Micheal Fassbender reveals hopes for sequel to X-Men: First Class
Sought after Shame actor Michael Fassbender who will be seen in the June release of Ridley Scott's Prometheus has opened up about his hopes for the X-Men: First Class sequel.
He tells IFC "You know what's interesting about Magneto and Professor X from the comic books as well, is there's such a complexity to their relationship, it's not just like clear-cut enemies; they're best friends as well. In the comic books, even after they've had this sort of rift, Professor X asks Magneto to come back and look after the students at certain points.
I think there's always that complexity in their relationship and we want to keep that alive as possible, because that's I think a really interesting thing - the conflict there."
Fassbender adds that he sympathizes with his character adding "I get where [Magneto] is coming from, that's for sure - having read the source material, the comic books. From what we know with human beings, history has told us that we're a pretty destructive race, so you can see where he's coming from.
It's always interesting for me to have the villains doing positive things as well as negative or destructive things, I just think it's more realistic."
A sequel to X-Men: First Class is likely and he previously said that he is "giddy" at the prospect.
Fassbender can currently be seen in Steven Soderbergh's espionage thriller Haywire and is gearing up to work with Steve McQueen again on the drama Twelve Years a Slave with his Inglourious Basterds co-star Brad Pitt.
