Director, Bryan Singer has tweeted this first look at James McAvoy (young Charles Xavier) on the set of X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. Sitting in what appears to be the traditional motorized wheelchair from the original “X-Men” trilogy, the actor is dressed to represent the 1973 “past” timeline in the film, wearing an open-collar, pattern shirt and brown pants.

In March, McAvoy said “I think it’s going to be quite a dark journey compared to the caddish, almost playboy character that we turned him into in the first movie. I think it will be going through a darker place to ultimately get a sorted Professor X that we’re used to seeing come the third movie. This movie might be a little bit more of a passing through the crucible for him.”
