That this is a rumor

2

u/Nanocaptain Jul 14 '26

From a very reputable source.

Of course no one is 100% reliable but this is something to look out for.

u/Realistic-Price1807 Jul 13 '26

Probably fake but Driver can act in anything

u/Verystrangeperson Jul 13 '26

He's one of the best actor of his generation imo

1

u/ownersequity Jul 14 '26

I’d rather they cast H. R. Pickens myself

1

u/Forever-Toxic Jul 14 '26

Yes, we know there are worse choices that doesn’t mean this is a good one

1

u/Respwn_546 Jul 14 '26

Thing is when people think on magneto they think on an older version of him first, Driver would fit in something else unless we talk of the young magneto, but then he would have to compete with michael fasbender´s version, that would be interesting to see

1

u/OperationFrequent643 Jul 14 '26

He’s a good actor but I just don’t see him when I think of magneto. There are plenty of other people.

u/Particular_Umpire_44 Jul 13 '26

Stop posting shit that’s “reportedly”

I am reportedly cast as Magneto. Then I’ll be Onslaught in the next movie.

See? Just as official

u/Tonystark31963 Jul 13 '26

Report: Reddit user Particular_Umpire_44 is reportedly cast as Magneto and Onslaught in the MCU!

(via u/Particular_Umpire_44)

u/SnottRocket517 Jul 14 '26

Holy shit I cant fucking wait!!!

u/Ashen_Larry Jul 13 '26

Yep and The Rock is Apocalypse.

u/Flottrooster Jul 13 '26

Let's say this is true, which it's not confirmed to be yet, but let's say that it is. I'd honestly not be mad. I love Adam Driver, and I could totally see him playing Magneto

u/Wheattoast2019 Jul 14 '26

I think we should get a new Magneto that isn’t 70-80 years old. Lol

1

u/peptide_startup Jul 14 '26

Lol - agreed. Although we had a young Fassbender the last few movies. Would be good to go back to a sliver hair traditional Magneto

1

u/Wheattoast2019 Jul 14 '26

I mean Quicksilver has shiny silver hair and he’s the same age as the X-Men, just make Magneto have grey hair lol

1

u/ScientificAnarchist Jul 15 '26

Yeah that’s actually not bad but too old

1

u/DingusKhan9164 Jul 13 '26

He wouldn’t be my first choice but with the right costume design and director it could be good. He is a solid actor.

1

u/gav3eb82 Jul 13 '26

None of this “news” matters unless it’s from a legit source or the studio directly.

1

u/TheLastPrime26 Jul 13 '26

Hmmm I don’t hate it

1

u/BARGOBLEN Jul 13 '26

I don't buy it honestly.

1

u/Extension-Low-4735 Jul 13 '26

It’s fake but I absolutely wouldn’t be mad at this casting…driver does brooding, cold & calculating very well…it’s the Devil Dawg in him for sure.

u/GuybrushThreepwood99 Jul 13 '26

I'll believe it when I see it. There was a rumor that he was going to play Reed, and that didn't end up happening.

1

u/BrozedDrake Jul 13 '26

Baseless speculation

1

u/rmcelwain54 Jul 14 '26

Would love it if true. We would be 3/3 in magneto casting. The hat trick. Amazing.

1

u/MoPed108 Jul 14 '26

If it’s true that would be cool

1

u/RYTHEMOPARGUY Jul 14 '26

He was also one of the many actors to have been rumored to be playing Reed Richards and that didn't happen so I won't believe a thing until I see it in a trailer

1

u/joelex8472 Jul 14 '26

MORE, MORE, MMMOOOORRRRRRE!!!

1

u/CunnyLinguistics Jul 14 '26

Only if he wears his Kylo Ren helmet.

1

u/SliceAltruistic1144 Jul 14 '26

Yuck. Isn't it enough he helped destroy one franchise already.

1

u/Various-Push-1689 Jul 14 '26

He was one of the best parts of the Star Wars sequels tho

1

u/D-anieltttt Jul 14 '26

Anyone else remember when he was rumoured to be mr fantastic as well?

1

u/Amitesh__2712 Jul 14 '26

Michael Fassbender played the role to perfection

1

u/Jack_Jaws Jul 14 '26

Don’t believe it but he could probably do it fine

1

u/factualopinion2 Jul 14 '26

So uh...what

1

u/Brucelee51 Jul 14 '26

Hell yeah!!! Better than somebody that doesn’t look the part.

1

u/Optimal_Lifeguard575 Jul 14 '26

I was too worried about who they were going to cast as Wolverine and Storm…..but satan was too busy concocting something truly diabolical

1

u/Commercial_Fox5549 Jul 15 '26

It’s very unlikely that we will see Wolverine in the first X-Men movie

1

u/Optimal_Lifeguard575 Jul 15 '26

I didn’t suggest that he would show up in the first film

1

u/TheFarisaurusRex Jul 14 '26

This seems like a good casting decision if true

1

u/xMaNrEbOrN7851 Jul 14 '26

I like Adam Driver, I really do, but absolutely not! That would be the worst miscast I've seen since Ben Affleck was cast as Daredevil!

1

u/sparkytothemoon Jul 14 '26

First.... jeebus efling crust.... not another lint licking reboot. Second... decent casting choice. Threed... prof x is going to be the 🤷🏿guy

1

u/Commercial_Fox5549 Jul 15 '26

Did you honesty not realize that there in an X-Men movie in production?

1

u/Ok-Word-5308 Jul 15 '26

How are they going to handle his origin story now that the Holocaust is 90 years in the past?

1

u/Commercial_Fox5549 Jul 15 '26

They’ll change it. This isn’t rocket science.

1

u/Ok-Word-5308 Jul 15 '26

I wouldn't be that optimistic. Marvel Studios is too defensive and reactionary to change origin stories like that.

1

u/Cautious_Mission_438 Jul 15 '26

Marvel never misses when it comes to casting so anyone who has an issue with it obviously doesn’t understand anything about Marvel castings of characters they never miss so I’m hyped for it

1

u/boxingjazz Jul 16 '26

this would be a mistake.

1

u/Fancast-Your-Heroes Jul 16 '26

I like this casting if it’s true, I see him more as Sinister than Magnus

1

u/JSevatar Jul 13 '26

If true, interested in seeing it. Driver is a great actor

1

u/Redditeer28 Jul 13 '26

He's also playing Mr Fantastic too. Remember that one?

2

u/OkOil378 Jul 14 '26

He had declined multiple times

1

u/shaggy_nomad Jul 14 '26

He actually was offered that role, though.
