Unfortunately, guys, the print versions are spoken for in magazines, so all I can provide is the audio. Sorry about that.

Hey Ed, out of curiosity where do you work? Also I think it's hilarious that he played Mr. Tumnus in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. Every time I see that movie, I hear the quote from Wanted, "What the [frick] have you done lately?"

I'm all for Tea's idea Ed, and make it with many typical latino-american mistakes in the grammatic ;P

I know Magneto is getting a lot of the plaudits so far - but I am really looking forward to watching McAvoy doing his young Xavier.

Great actor playing a great character.

I bet he mentions that the older Xavier is a sexless monk again.

Dunno what he said cuz I can't get audio/video at work.
Regardless, I reckon he's gonna be a good Charles Xavier, I've liked his work ever since I first saw The Last King of Scotland.

@ JackBauer - LOL! Probably.
