James McAvoy recently spoke with MTV UK about returning to the role of Charles Xavier in Bryan Singer’s X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. So far, the movie – which begins filming next month in Montreal – has 16 confirmed cast members, with more to come. McAvoy commented on the large cast and how well he thinks it’ll be handled in the film.

“I’m very excited. I mean, it’s gonna be a massive affair,” said McAvoy. “Getting us together with Sir Patrick, Sir Ian, Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry and all that as well, and with Jennifer [Lawrence] and Nick [Hoult] coming back, it’s gonna be nuts.

“I’ve read the script,” he continues, “it’s really good, really, really amazing work, doing that thing that X-Men films normally do quite well, actually, which is taking a massive group of characters and giving them all their time, which is a difficult trick to pull off. I’m looking forward to it, it’s gonna be cool.”
