Fassbender diving into political dynasty territory feels like a natural evolution for an actor who excels at complex characters. Meanwhile, Marvel fans can still get their Magneto fix with McKellen's return, which honestly sounds like the best of both worlds.
Interesting to see Fassbender trading comic book chaos for political drama - he's got the range to pull off that complicated Kennedy family energy. Between this and McKellen's Magneto return, it's cool seeing actors explore such different iconic roles.
