RUMOR: McTeigue Taking on Magneto

IMDB lists James McTeigue (V for Vendetta) as "in talks" to direct the movie from a script by David Goyer (Batman Begins) who was unable to direct due to his commitment to his The Invisible Man.

While Magneto has been the ugly step-child of the X-sequels, going from hot to "on hold" then seemingly being dropped in favor of teen oriented X-Men First Class. But now with the tremendous box office success of "Wolverine" all X-projects look to have been given the green light, and this includes X-Men Origins: Magneto.

20th Century Fox is now working on at least four X-movies: a Deadpool movie, a Wolverine sequel, X-Men trilogy prequel (X-Men: First Class), and X-Men Origins: Magneto.

X-Men Origins: Magneto will expand on Magneto's concentration camp beginnings, shown briefly in X-Men, and his fractious relationship with Charles Xavier. Producer Lauren Shuler Donner has called the script "fantastic."
