UK actor Michael Fassbender ('Inglourious Basterds') has a tough decision to make -- play a villain in the upcoming "Spider-Man" reboot or play Magneto in the new "X-Men" film? Decisions, decisions, decisions ... well according to the Hollywood Reporter, 20th Century Fox has made it's first move to get Fassbender to ink a deal to play a young version of Magneto in "X-Men: First Class." So far, the studio and Fassbender have entered "early negotiations." This means if a deal is made, Columbia will look for someone else for their Spidey villain and Fassbender (as Erik Lensherr aka Magneto) would join James McAvoy (as Charles Xavier aka Professor X) in "First Class" which will be set in the early days of the X-Men saga when Magneto and Xavier were good friends. Here's the film's plot - Xavier and Lensherr are two powerful mutants who have joined forces to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known but in the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-Men. Matthew Vaughn ('Kick-Ass') is attached to direct while the film is gearing to start production soon. via heatvisionblog.com
He may be a movie star in his native Sweden but Alexander Skarsgard has taken his first step in Hollywood with Universal's sci-fi action film, "Battleship." Skarsgard, who's best known to American audiences as the vampire Eric Northman in HBO's hit "True Blood," will play Taylor Kitsch's brother in the film that is loosely based on the Hasbro game. Both actors play naval officers: Skarsgard is "straight and narrow," while Kitsch is "wildly and spirited." As they falls under attack by an otherworldly water-bound armada, their naval ship must join an international fleet in order to survive. "Hancock" director Peter Berg is helming the project as well as producing. via heatvisionblog.com
