    he’s a great actor. Will do fine.

    I’m mostly wondering how they’ll handle Magneto, the whole holocaust backstory won’t fit anymore unless they set the movie in the past, or some magic bs.

      Yeah I’m with the other guy you have to keep the Magneto backstory. It’s so wonderfully perfect for the character and for the current times. Just do timey whimey shit, I don’t care. The store is way too important to risk for something so trivial is it was a while ago. For that matter I don’t know why these kind of projects bother setting definitive dates.

        there already so little Jewish characters in the media, I think growing up magneto was the only jew I saw on tv.

        and representation matters.

        I want kids to grow up knowing they can be whatever they want, maybe even extinct the human race.

      Just say he has magically magnetic regenerative powers which make him age “slower than a regular human”. Don’t specify any more.

      Done and done.

      Just like handsome Deadpool conveniently lacked regenerative powers.

        i have no real arguments against that,

        it just gives me the ick, that’s all. I just don’t like it.

        And now, like an idiot, came up with the idea of setting the X-Men in the early 90s. and now I really want that. and am. very sad that it won’t happen.

        My imagination hurt my feelings
