Days Of Future Past Scene Michael Fassbender Regrets Filming
Covering a Toronto International Film Festival Q&A with Fassbender and TIFF artistic director Cameron Bailey in 2016, Vulture reported how the actor admitted distaste for a certain scene in "X-Men: Days of Future Past." In it, a volatile Magneto forces a private plane he, Charles, and Wolverine are riding in into peril as Hank struggles with the controls. A clip of the scene was shown during the TIFF Q&A, and Vulture said Fassbender "started cringing and rubbing his face with embarrassment" while it was running.
"I don't actually like that performance there, to be honest ... I just think it's me shouting. It's just like, 'some dude shouting,'" Fassbender told Bailey as he "made an angry face and flailed his arms around," Vulture reported.
Making light of the situation, Bailey told Fassbender, "Too late now!" According to Vulture, Fassbender was "laughing and burying his head in his hands" responding to Bailey's comment, adding, "Tell me about it."
Even though Fassbender didn't like how part of his "Days of Future Past" performance turned out, he returned to the role of Magneto for "X-Men: Apocalypse" in 2016, and "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" in 2019.
