what did he say?

The first announcement of the project came in December 2004 from screenwriter Sheldon Turner, to whom we owe half of Mitard and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. His version, which he described as a cross between the X-Men and The Pianist. This is what it should be Tell the movie :

Years later, in 1956, while he was raising the little girl he had with Magda, Erik met the Auschwitz guard again and killed him in front of witnesses. They burn down his house and kill his wife and children, and Eric destroys the entire village in a rage.

Together, they find themselves at the center of an Egyptian attack when the Suez Canal crisis erupts, and each exposes their power to the other. At the same time, viewers will learn that Kleinman, Decker and the CIA have been allies from the beginning and want to create supersoldiers.

– The Xavier Institute is destroyed by Decker’s men, who Eric finds and destroys. Kleinman flees to Washington, D.C., where Owen Graves is being held, and Eric follows them.

Who Should Play X-Men Origins: Magneto?

At the time, the media asked Ian McKellen a lot about his potential appearance in the film. An insider replied in 2008 that he could shoot digitally rejuvenated scenes, such as a cameo during the prologue.

No official announcement has been made regarding the rest of the potential cast.

Why didn’t it happen?

At the request of the studio, in 2007, David S. Goyer (who recently wrote The Dark Knight for Christopher Nolan) reworked Turner’s script and moved the action to 1961, closer to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Meanwhile, the critical fan reception of X-Men Origins: Wolverine (which swept the comics on a steamroller) and the arrival of X-Men: The Beginning sealed the spin-off’s fate for Magneto.

Several elements of the script were also reworked in this Matthew Vaughn-directed prequel, leaving the Eric Lensherr-centric story behind, but Sheldon Turner getting credit for the 2011 film’s screenplay.
