKellen.
It’s worth noting that this comes after the insider said, “No new [X-Men] cast will be introduced in the upcoming Avengers films, because the focus is on giving closure to the original characters. Casting hasn’t started yet because director Jake Schreier hasn’t officially signed on.
