James McAvoy Describes A Ridiculous-Sounding Deleted Scene From X-MEN: FIRST CLASS
While promoting Victor Frankenstein along with Daniel Radcliffe, James McAvoy gets on to a story about a scene from Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class that never made the final cut involving Xavier, Michael Fassbender's Magneto, and a very large, very dumb opponent...
X-Men: First Class didn't really take itself too seriously on the whole, and contained a few intentionally silly moments anyway - but the scene described by James McAvoy in the following video interview might have taken things to a new level of corniness altogether!
It saw McAvoy's Charles Xavier and Michael Fassbender's Erik Lehnsherr take on an unnamed brute that was apparently too stupid for the Professor's mind-control powers to work on. So, with Magneto also at a disadvantage with no metal in the room, the duo decide to take him on hand-to-hand. Have a watch for yourselves to find out what happens next.
This scene has to exist somewhere, and I for one hope we get to see it one day. Both McAvoy and Fassbender will return for X-Men: Apocalypse next May.
