X-Men: First Class

Meanwhile, Aaron Johnson is rumoured to have been “locked” into the film for the role of Cyclops, even as interweb rumour spinners are linking the Brit star to the rebooted Spider-Man franchise. And Michael Fassbender is also currently contemplating whether or not to play Magneto.

With all these whispers and predictions flying around, things are clearly happening over at the X-Men hangar, and we couldn’t be happier – especially as British talent is clearly high on the list (thanks Matthew Vaughn!).
