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 She has been replaced by Joseph Middleton (“Donnie Darko”).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.

Recent casting news for James

James McAvoy has signed on to play a young Charles Xavier, aka Professor X, in “X-Men: First Class,” which Matthew Vaughn is directing for Fox.

According to Fox, “First Class” will “chart the epic beginning of the X-Men saga. Before Charles Xavier and Eric Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were the closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.”

Patrick Stewart played the character, a bald-headed, wheelchair-bound telepath, in the original “X-Men” trilogy. Fox did not reveal if McAvoy will sport a follicle-free pate.

Fox is moving fast on the production, hiring Vaughn in early May and planning a summer start in London. The movie is being planned for a June 3, 2011, release.

Bryan Singer, who conceived the story for “First Class,” is producing along with Lauren Shuler Donner and Simon Kinberg.

McAvoy, repped by UTA and Ruth Young/United Agents, already has comic book movie experience, having starred in “Wanted.” The British actor was last seen in “The Last Station.”
