James McAvoy, who portrays one of the lead roles in Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class as Professor X, speaks briefly with Josh Wigler of MTV. In the first segment of the interview he revealed how he would make the role his own, and not imitate Patrick Stewart's performance. And now he sheds a little light on his & co-star Michael Fassbender's Magneto relationship in the film.



"I think there's a lot of room there for a real connection," McAvoy told us of his hopes for the relationship between the two "First Class" protagonists. "By the end of that relationship, there's still a kind of affection for each other. You see that in the stuff that Patrick and [Sir Ian McKellen] did together. There's a lot of love there, strangely, I think."

"I think the fun about these films, when you go back and you either reboot or do a prequel, is you get to see how people became who they are," the actor explained. "That means that you have to do them differently and by the end of the movie you have to do them the same way. The interesting journey is what happens to them, what changes them, what makes them evolve — not just mutate, but emotionally and psychologically evolve."
