Michael Fassbender on Magneto’s complex relationship with Charles in potential X-Men sequels.

IFC recently caught up with X-MEN: FIRST CLASS star Michael Fassbender, who briefly spoke about exploring the complex relationship between Erik Lensherr and James McAvoy’s Charles Xavier in future sequels.

“You know what’s interesting about Magneto and Professor X from the comic books as well, is there’s such a complexity to their relationship,” he explained. “It’s not just like clear-cut enemies; they’re best friends as well. In the comic books, even after they’ve had this sort of rift, Professor X asks Magneto to come back and look after the students at certain points.”

“I think there’s always that complexity in their relationship,” he said. “And we want to keep that alive as possible, because that’s I think a really interesting thing — the conflict there.”
