"X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner has revealed that a film based on Magneto may never be made. When quizzed about the future of the X-Men franchise Donner also admitted that, should the movie ever go ahead, Sir Ian McKellen would not play the role of the villain throughout the origin story. She told Empire: &amp;quot;David Goyer has written a brilliant script. It starts in the concentration camps and has Magneto coming out of there. But you know, I&amp;#039;m not sure that film is going to be made. &amp;quot;The studio has a wealth of potential stories, and they have to stand back and decide which ones to make. And Magneto, I think, is at the back of the queue. Maybe it&amp;#039;ll get made in five years - who knows?&amp;quot; Discussing Deadpool, starring Ryan Reynolds, Donner said that she hoped to announce a writer for the project by November. She teased the X-Men: First Class film, being written by Josh Schwartz, is to be similar in tone to the recent, &amp;quot;darker&amp;quot; Harry Potter movies but revealed the project furthest along was Wolverine 2. &amp;quot;This movie will really focus on the relationship between Wolverine and Mariko, the daughter of a Japanese crime lord, and what happens to him in Japan,&amp;quot; she said of the Chris McQuarrie-penned film. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is out on DVD and Blu-ray tomorrow. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
