Asked about which superhero he wants to star as in the future, the Edward Cullen of the 'Twilight Saga' series unhesitatingly mentions the X-Men character.

Robert Pattinson professedly has his eyes on one particular X-Men character, Magneto. The leading man of the "Twilight Saga" series has, according to Comic Book Movie, uttered his interest on playing the powerful mutant, which ability is to generate and control electromagnetic forces, in a recent interview.

Presented with a question whether he has thought about taking a part as a superhero in the future, the 23-year-old responded, "Well yeah [laughs], I think everyone wonders about that sometimes." He went on to tell interviewer Frank Boyle, "My little cousin tells me I look like Magneto so I guess thats who I should probably play."

The Cedric Diggory of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is not the only "Twilight Saga" star who has eyes on superheroes. Co-star Kellan Lutz has told The Dish Rag he would love to star as Captain America someday. Jacob Black's depicter Taylor Lautner, in the meantime, has gone further by securing a role in teen superhero movie "Max Steel".

Robert Pattinson was recently seen in theaters across the U.S. in "The Twilight Saga's New Moon". In addition to "The Twilight Saga's Eclipse", the actor who is romantically linked to co-star Kristen Stewart has a number of future movie projects on his sleeves. One project in particular is romantic drama "Remember Me", wherein he plays a rebellious young man.
