The Dark Knight scribe David Goyer has given a quick update on the status of the Magneto origin movie to MTV News.

"They're still thinking of doing it," he explained. "They're definitely looking into doing other X-Men spinoffs."

Indeed Goyer seemed confident the project would see progress in the near future. "I've been in touch [with the studio]. I'm sure that project will move forward in the next year or so."

There's been buzz around this movie for years, with a concentration camp-set plot rumoured, along with the possible involvement of X-Men director Bryan Singer.

Other mutant movies currently in the works include a sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, X-Men: First Class, and a Deadpool spin-off.
