Gavin Hood, who directed X-Men Origins: Wolverine wants to direct X-Men Origins: Magneto.

…against the wishes of people who paid to watch X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Hood has expressed interest in the next installment of the series, X-Men Origins: Magneto. Talking to MTV, Hood said, “Absolutely, if I was asked I’d take an interest.” He continued, “But the truth is I haven’t been asked, and I think that the studio right now is waiting to see how we do with the [X-Men Origins: Wolverine] DVDs, and who knows where we’ll all be if and when a [Wolverine 2] script is ready.” He goes on to talk about the psychological complexity of Magneto as a character.

I’m going to guess that the studio hasn’t asked him to jump on board for a reason. For one, they’ve got comic movie god, David Goyer on deck ready to take over the project. For those who have forgotten, Goyer was half responsible for the scripts of both Batman Beginsand The Dark Knight.

I really hope they don’t give it to Hood, I thought Wolverine was severely lacking. Magneto needs a better director attached, here’s hoping it’s better than the last film.
