Michael Fassbender has revealed that he just made up his accent for his role as Magneto in X-Men: First Class.

Fassbender returned to the big screen last week in the Matthew Vaughn directed movie - which was an origins story to the X-Men movies.

Speaking to IGN the actor said: "I'm kind of using my own accent and taking out as much Irish-ness as I can.

"People always say that I sound anything but Irish, most people say to me Canadian."

"But what do you do with the accent? Because he's not English and he didn't really have any sort of history in England.

"But I think he is well-educated so I'm just trying to play a more neutral version of my own accent."

X-Men: First Class has ended the reign of The Hangover - Part II at both the U.S. and UK box office and has taken $124 million worldwide in it's opening weekend.
