Marvel fans are celebrating the latest X-Men<\/a> casting rumors, which suggest that Star Wars sequel trilogy standout Adam Driver will play a new incarnation of Magneto.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Famously played by Michael Fassbender and Ian McKellen (the latter of which will reprise the role one more time in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday), Magneto is a key member of the X-Men universe and a pivotal casting for Marvel to get right as it looks to a new generation of actors to take on the comics’ familiar characters.<\/p>\n

Discussion of Driver playing Magneto has been fuelled on social media by high profile Marvel tipster MyTimetoShineHello<\/a> and DC source ApcHorseman<\/a>, who was the first to correctly claim Scarlett Johansson had joined The Batman Part 2 and that Josh Brolin had been offered the role of Hal Jordan in Lanterns.<\/p>\n
