"I've just started training for it and getting into physical shape for the character as there's quite a bit of action," the actor told UK newspaper The Reading Post. "It’s just about getting prepared as much as I can in the very short time I have before we start filming."
"I'm very excited. I am a big fan of the X-Men films and have been reading a lot of the comics. It's a fascinating world with so many interesting characters when you get your head into it. The films are really well put together and it’s great to be a part of them. A lot of my friends are also fans and massively looking forward to it."
They also came across a pretty big scoop regarding a possible filming location for the movie. Apparently,
"a photographer from 20th Century Fox visited The University of Reading on July 16 and spent half an hour taking pictures of older buildings on the Whiteknights campus."
However, the biggest bit of information contained in the article was a hint that the movie will be set in the 1960's as Fox are apparently looking for building that fit in that era!
The snapper was looking for inspiration and possible locations and was keen to grab plenty of pictures around the university’s 60s architecture to fit in with the era of the new movie."
When asked whether or not
X-Men: First Class will definitely be filming at Reading University, their spokeswoman Rona Cheeseman told the paper that,
"The photographer had seen some of the buildings on the university website and asked to come down and take some pictures. You never know!"
