by: Average Joe

The second X-Men spinoff has found itself a director who knows the genre all too well.

Variety reports that writer/director David Goyer (Blade Trilogy, Batman Begins) will direct the X-Men spinoff Magneto for FOX.

Magneto will be the second X-Men spinoff to go into production, the first will be Wolverine which will return actor Hugh Jackman to his steel-clawed roots.

Goyer will direct the movie based on a Sheldon Turner script. No casting has been announced.
