If Twilight hottie Robert Pattinson could star in a superhero movie – he’d choose the role of a villain.

The British actor was asked by Frank Boyle which superhero he would see himself playing, RPattz explained that he’d actually opt for Marvel baddie Magneto.

“I think everyone wonders about that sometimes. My little cousin tells me I look like Magneto, so I guess that’s who I should probably play.” Rob said.

There could be good news for the New Moon star – Marvel are actually planning a movie, titled ‘X-Men Origins: Magneto’, due for release in 2013.
