Michael Fassbender recently discussed in an interview whether he would play Magneto again in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). And, his answer to this question was not clear. He could not tell his fans whether he has thought about it or not, but at the same time he also said that he is always ready. This is special because Fassbender’s portrayal of Magneto was very strong and memorable, due to which the audience would want to see him in this character again.
Fassbender’s performance as Magneto, which included both his emotional ups and downs and the use of powers, was very impressive. This character gave him a chance to prove his acting skills in a new way. And when the MCU’s X-Men films are made, many people expect him to play the role of Magneto once again. However, Fassbender has not yet made any clear promise on this.
He knows that the character of Magneto was very important in the X-Men franchise. Two actors have played this character very well – first Ian McKellen and then Michael Fassbender. And whenever he thinks about it, he realizes that this role has a lot of responsibility. Fassbender said that it was a big step for him after Ian McKellen. He says, “The opportunity I got as Magneto would be a matter of good fortune for any actor.”

But still, despite all this, he is no longer completely attached to this character. He has a priority to spend time with his family. Especially he has two little boys, and he wants to be with them. This is the reason why he is currently turning his career in some other direction. He has focused on his new detective series “The Agency”. Despite this, he believes that he would be open to playing Magneto again whenever the opportunity arises.
In the interview, Fassbender talked about how he is a big fan of Deadpool and Wolverine, and in particular, he idolized Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool. He says, “Deadpool is a really great character, and the way Ryan has portrayed it is commendable.” Not only this, he also loves working with Hugh Jackman. For him, Hugh is not only a great actor, but also a wonderful human being.
Fassbender also says that his life priorities have changed. Now he wants to give more time to his personal life and family instead of films. But, despite all this, he says, “I never feel that I can say ‘no’ to anything.” This is probably because he is always ready to do something new, especially when he sees himself in a challenging role.
If we talk about why the character of Magneto is special for Fassbender, it is not just because of his powerful personality. In fact, this character is deep both mentally and emotionally. Fassbender played Magneto in a way that represents the struggles, tragedy and inner strength within a person. Magneto’s complexity in the film made him a character that required not just action, but also deep thinking and acting. This was the reason why this character made a special place in the hearts of the audience.

Right now, it is not clear for Fassbender when he will return as Magneto in the MCU. But there is a sign that he will always be ready, as he believes that a lot can be learned from films and characters. Also, family and personal life are also very important to him. Perhaps in the future, when the time is right, he can be seen in this character again, but for now he is focusing on his spy series “The Agency”.
It’s hard to say what the future holds, but one thing is for sure: Fassbender’s portrayal of Magneto will always be in people’s minds. Whether he plays the character again or not, his performance has left a mark.
Fassbender’s statement that “you can never say never” shows that he doesn’t want to miss out on any opportunities, and if the opportunity comes up in the future, he’ll take it.
