A new featurette has been released by 20th Century Fox, chronicling the exact moment James McAvoy finally shaved his head and went bald for his role as Professor X.  Patrick Stewart also makes an appearance via Bryan Singer's cell phone.  Charles Xavier should be in his mid-to-late forties in X-Men: Apocalypse, a ripe time for male pattern baldness to surface.  However, it's probably a safe bet that all of Charles' hair falls out due to some sort of confrontation with En Sabah Nur.



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.

I really feel bad for James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender because they are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [frick]ing good as Xavier and Magneto. I really don't see how anyone can complain about those 2. They deserve better if Apocalypse truly is a dud.

I know it's irrelevant, but am I the only one who thinks Civil War is a bit overrated?
It just didn't live up to my expectations. :/

@OuzoPowerMan - Why? sure it wasn't perfect, but still a very good movie with some flaws.

@Teridax - I do believe it was a good movie. To be fair, one of the best films in the MCU.
But when everyone (fans AND critics alike) says "it's the best Marvel movie to date" and that it has "the best action scenes in the superhero movie genre", then the expectations are going high.
All these reactions had me waiting for a movie at least as good as the first Avengers - not in terms of quality, but in terms of entertainment, or, if you'd prefer, 'awesomeness'. It unfortunately failed to make me as happy as the Avengers did.
Plus, craving for a movie to come out for 1.5 year had me spending my whole excitement while anticipating it.
