Fassbender said, “Well, you know, I loved working with Hugh. You know, he’s an absolute gentleman; he’s so talented. I’m a big fan of Ryan and what he’s done with the Deadpool series.”
As per the outlet, Fassbender also highlighted his love for Deadpool and asserted that despite being busy with The Agency currently, he is “always open to things.” Moreover, the actor stated his views on balancing work and life but left fans with a tease regarding his future as Magneto. He added, “I’ve got two little boys. I want to be available to them and be around. So right now, my focus and energy is really going to be on The Agency, but you never say never.”
After the mammoth success of Deadpool & Wolverine and Wolverine’s appearance in the MCU, superhero fans are eager to see more X-Men enter the universe.
