"Magneto has a whole lot of complexity to him. Emotionally, he's coming from a very damaged place. I like the ambivalence of it. I want the audience leaving the theater wondering, asking the questions themselves rather than being spoon-fed like a lot of these super-villain characters"

- Michael Fassbender

About this Quote

Michael Fassbender's quote talks to the complexity of the character Magneto in the X-Men franchise. He is coming from a place of psychological damage, which Fassbender discovers intriguing and compelling. He desires the audience to be entrusted questions and to believe on their own, instead of being provided all the answers. This is a rejuvenating approach to the normal super-villain character, as it permits the audience to draw their own conclusions and form their own opinions. Fassbender's quote speaks with the importance of creating a character that is multi-dimensional and has a backstory that is explored and understood. It is this intricacy that makes Magneto an intriguing and engaging character, and one that audiences can associate with and have compassion with.
