So since the success of The Dark Knight many have wondered what that creative team is doing post Knight. Nolan hasn’t really said and is IMDB pages hasn’t been updated with anything, Jonanthan Nolan did some heavy script lifting with Terminator Salvation, so what is Goyer up too?

How about X-Men Origins: Magneto? This film first got the green light last April and at one point was scheduled to begin filming in January, however the writers strike got in the way and there hasn’t been any developments this year at all.

IGN caught up with The Dark Knight writer David Goyer at Comic-Con, who wrote the screenplay and has been attached to direct Magneto for a while.

“Magneto seems to be a movie that Fox still wants to make. They called me about it a couple of weeks ago, and I’m still working on Unborn through November, and so we said, when I finish Unborn, we’ll talk, and maybe we’ll get that going next year.”

Fox may be aiming to get Magneto out in 2010, as X-Men Origins: Wolverine will be out next May. Ian McKellen recently said he would be returning for ‘topping and tailing the story’ as the script requires a younger Magneto who is coming to grips with his metal manipulating powers as he and his parents try to survive in Auschwitz. He then meets Professor Xavier and starts hunting down and killing Nazi war criminals.

I am OK with this but they better get going with McKellan quickly because I am assuming his schedule will get tight with The Hobbit getting into its groove soon.
