A new concept design imagines James Bond actor Daniel Craig replacing Michael Fassbender as Magneto for Marvel Studios’ upcoming X-Men reboot.
Marvel Studios is about to kick-off Phase 4 with WandaVision early next year and it’s speculated that Scarlet Witch will finally be referred to as a mutant in the Disney Plus series. Now that Marvel Studios has the rights to the X-Men, it’s expected that we will slowly see them plant the seeds for their take on the mutants. With the X-Men franchise being rebooted for the first time, many are also speculating on who could take on the roles of Wolverine, Professor X, and Magneto. One fancast that appears to be emerging as a popular choice is James Bond actor Daniel Craig as Magneto.
Daniel Craig is about to wrap up his tenure as James Bond in No Time to Die, so the actor might find himself in another tentpole franchise. If Craig were to play Magneto, he would be joining some legendary company with Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender, with the latter giving off major James Bond vibes in X-Men: First Class. On Instagram, a new piece of concept design from digital artist SPDRMNKYXXVIII makes a pretty convincing case for Craig as the next Magneto for the inevitable X-Men reboot from Marvel Studios:
