New X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Production Photo Confirms James McAvoy Is Going Bald As Prof. X

Since X-Men: First Class was released in 2011, fans have been wondering when James McAvoy would shave his head to portray Charles Xavier in the same way as the comic books. There were no signs in X-Men: Days of Future Past of the character losing his hair, but we now know for sure that he'll be bald in next year's X-Men: Apocalypse. It took a while, but this is definitely long overdue.

As well as returning cast members Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, and Ian McKellen, X-Men: Apocalypse will also introduce Alexandra Shipp, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Lana Condor, Oscar Isaac, Ben Hardy, Olivia Munn, and a number of others. The movie is set to be released on May 27th, 2016.

Definitely. I think much of that has got to do with the massive cast of fan-favourite mutants - young Cyclops, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Angel and Storm, then the DOFP crew (Quicksilver, Xavier, Magneto, Mystique and Beast), plus Jubilee, Psylocke and Havok. So awesome.

Thought he would've sported the goatee. But he did say he would go bald in this flick. Just wondering what causes that to happen though?

Abt time!!! Even tho his mutation caused him to lose his hair as a child in the comics. Thanks Fox for finally catching up.

Noice! Maybe just use a bit of make-up to age him up a bit, and I think he won't make for a too shabby Professor X.

I'm hoping we start to see a Professor X that resembles the comics and Patrick Stewart's version; the young inexperienced Charles with his insecurities was good and it made sense, but I hope we don't get it for the 3rd film in a row.

Cool!

I'm hoping they go all out with Apocalypse.

Embrace the genre Fox. You know you want to!

Maybe he will finally start getting laid in this film and stop crying over his "sister" Raven and stop saying "ERIK!! ERIK!! NO ERIK NO!!". In the comic Xavier was actually well built because he was former military despite being paralyzed. And he actually got some oussy. (Alien pussy,
