Who's The Better Magneto Actor?

[The Whovian]

Ian McKellen



OR

Michael Fassbender

[The Whovian]

I like them both as actors and they both did a great job, but I'm voting for Fassbender. I just think he nailed the character of Magneto the best.

[ExodusCloak]

I preferred Fassbenders Kerry accent

[Midnighter]

Have to go with Fassbender.

[Anduinel]

Sarcastic grandpa Mags forever.

[Uncanny X-Man]

I voted for Fassbender as I really enjoy him as Magneto. I think McKellen is also a wonderful actor and quite liked his portrayal as well, but he plays Magneto with a bit of "femininity" which I don't think suits the character.

Ian McKellen



OR

Michael Fassbender

McKellin, only just they are both good.... McKellin just had a certain gravitas, a man comfortable with his power unbending.... for some unknown bias i cant unhear Fasbenders irish accent creaping through which breaks the moment.... yet i dont whinge about McKellins accent .. Must be that viice.

McKellen makes me pay attention to everything that he does and says while Fassbender is just bluh to me - I love him in a lot of things but his MagBender is like DC's Batfleck.

I like both actors because they are excellent in their acting. I particulary like Mckellen on The lord of the Rings as Gandalf . But as a Magneto fan I prefer Fassbender´s Magneto because he´s more similar to comics Magneto of course it helped that First Class wasn´t directed by Brian Singer but by Matthew Vaughn.

[Magneto]

Fassbender by far IMO. His speech in DOFP and his own vendetta in the first act of First Class are the best Magneto moments we've ever had.

[SpiderClops]

Well, damm. I think both actors are terrific, but I'm giving Fassbender an edge here.

[The Whovian]

So this poll was really close. As I expected. Both are great actors.
