James McAvoy Talks X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST; "Spoke Too Soon" About Alan Cumming

In a humorous video interview, X-Men: Days of Future Past star James McAvoy talks about being fitted for 70s style clothes for the sequel, his mistake about Alan Cumming returning as Nightcrawler and when exactly he actually begins work on the X-Men: First Class follow-up.

Talking to Empire Online to promote the release of Danny Boyle's Trance, James McAvoy has talked more about returning as Professor Charles Xavier in X-Men: Days of Future Past. While he doesn't reveal too much about Bryan Singer's highly anticipated X-Men: First Class sequel, it makes for a pretty fun watch, and the Scottish actor does let slip that he has already been fitted for some outfits appropriate to the era that the movie is set in and that he begins shooting as soon as his stint doing Macbeth on stage comes to an end. McAvoy also clears up his earlier - and apparently incorrect - claims that Alan Cumming will return for X-Men: Days of Future Past as Nightcrawler.

STARRING:

James McAvoy as Charles Xavier
Michael Fassbender as Magneto
Nicholas Hoult as Beast
Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique
Hugh Jackman as Wolverine
Patrick Stewart as Professor Charles Xavier
Ian McKellen as Magneto
Shawn Ashmore as Iceman
Anna Paquin as Rogue
Ellen Page as Kitty Pryde

RELEASE DATE: July 17th, 2014.

	TheGambitFreakIsBatmanOfCBM - 3/20/2013, 10:13 AM Login to report abuse No offense, but that casting consideration above sucks dick.
	theSHOCKER - 3/20/2013, 10:15 AM Login to report abuse I'm going to take it one good comic book movie at a time. Things can only go up from here.
	DrDoom - 3/20/2013, 10:23 AM Login to report abuse It's not that I necessarily just 'hate' a film before it's released.... there's more to it than that. I consider the variables and make judgments based on them. 1) Fox has yet to release a 'great' X-Men film. 2) Bryan Singer's X-Men films are still overrated by some fans, and his work on Superman Returns was atrocious. 3) This movie is a knee jerk reaction to the success of The Avengers, not something that had been meticulously planned for six years. 4) This movie easily has almost three times the cast size of the Avengers. 5) The amount of 'good' actors in the film is relatively low compared to how many important characters that are being portrayed. Overall, this film has a huge chance of collapsing under its own weight.
	Theodora - 3/20/2013, 10:25 AM Login to report abuse yous all aim far far far too high when fancasting. Angelina Jolie, i mean seriously?
	jimoakley666 - 3/20/2013, 10:33 AM Login to report abuse I think the way to show Famke as the Phoenix is to have her naked and glowing white on her body where a costume would sit and have the Phoenix 'logo' flaming in a golden fire from her chest and her hair like red flames. That'd look bloody cool.
	RidiculousFanBoyDemands - 3/20/2013, 10:34 AM Login to report abuse Nicloe Kidman and Angelina Jolie are both well past their primes in the looks department.
	eddywilliams - 3/20/2013, 10:35 AM Login to report abuse YES !!! Charlize as Emma Frost / the White Queen Bring Tyler Mane as Sabretooth Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler Vinnie Jones as Juggernaut Famke Janssen and James Marsden Phoenix is so immortal she always comes and becoming stronger in every her rise !!! she can make Cyclops alive again remember that !!!!! and they meet Emma frost so Cyclops + Emma + White Phoenix of the Crown meet Apocalypse Sinister Exodus and Holocaust, they must fight for Battle Earth !
	FalafelVsShawarma - 3/20/2013, 10:49 AM Login to report abuse i gotta feeling that most of the X-Mens from the first trilogy appear only to be killed in the first act...
	Glacier - 3/20/2013, 10:57 AM Login to report abuse Most people whole the world well X-men Fans and non - X-men Fans have been waiting very long time for Famke Janssen for reprising to return her in XDOFP, she can do reincarnated again as White Phoenix of the Crown it's a new characters for her, it's very awesome introducing White Phoenix of the Crown, it's very awesome for end part in XDOFP White Phoenix of the Crown Versus Apocalypse. and Now Famke Janssen in Hemlock Grove ( TV series ) and The Being Experience Agree Angelina Jolie as Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch Interview the both Famke and Angelina are excellent for XDOFP
	sephiroth211 - 3/20/2013, 10:59 AM Login to report abuse Yea, you and FIRG were posted up in the back bar. I couldn't get over the cataract in Gusto's right eye, but it seemed to go over well with the bar crowd. You silly bastards you.

	SlaveMasterFlexXx - 3/20/2013, 1:39 PM Login to report abuse With the exception of Colossus who with prolly be snubbed again their are zero characters in this I want to see. Where's? Nightcrawler(Alan Cummings)? Beast(Kelsey Grammar)? Azazel? Havok? Emma Frost(Charlize Theron)? I do like that fan cast Cyclops? Jean ? Deadpool? Gambit? Bishop? Victor Creed/Sabretooth(Liev Schriber)? Domino? Juggernaut? Apocalypse/Sinister? ArcAngel? X-23? Cable? Just saying zero characters I've been waiting to see. Colossus better have a real role. Sorry I don't know how to post pics.
	SlaveMasterFlexXx - 3/20/2013, 1:40 PM Login to report abuse Also James Purefoy(Resident Evil, The Following) for Alternate Wolverine in Age of Apocalypse.
	supes77 - 3/20/2013, 2:33 PM Login to report abuse you know what is always overlooked about Xmen 3. Kelsey Grammar as Beast! He was awesome, he makes me re-watch X3 from time to time. The perfect voice and characteristics!
	SlaveMasterFlexXx - 3/20/2013, 2:37 PM Login to report abuse Oh shit and how could I forget where the f is Lorna, Pietro, & Wanda? You think a prebiotic trilogy would be the perfect place to introduce Magnetos kids.
	ManOfSteel99 - 3/20/2013, 5:46 PM Login to report abuse @LEVITIKUZ I agree we need BEAST!!!! NO NO NO, NO KITTY IN MA HOUSE!!!!
	ManOfSteel99 - 3/20/2013, 5:49 PM Login to report abuse @DrDoom I agree X-Men movies aren't that good. First Class was the first one I was actually excited about, but then oops I went in with too high expectations. Such a let down.
