One element(among many!) of Mathew Vaughn's X prequel that has caused a bit of fan backlash is this movie's incarnation of Moira MacTaggert. A Dr working for mutant rights in the comics, here she will be a CIA liaison to Xavier and Magneto's young team..



"She works for the CIA in this prequel and gets involved in the whole mutant community as it were,

"I'm on [the mutants'] side, so that's the main thing. "She kind of joins forces with [Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr] to use mutants for good rather than evil."

"She really believes in them being able to coexist with humans,"


Does Byrne display a hint of a Scottish accent when she says "Mutant community"? Maybe it's my imagination. In the comics, MacTaggert is Scottish and an ex lover of Charles Xavier and Sean Cassidy(Banshee). In the movie Banshee is said to be her assistant. But the romantic connection to Xavier is still a strong possibility.
