When James McAvoy was cast as Professor X in X-Men: First Class, the one question on everyones mind was: “when is he going bald?”. This was the character’s iconic look, from the comics to Patrick Stewart in the original movies, so it was only a matter of time before McAvoy embraced the follically challenged lifestyle. Well, it took two movies, but as we all know X-Men: Apocalypse sees McAvoy go full Charles Xavier, and Fox have released a new behind the scenes featurette chronicling the momentous event, including an appearance from Stewart himself passing on the torch. Check it out below.
Released: May 18th (IRL/U.K.)/May 27th (U.S.)
Synopsis: Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel's X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.
