And just when you thought I couldn’t work any more ‘M’ words into the title, I’m going to throw another in there… because the Magneto movie has been ‘officially’ confirmed.

Slated for a 2009 release, Magneto is looking to be the first of the ’spin-off’ series to come from the X-Men films (whether or not this means we’ll be missing out on the rumoured X-Men 4 or not, its anyone’s guess).

From the blurb;

“In a storyline hinted at by the original “X-Men” films, Magneto comes to grips with his mutant ability to manipulate metal objects as he and his parents try to survive in Auschwitz. Magneto meets Professor Xavier (played as the wheelchair-bound mutant leader by Patrick Stewart) when the latter is a soldier liberating the concentration camp.”

Sounds more like its going to be a prequel/biography, but definitely has potential.

In other Marvel news, another shot has emerged from the upcoming Iron Man release.

I can see Iron Man being blockbuster awesome…
