James McAvoy: superhero! Though I never thought I’d see the day, I’m excited to report that McAvoy has been cast in X-Men: First Class as a young Charles Xavier!
The Scottish thespian will play the man who will become Professor X (you know, prebaldness, pre-Magneto battling) in the prequel, which Matthew Vaughn will direct.

I know I haven’t posted any recent updates, but I’ve been catching up on my McAvoy movies. I’ve found a channel on youtube that actually has quite a bit of the early part of James Career. I have most of james filmography, but could never get my hands on his early days so I thought I would share with you on what I found if you too haven’t catched up on your James McAvoy early days.

James McAvoy takes acting break to deal with fatherhood

JAMES McAvoy is getting his roof fixed.

“That really, really superstar-y, film star s—,” he says.

The sweary Scottish actor – “My imagination is badly-fuelled and I seem to be swearing instead of searching my vocabulary” – has more than just a dull off-screen life to explain his roof-fixing.

He and his wife, fellow actor Anne-Marie Duff, are expecting their first child.

“We were sitting here in the rain happily dealing with it, and with the kid on the way we thought we better stop being wet-headed,” McAvoy cracks.

McAvoy, 30, was to be jetting off right about now to Canada to make I’m With Cancer, a dramedy he was co-headlining with Seth Rogen.

But with the birth on the horizon, McAvoy has pulled out. It’s not the first time McAvoy has chosen real life over Hollywood. Look at his resume – for a popular, well-regarded actor, he’s squeezed in just one film a year since Atonement in 2007.

There’s been a bit of theatre in that time, he argues, but it’s also a case of “just wanting to take it easy”.

“There was a time a couple of years ago where the next like four years of my life was planned, and I just went, ‘Woah-ho! Stop stop stop stop stop’,” he explains.

“I went, ‘F— it I’m gonna go and do a play and do no films for a little while’. My life was getting planned for me, and that was a bit annoying.”

He was worried too, especially after doing the big-bang action flick Wanted, that he might get stuck on a Hollywood rollercoaster.

“And it wouldn’t have even been as fun as a rollercoaster,” McAvoy says.

Jolie shoots down Wanted sequel

Marcie — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 10:02:39 +0000

The Hollywood beauty starred as a deadly assassin in the first film, alongside Scottish actor James McAvoy, who recently revealed producers have been working on plans for a sequel.

Jolie wasn’t expected to return for a second film as her character appeared to die at the end of the original movie, but new reports suggest the actress was wanted for the follow-up and her decision not to take part has forced producers to scrap the project altogether.

According to New York Magazine’s Vulture movie blog, bosses at Universal would rather cancel the sequel than recast Jolie’s character.

Jolie is said to have turned down the project to star in Alfonso Cuaron’s new space thriller Gravity, about the lone survivor of a space mission who is desperate to return to Earth to see her daughter.
