Magneto Movie Greenlit

This should be an interesting movie for the most part.

Per the trades, the film will be an origin story, showing the powerful
mutant in his early days when he was still friends with a young Charles Xavier,
played in the films by
Patrick Stewart. The movie will reportedly show Magneto coming to grips with his metallic-attracting powers while living in Auschwitz with his parents, and his subsequent quest for vengeance against both his Nazi captors and anti-mutant factions.
So we will get a little WW2 movie mixed with the early life of the X-men bad guy. This would be a perfect spring board for a Captain America movie if Marvel didn't kill him off. I would have had Captain America in WW2 garb as one of the unit that liberated Auschwitz. Or maybe just a mention in the WW2 part of the movie would suffice.
