It looks like Michael Fassbender's supervillain Sophie's Choice might be easier than expected. While he's still presumably on the shortlist to play the villain in Sony's Spider-Man reboot, the German-born actor has been officially offered the role of Magneto in Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class over at Twentieth Century Fox. If he accepts, Fassbender -- next seen slicing throats in Centurion -- would star alongside the previously announced James McAvoy, who plays Professor X in the film scheduled for release next summer. Marvel fatigue or not, that does sound pretty OK, right? [Deadline]
