Recent casting news is that Michael Fassbender will officially be joining James McAvoy in X-Men: First Class

Michael Fassbender is officially on board to play bad guy Magneto in “X-Men: First Class” (Showbiz 411 broke the story).

Fassbender was being courted for villain roles in Fox’s relaunch of the “X-Men” franchise, directed by Matthew Vaughn, and Columbia’s relaunch of “Spider-Man.” He entered talks with Fox two weeks ago.

Fassbender will join James McAvoy, who is playing Professor Xavier in the pic, which focuses on Marvel’s superpowered team X-Men in a younger incarnation than the previous trilogy.

While deals for Fassbender and McAvoy are done, the fate of other mutants may be up in the air. Fox had been in full-blown casting mode as it geared up for an August start in London, but earlier this week casting director Mindy Marin — whose credits run from “L.A. Story” to “The Book of Eli” — left the project. She has been replaced by Joseph Middleton (“Donnie Darko”).

Fassbender’s big Hollywood break came with a key turn in “Inglourious Basterds,” in which he played Canadian spy Archie Hicox. The actor, repped by CAA and Troika in the U.K., stars in Neil Marshall’s Roman action movie “Centurion,” which opens in August.

Congrats to James McAvoy and Anne Marie Duff who announced yesterday that she was pregnant.

The 30-year-old actor spoke out at the London premiere of his latest film, The Last Station, which also stars wife Anne-Marie Duff and Dame Helen Mirren.

“It’s excellent, it feels really great. I’m totally looking forward to being a dad. She looks fantastic. It’s a Mc-Duff adventure,” he said.

Duff, nine years his senior, looked radiant in a black floor-length Escada pleated gown, which hid her bump at the Curzon Mayfair.

Co-star Mirren, who wowed in a purple Lindka Cierach dress, told of her excitement for the couple.

“I’m pleased, it’s fantastic. It’s wonderful news and it couldn’t happen to a greater couple,” she said.

“I’ve known Anne-Marie for a long time, long before I knew James. They’re a great, great couple, both unbelievably talented, both extremely nice and hard-working and professional, so it’s going to be a great baby.”

The film’s director Michael Hoffman joined in with the congratulations.

“I’m ecstatic – I’ve known about this for a while and I’ve been sworn to secrecy,” he said.
