X-Men: Apocalypse - 10 Things That Will Definitely Happen
3. Magneto Will Be Retired At The Start Of The Film
Last time we saw Michael Fassbender's young Magneto he'd just held the President of the United States hostage in front of a live audience and threatened to assassinate him. Granted that President was Richard Nixon, so how much of a loss that would have been to history remains a mystery. Anyway, Magneto was foiled once more and Charles gave his old friend the courtesy of a clean escape. After previously spending ten years in a glass prison under the Pentagon, Erik would have to be pretty stupid to get straight back into a situation where he could be captured or killed, and so X-Men: Apocalypse sees him living out his days in the Polish countryside. Considering the film takes place ten years after his attack on The White House, it would seem that Magneto has been keeping his nose clean. Of course the peace is destined not to last. Speaking about where we find Magneto at the film's beginning, Fassbender has already said in interview that Hes fallen in love and hes basically left his metal ways behind. One of the first set photos posted by Singer from the shoot showed a lot of armed men, none of them carrying anything metal, advancing through a forest. It's likely then that Erik's idyllic quiet life won't last, especially as Fassbender adds that Apocalypse finds Erik at a low ebb and recruits him. Pity the poor soul who takes a loved one from the Master of Magnetism. Just look at Kevin Bacon's Sebastian Shaw from First Class.
