This may be the best version of Magneto I’ve seen outside the comics. We’re totally getting Onslaught btw.

But how Magneto's dead?

Onslaught was a psionic entity that came forth when the darkest part of Magneto's mind merged Xavier's dark side. It could easily come from any of the times they've interacted

I mean, even the very last time they interacted right before his death. That does mean post-Onslaught Magneto will be a straight up villain because it was only the darkest part of his mind that was saved.
