The X-Men reboot, X-Men: First Class (to be directed by Matthew Vaughn), has cast James McAvoy to play a young Charles Xavier. McAvoy's film credentials include Wanted, The Last King of Scotland and The Chronicles or Narnia. If you can imagine Patrick Stewart as a young man, it's not hard to picture James McAvoy. McAvoy is a solid actor, and I think this is setting the stage well for the X-Men reboot. Combine that with the semi-faithful adaptation of Matthew Vaugn's Kick-Ass, I think X-Men fans won't be disappointed. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Wolverine won't be in this film and that Cyclops will actually have a pair of balls!
