James McAvoy as Professor Charles Xavier


James McAvoy will play the role of Professor X,
leader of the X-men in the reboot movie of the mutants entitled

X-men: First Class

This movie is the supposedly the continuation of the X-men Origins: Wolverine where Professor X saved the captured mutants. Emma Frost and Cyclops were the two.

X-men: First Class will focus on the first members of the X-men like Banshee, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Beast, Iceman etc. (Don't know yet if all of them will appear).

Where Charles Xavier and Eric Lensherr were young and still friends, helping each other and before they become Professor X of X-men and Magneto of Brotherhood.

For the past 3 movies, Patrick Stewart played the role of Professor X and now James McAvoy will take over to lead his own set of mutants. We will see if he is willing to be bald in the movie.

McAvoy also starred in "Wanted" with Angelina Jolie and also he became a half human-half goat in "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe".

The movie is set to be released in June 2011.
