10 Action Movies Starring the 'X-Men: Apocalypse' Cast5 of 10
Michael Fassbender, Burke, Jonah Hex (2010)
Michael Fassbender now has two Oscar nominations (12 Years a Slave, Steve Jobs) and dozens of major roles in his filmography, but he's only been acting in films for 10 years, with his first movie credit as a Spartan in Zack Snyder's 300 in 2006.
Like his X-Men character, Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto, Fassbender can easily switch back and forth from hero to villain. In 2010's Jonah Hex, Fassbender was squarely on the villain side. Josh Brolin played the title DC Comics character in the sci-fi Western story set during the U.S. Civil War. Fassbender played Burke, the psychopathic right-hand man of John Malkovich's villainous Turnbull. Fassbender told ScreenCrave he found a bowler hat for his character and decided, "I’m going to go along that vein and do Clockwork Orange meets Frank Gorshin, 1970′s Riddler with a Carrey accent."
