Days of Future Past The Official James McAvoy/Professor Xavier Thread

Oh my God. First Class has the 2 sexiest leads in the history of the X-films.

....hmm.

 

[JP]

Hugh and Halle don't come close.

I'm happy with McAvoy's casting. It shows their using the Batman model, and casting good Actors. And with Brian Singer producing, and Mathew Vaughn directing...I feel good about the future of X-men for the first time since Brian left.

But, aren't you biased?

I have no idea who this James McAvoy is, but hopefully he will be a good replacement for Patrick Stewart. Ooops! Before finishing my post I did a Wikipedia search, I have seen him as Mr. Tumnus in Narnia! Other than that....i've seen nothing of his.

He was in comic book adaptation Wanted, among other things.

I have yet to see Wanted....

It's not exactly a must-see movie...I guess, other than for Morgan Freeman near the end..

Amazing! He's adorable.
(and you so didn't need to censor yourself out of the picture! )

Ahhh...James' face is the one that matters! t:
(I use the same picture in my Facebook profile...I just didn't want to post a gigantic version of my face here! )
James was übber adorable with the fans...he came at the stage door every night to sign autographs, and always asked if he was forgetting someone. There are a lot of youtube videos that are worth checking - it's hard not to fall in love with him!
And the play was great, as was his performance; he was nominated for an Olivier (kind of a Tony in the UK) award for it.

I saw James on The Daily Show when he was promoting Wanted, and he was going on about going to a Yankee game. Loved it.

Haha, yes, he talked about eating a lot of food at the stadium, that it was like a picnic...and Jon's "do you smoke crack?" at the end was hilarious!

I loved him in Chronicles of Narnia - that's been one of my favorite books since I was about 8, and he was a perfect Mr. Tumnus.

It's funny because I've never heard of James when I saw Narnia, but from the moment he showed up in the film he caught my attention. Two years later I was watching a film on tv and I was like "Who's this amazing actor? Damn, he's brilliant!" It was "Inside I'm Dancing". and I had no idea the main actor was Mr. Tumnus! t:

Loved it. It was really intense. They played Chicago cops recounting a bunch of massive screwups that led to the death of a young boy, among other things.

It was also fun to watch Hugh drop a impressive number of f-bombs in just 90 minutes.

Sounds great! And I love when Hugh gets mad...no wonder he's a great Wolverine!

I never knew that Xaiver was so hot

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

anyone else think that McAvoy seems too young to play Xavier?

i would have thought they would pick someone in ther late 30s - early 40s considering that in the last X-Men films he was around 50-60

this film will most likely take place 15-20 years before the event in those films

i wonder if they will ignore cetain events of those films and Wolverine: Origins

and will Xavier be walking in this film or in a wheel chair?

damn you Fox!!

 

[FaT_tONle]

The troubling thing with the casting as a whole is that Xavier is supposed to be a father figure to these kids... not an older brother. The guy is too young to be a middle aged man with teenage kids. Look at the scene in X-3. Eric/Charles were easily in their 40's... and Jean was a kid... 11-12 years old? How can you cast someone 19-20 for Jean? There is only so much makeup you can use to make McAvoy look 50. It's not believable. I won't care one bit if this turns into separate continuity, but they need to come out and say that.

 

[JP]

Yes, because Xavier was in his 50's when he met Erik in the 1960's

Why is Fassbender perfect for Magneto, yet McCoy is wrong for Xavier? They're the same damn age.

I don't even think you understood the post...

I don't think you understand the story.

I don't think you understand the story.

What don't I understand about it? You don't think I realize this is a Magneto/Xavier movie? I am saying you can't add a 20 year old Cyke/Jean Grey unless they add about twenty years to McAvoy. Not easy to do convincingly.
