‘X-Men’ Rumor: Daniel Day-Lewis Eyed To Play The MCU’s Magneto

Is Daniel Day-Lewis officially joining the MCU? The Oscar-winning actor is reportedly a frontrunner for Marvel to play Magneto in the X-Men reboot.

The rumor, from Hollywood insider MyTimeToShineHello, reveals that the studio is eyeing Daniel Day-Lewis to play Magneto in the X-Men reboot. This comes after the actor announced his return to acting after an eight-year retirement, suggesting that Marvel hopes to snap him up for the MCU before he makes any other major commitments. Even if casting for the X-Men reboot isn’t starting in earnest, the studio likely wouldn’t want to wait for another franchise to try to snap up the actor, especially in the modern age of Hollywood.
