Fassbender Offically Signs on to X-men: First Class

I feel like I've written about this story a half dozen times. Oh yeah, that's because I have. As was basically confirmed but not made official until today, Michael Fassbender has decided to take on the role of the master of magnetism, Magneto, in X-Men: First Class. He had been doggedly pursued by both Sony and Fox for two different roles in Marvel films, the other being the villain in the upcoming Spider-Man reboot. With rumors being that the villain will be The Lizard, it was sortof a no-brainer which one he'd choose.

Fassbener joins James McAvoy as Professor Charles Xavier, and Benjamin Walker as The Beast in Matthew Vaughn's superhero prequel.

Thank goodness that's finally over.
