He's the Juggernaut. Bitching, for sure. But given the fact that Wolverine and Magneto are getting their own spin-off features, what "X-Men 3” star Vinnie Jones really thinks would be wicked is his very own Juggernaut movie.

"That'd be fantastic. That's what all the fans want!" the burly former soccer star mock enthused. "Four hours of make-up. It's great!"

"No, when I [did] my deal they obviously signed me up for 'III', 'IV', and 'V' just in case," he continued more seriously. "Myself and my bank manager are just keeping our fingers crossed." Read more...

When you're ranked #30 on Maxim's "Hot 100” list, people want to talk to you. And by "you" I mean Rebecca Romijn and when I say "people," I'm referring to myself. At a swank party thrown by the men's magazine, I caught up with the erstwhile "X-Men" star to ask whether she's heard talk of her mutant alter-ego Mystique making an appearance in the franchise's two planned spin-offs, "Magneto" and "Wolverine." The answer to both films is no: "I hear the same rumors you hear," she says, "but nobody has come to me." For further clarification, watch the video below and gawk at her beauty and poise.

After marshalling just about every successful Marvel comic to the big screen, what's left for mega producer Avi Arad to get excited about? "Magneto," he enthused. "I love it!" While we first met the diabolical anti-hero (played with gusto by Ian McKellen) in "X-Men," and followed his mutant crusade through two sequels, it's in "Magneto" that the character will finally get the origin story he so richly deserves, Arad revealed.

"Think of meeting him in [the first "X-Men" movie] as a young boy in a concentration camp. What happens to his life after the war?" he teased of the film's plot. Arad quickly answered his own question, telling MTV News that the flick will follow Magneto discovering "if [his powers are] real or not and the whole journey of [his] survival as a young man."

Directed and co-written by "Batman Begins" scribe David Goyer, the prequel has all sorts "of opportunities for the kind of things that [will] make [it] interesting," Arad contended, including a look at his early friendship with and ultimate rift from Charles Xavier, the mutant who would later become the leader of the X-Men.

Given Magneto is already the head of the militant mutant organization known as The Brotherhood in the first film, will the prequel detail the steps he takes to form that alliance, perhaps highlighting such mutants as Sabertooth and Rebecca Romijn's Mystique? "[Some] amazing surprises that happen in his life [are in store]," Arad coyly answered.

While Arad searches for an actor to play the young Magneto, he can only hope the casting will match that of Robert Downey, Jr., who Arad says is a perfect fit to play Tony Stark/Iron Man. "I think he is Tony. He is cool, he is quick, he is sexy," Arad said in praise of his lead actor. "Tony Stark was this guy who could get away with anything. He had this dual life and you need an amazing actor to play this dual character without superpowers. You have to be two men with one heart."

"Iron Man" arrives in theaters next May, while "Magneto" aims for a 2009 release.
