Fassbender as Magneto in X-Men: First Class!

The question was which role would Michael Fassbender choose? Would he play the villain in the upcoming Spider-Man reboot? Or would he play the role of a young Magneto in X-men: First Class? After seeing him crap the bed so badly in Jonah Hex, honestly I'm not sure I want him to play either. Not that it was his fault. Anyway, we're getting something of a confirmation now as Deadline is reporting that Fassbender is in early talks to play the master of magnetism in Matthew Vaughn's prequel.

If he signs on he'll be playing opposite James McAvoy(Wanted) as the X-men's leader Professor Charles Xavier. The role of Magneto had previously been played by Ian McKellan in three X-men films.
