'Antony' tells us he got to chat with X-Men: The Last Stand visual effects supervisor John Bruno about both Magneto and Fantastic Four 2:

I didn't know if you were interested but I can confirm that Ian McKellen will be playing Magneto in the prequel. I was told this by John Bruno at a screening of X3. The company who worked on X3 to deage them is also going to be doing the Mags prequel. According to John, Ian is really excited.

I was lucky enough to spend nearly 2 hrs alone with him asking all sorts of stuff... by the way Silver Surfer is also in FF2.

So is there going to be a fourth one or just on one character? I want a fourth one!

No, the Magneto Prequel will not be set after "X3" it will be before he hooked up with Charles/maybe when he hooked up with Charles to start the School.

i think it would be interesting to see how magneto and xavier met and then formed the school. i already know how in the comics but they should do it as a movie.

Oh ok, thanks! I just hope they make a fourth one. That'd be awesome!
