James McAvoy in X-Men: First Class
James McAvoy has been cast to play the leader of the X-Men pack in the upcoming installment of the superhero franchise.
Good choice? Yeah, why not, McAvoy definitely has all experience in the world when it comes to comic book characters.
So, get ready McAvoy, because he will play Charles Xavier, who ultimately became the recognized leader of the mutant group X-Men as Professor X!
Let’s remind the official synopsis: “X-men: First Class, following the classic Marvel mythology, charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga.
Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time.
Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.”

Mark Millar Talks About “Wanted 2″
With “Wanted” being a huge success this summer, it’s no surprise that creator of the graphic novel, Mark Millar is already talking plans for more sequels to the film.
Plans were put into motion to make another movie as soon as the movie broke the $50 million mark, and Millar was of course happy to oblige:
“What I will be doing is providing them with a very small amount of stuff for a story, and that will be used as a basic story that they can build from. It will be a small outline that can possibly be picked apart and not used – but it will be something exclusively for the second film, and no one will ever really see it…. It will be some of the stuff that we didn’t utilize from the first book for the movie – like chapters three and four – there will be some stuff from that, so in the loosest sense it will be based on the book, but only very little,”
