Batman Begins writer David Goyer was previously announced to helm the mutant superhero project that will reunite Sir Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart from the original trilogy.
However, X-Men Origins: Wolverine filmmaker Hood said that he would gladly take over the production, should that not come to pass.
He told MTV: "I think the character of Magneto is still a phenomenally interesting character. Absolutely, if I was asked I'd take an interest."
He added: "He's certainly a very interesting character - one rooted in childhood trauma and psychologically complex - and one that was superbly played by Ian McKellen.
"There are certain characters in the X-Men universe whose psychological life is strong and fascinating and complex. I think that's why they're appealing to audiences."
Hood recently revealed that filming on a sequel to Wolverine will not happen anytime soon.
