Magneto (TV Series)

[Sotiris]

he X-Men are coming to the MCU in a few years’ time, that much has already been confirmed. Kevin Feige teased at Comic-Con back in July that “the mutants” were on their way, following Marvel’s acquisition of the rights from Fox. No doubt the studio has big plans for the various iconic X-Men characters that they now can add to their stable and as is the MCU way, we’d expect a lot of solo projects for them as well, as suggested by Avengers: Endgame writer Christopher Markus.

In fact, according to our sources – the same ones who told us about the She-Hulk show back in April, and that an Aladdin sequel was in development before it was later confirmed – Marvel is looking to do a Magneto TV series for Disney Plus. This is obviously in the very earliest stages of development, so it could always end up being scrapped as plans change along the way. But for now, at least, they want to pursue the project if they can find a good enough story to support it.

In fact, there’s recently been some talk of Breaking Bad‘s Giancarlo Esposito as a possible MCU Magneto, seeing as he’s being eyed for a mystery villain role. However, we haven’t heard anything concrete about that at present.

I really like the potential casting for Magneto here although I imagine they're going to erase his Jewish heritage and history as a Holocaust survivor, which I'm not too pleased.

Magneto without his Jewish backstory isn't Magneto, but Disney is too much of a baby to showcase his story.

Of all characters to randomly "change" their backgrounds they do it to Magneto...

I've heard they plan on making him a survivor of a more recent genocide or racial conflict, something in Africa or South America instead.
