Fox’s long gestating Magneto solo movie has a plot synopsis. Or at least it seems to. A site called CoventryTelegraph.net has it, and they claim to have gotten it from the latest issue of Production Weekly. Unfortunately I have the latest issue of Production Weekly, and there is no mention of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Nor is there any mention of it in the previous issue.

So for the moment, where they got this synopsis remains a mystery. Keep that in mind as you read it, because here it is:

“The original X-Men film began with a prologue that showed the character as a child being led to a concentration camp by Nazis and that is the period in which the Magneto film will take place. This setup will allow a future villain to at least flirt with the designation of protagonist since the character will be seen almost exclusively in his formative years. The storyline will heavily involve Professor X, the wheelchair-using X-Men leader. That character was a soldier in the allied force that liberated the concentration camps. The professor meets Magneto after the war and while they bond over the realisation that they are alike in their special powers, their differences soon turn them into enemies.”
