First Look At James McAvoy's New Appearance As Charles Xavier In X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

Bryan Singer's latest tweet from the set of X-Men: Days Of Future Past gives us our first look at James McAvoy as a very different Charles Xavier, likely taking place in the "past" sequences. Take a look after the jump.

So far, director Bryan Singer has given us behind-the-scenes shots of Patrick Stewart's Professor X, Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, Halle Berry's Storm, Shawn Ashmore's Iceman and Ellen Page's Kitty Pryde since X-Men: Days Of Future Past began filming. Now, he has tweeted a first look at James McAvoy's Charles Xavier from the set of the highly anticipated inbetweenquel. To say the least, Xavier looks very different in the following image. Given his appearance, it's safe to assume that he's currently filming the "past" scenes (set in 1973). What do you think of Xavier's new look?

Love the hair!

AshleyWilliams - 5/9/2013, 2:21 PM

That's.. different.

Brainiac13 - 5/9/2013, 2:21 PM

70's theme I presume! I loved the 1st 1.

Reasonnnn - 5/9/2013, 2:24 PM

PIMP!

DaenerysTargaryen - 5/9/2013, 2:24 PM

WTF? Thats not sexy. Bring back my sexy Xavier T_T

MarkCassidy - 5/9/2013, 2:25 PM

"WTF! Xavier is supposed to be bald and Singer gives him MORE hair!! Ugh. SMH. Kill Singer" etc etc

Ocelot - 5/9/2013, 2:26 PM

woah wasn't expecting him to look like that, all he needs now are hippy glasses

FlashhGordon27 - 5/9/2013, 2:27 PM

It's actually quite a cool look. I don't want xavier to go bald in the prequel films cause Mcavoy would look stupid as hell bald, I wouldn't de able to take him seriously

JatevinM - 5/9/2013, 2:28 PM

Honestly I wouldn't make Xavier going bald a plot point. Infact I wouldn't make him go bald until his 40s or 50s because honestly having a Bald 25-30 year old is dumb as hell.

Abary - 5/9/2013, 2:29 PM

Wow! That would be an awesome Dr. Strange!
As Professor X though: That is bad.

BlackPhillip - 5/9/2013, 2:29 PM

It's Charles the Junkie. Love it!

SeanMPC - 5/9/2013, 2:37 PM

I'm laughing my head off at it but honestly i like it, suits the 70s style...

TheOneAboveAll - 5/9/2013, 2:37 PM

Fancy

thebearjew - 5/9/2013, 2:40 PM

LOL
JatvineM my uncle went bald in his late teens man lol

Its perfectly realistic to go bald early its uncommon but possible
Plus i think it had to do with his mutant powers
Thats how you explain it

inkslinger616 - 5/9/2013, 2:40 PM

Right on!! Angry Viet Nam vet Prof. X!!

LucasMend - 5/9/2013, 2:40 PM

I love Ror's hate on the haters! :P

thenerdicon4 - 5/9/2013, 2:41 PM

God, why is Iron Man so jokey in those movies. He isn't that funny in the comic books. and Jeez look what they did to Pepper, she never dated Tony, she dated Happy Hogan....

StealthPWNAGE - 5/9/2013, 2:43 PM

He's either having a 70's theme party or he is in serious need of a makeover! :p

JoeInTheBox - 5/9/2013, 2:43 PM

Lieutenant Dan, you got new legs!

AmazingFantasy - 5/9/2013, 2:44 PM

Groovy

ndwwrestler2 - 5/9/2013, 2:47 PM

I get the feeling that Young Xavier meeting Old Xavier is going to be one of the funniest moments ever.

SuperSpiderMan5778 - 5/9/2013, 2:47 PM

groovy

TheIconicMan - 5/9/2013, 2:51 PM

That's.. Weird?

Spidey91 - 5/9/2013, 2:51 PM

Groovy (in Austin Powers's voice, not Ash's :P )

THIS - 5/9/2013, 2:51 PM

Very 70s!

Odin - 5/9/2013, 2:59 PM

The hairstyle is kinda of an opposite of what Xavier usually has.

jlabatman - 5/9/2013, 3:00 PM

Can u dig it? Jive turkeys!

SaxoWolf - 5/9/2013, 3:01 PM

Disco Charles!
