James McAvoy says he starred in X-Men first class because he had no money in the bank
“My first child came, and I neither myself nor my wife at the time worked for about six months to a year. We just stayed at home and looked after him. And I, we weren't like, we weren't penniless. We didn't have any debt, but we had pretty much nothing in the bank…
X-Men came in. I went, "Where's it filming?" They went, "Pinewood, it's 40 minutes from my front door." I was like, "Awesome." And I was also like, "X-Men, great!" I loved the cartoon when I was a kid. That'd be brilliant. I loved the movies that came out in 2000 and Bryan's original movies were brilliant.
But I was like, this is a three-picture deal, they're paying well, it's 40 minutes from my front door, I'm a fan of the original material, I get to be young Jean-Luc Xavier. And I was like, this is a no-brainer.
So my agent called me, she was like, "What do you think?" And I was like, "It's a work of genius, we're doing it!”
James McAvoy will be at the Toronto International Film Festival 2026 NEXT WEEK!
He will join Variety’s Future in Focus to talk about his works, including ‘CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN’, which premiered at TIFF last year, and ‘FAITH’, which will have its world premiere at the festival.
22 years ago this September, LOST changed television forever. It changed the way stories were told, the way shows were made, and what audiences expected from TV.
Still don’t think the MCU can top James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender as Xavier and Magneto. Their chemistry gave the relationship an actual history, tension and tragedy that made every confrontation feel personal.
