James McAvoy to play a young Professor X
With the release date for X-Men First Class still set for June 3, 2011 names have started to surface for the cast.
James McAvoy (Wanted, Atonement) has been tapped to play Charles Xavier pre-Professor X, which looks to be a great choice from where I’m sitting.
And Aaron Johnson (Kick-Ass, The Illusionist) seems set to play the part of Erik Magnus Lensherr before the days of Magneto.
With the story centering on the early years and relationship of these two characters you can expect to see a lot of them on the screen together.
Also, I smiled big time when I saw that Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass) is on the writing team for X-Men First Class. She’s pretty awesome. Check her out.
Keep coming back for more info as I can find it!
