James McAvoy may have already been cast as a younger version of the founder of the X-Men but Bleeding Cool have revealed that the movies casting agent is now looking for an even younger actor to portray him as a child. Here is an excerpt of the report from the the site:
"Brendon Connelly calls me to let me know that X-Men: First Class casting agent Lucinda Syson is looking for a ten-to-twelve-year old boy with blue eyes to play the role of a young Charles Xavier. Yes, we know that James McAvoy has already been cast as a young Charles Xavier, but I mean I really young Charles Xavier."
As I'm sure you already know, this is usually the age where mutants' powers begin to manifest so this news points to X-Men: First Class going way back into the history of Charles Xavier. Will we see him as a youngster along with his half brother Marko Cain, aka The Juggernaut? And will they go into as much detail with Magneto's background? Share your thoughts in the usual place!
