Ian McKellan
It looks like the Magneto movie may never be made according to producer Lauren Shuler Donner.
This comes just days after actor Ian McKellan believed he was too old for the role and Donner admitted that if the project did go ahead it probably be without the British actor.
In an interview with Empire Donner said: "David Goyer has written a brilliant script. It starts in the concentration camps and has Magneto coming out of there. But you know, I'm not sure that film is going to be made.
"The studio has a wealth of potential stories, and they have to stand back and decide which ones to make. And Magneto, I think, is at the back of the queue. Maybe it'll get made in five years - who knows?"
She talked about other X-Men projects including a second Wolverine film: "This movie will really focus on the relationship between Wolverine and Mariko, the daughter of a Japanese crime lord, and what happens to him in Japan."
X-Men Origins: Wolverine was released back in May and was box office hit giving the sequel the green light.
Also in the pipeline is a stand alone Deadpool movie.
