Celebrating X-Men Films And Beyond

Michael Fassbender on his X-Men: First Class experience and a possible sequel.

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS star Michael Fassbender (Magneto) tells MTV that his experience filming the mutant prequel was both “very rewarding” and “a trying time.” The cast and crew had a pretty short gateway of time to bring the film in for its scheduled June 3, 2011 release date.

Fassbender has nothing but praise for director Matthew Vaughn, who pulled everything together exceptionally well. “He’s great because he makes films as a fan.” he says. “There’s something like a nine-year-old boy in him when he’s making a film. He’s very much into characters and allowing the characters to drive the plot and the plot to drive the action film, as opposed to action driving the film and threading in some sort of a plot.”

The actor says that he has high hopes to return for a potential sequel. “It was a very rewarding experience, so hopefully we’ll get the same team back again.”
