James McAvoy Video Interview On Michael Fassbender, ‘X-Men: First Class’
James McAvoy’s breakthrough role came with 2007’s Atonement co-starring Keira Knightley, for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe in the Best Actor category. McAvoy, 33, followed that up with roles in Wanted, The Last Station, Gnomeo and Juliet and The Conspirator. But his big blockbuster role was as young Charles Xavier in X-Men: First Class. The actor faced the daunting task of portraying the character made popular by Sir Patrick Stewart in the previous X-Men movies. “I suppose I was nervous,” McAvoy told uInterview exclusively. “I didn’t really see myself as that type of figure and I certainly didn’t see myself as the same kind of actor as Sir Patrick Stewart, who did a fantastic job portraying him in the other three or four other movies because he’s in Wolverine as well.”
