Ben Whishaw as the young Magneto?

There's a bit of a debate going on over on comicbookmovie.com about the remaining cast for X-Men: First Class.

James McAvoy was recently announced as playing a young Professor X which leaves the young Magneto. Names that have been thrown into the arena include Charlie Cox of Stardust fame and yes, fav thesp of mine Ben Whishaw. Whether this is just fan wishful thinking or a genuine consideration may never be known. But, I actually quite like the idea of Whishaw playing the baddie in a comic book movie.

I've commented recently how I'd like to see him play comic or baddie and a role like this I think would tap into his fun side you read about interviews.

So I'll add my call: Ben Whishaw for Magneto please!
