On Whether The Production Of The Movie Was Too Rushed:

"No, on the contrary, [shooting] films [you] have so much time. I come from TV-land, I come from ‘Damages’ where you have no time. You have no preparation. You just get the scene the night before and you hope and pray you do a good job. To me, ‘X-Men’ felt luxurious."


On Whetheer She Was Familiar With The Comic Books Beforehand:

"I pretty much had to dive in. I knew a little bit, but not much. It’s not my world really. I’m not a comic [fan], I never read comics, I’ve never been hugely into comic book films. It was a whole new genre to discover."


On Moira McTaggert's Role In X-Men: First Class:

"She’s kind of a collaborator. She’s James McAvoy‘s love interest in the film. She’s a doctor in the comics and she’s a CIA agent [in the film. She’s a real pioneer. It’s in the ‘60s and it’s a time when women did not work in the CIA. She’s very smart, very ambitious, very forthright and really truly believes that humans and mutants can co-exist and in fact help one another."


X-Men: First Class is set to be released on June 3, later this year!

So she disagrees with January Jones who said it was rushed. Controversy! Cat Fight! :-P

Sounds like she is confusing her individual, prep/filming time and actual overall production time though.

the film was rushed,from the end of september 2010 to june 2011 to get everything right.

So she's a CIA agent in First Class then becomes a doctor by The Last Stand? Also, If she's in her late 20s erly 30s in this flick, that'd mean she was about in her 70s in The last Stand (played by Olivia Williams). Wow, she looked great for a 70-something yr old woman in X3. Still, I am interested in seeing this movie.

James McAvoy said it didnt feel rushed either.

He said his previous movies felt the same.

So... the so called rushed production is questionable.

@ CaptainAmerica,

Nothing really, the same as everyone who isn't white, or hetrosexual, or Republican, or Catholic, I guess. Why do you ask? I mean c'mon, at least I didn't use the N-word! (see how I used the "PC" version so as not to offend your virgin ears.)

@ SKGannbit, thanks, I can see you have a sense of humor.
