It has just been announced that Scottish actor James McAvoy, who below is lookin’ all beefed up and HAWT, has been cast as Professor Charles Xavier in the upcoming X-Men prequel film First Class, due out in theaters in Summer 2011. You may recall that last December, Bryan Singer talked to the LA Times about directing the film … it turns out that he has since decided to produce the film and leave the directing duties to Matthew Vaughn. James McAvoy is the first actor attached to the planned prequel … and today, we get to see what McAvoy will look like as a young, very hawt Professor Xavier:

British actor James McAvoy has landed another Hollywood action franchise with the lead role in the latest X-Men film – and he has a tough new image to match. The 31-year-old Scot, who rose to fame in UK TV’s Shameless, will play a young version of the Marvel superhero team’s iconic leader Professor X in a prequel to the blockbuster trilogy. A new still from the film shows the actor in peak condition, with his tanned torso looking incredibly toned and taught. X-Men: First Class, due to be released in 2011, will be directed by Brit Matthew Vaughn – fresh off his controversial superhero hit Kick-Ass. It will be McAvoy’s second comic book-based action series, after scoring a hit alongside Angelina Jolie with 2008′s Wanted – which is now getting its own sequel. Professor Charles Francis Xavier, the character’s full name, was popularised in the big screen trilogy by fellow Brit Patrick Stewart. A wheelchair-bound scientific genius with telepathic powers, he heads a school for youngsters with mutant powers and leads the X-Men team against rival Magneto’s Brotherhood. The new film will show the duo’s friendship in their younger years as they worked together against a common foe before a rift turned them against each other. Bryan Singer, who directed the original X-Men and its sequel, conceived the story.

Oh yes … yes, yes, yes … I wholeheartedly approve. I think McAvoy‘s casting as Professor X is genius … I cannot wait to see who they will cast opposite him as a young Magneto/Max Eisenhardt. If X-Men: First Class is planning to feature James McAvoy lookin’ this good and his half nekkid, then sign me up. I am so on board with this casting … what do YOU think?

Angelina Jolie‘s most recent leading man, James McAvoy, is featured on the cover of the new issue of Details magazine … behold:

Except for his smoldering blue eyes, the cover photo is pretty unremarkable. In fact, the man doesn’t get as much attention as he should considering the films he’s been in thus far in his career. I liked Wanted and I expected to hear more about James‘s starring role in the movie but when you’re paired up opposite Angelina Jolie, well, it’s hard for people to even know that you’re there. The most press I’ve read on the man came from his role in Atonement opposite Keira Knightley and yet I still remember him best as Mr. Tumnus, the half-goat man in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. I’m not sure if Wanted is going to be enough to cement his leading man status but he gave it a good try. I hope he has more success in the future, I’d hate to see this one fade away.
