In an exclusive with Total Film, director Bryan Singer touches on how actor James McAvoy's younger Professor X is dealing with life since X-Men: First Class.
"[James McAvoy’s ] Professor X is in a very bad way. He’s a mess. It’s a very different, radical take on the character. At the end of First Class he’s still a preppy guy who thinks he might want to turn his mansion into a school, And then what occurs over the next decade, everything goes terribly wrong. Then there’s the loss of Raven [aka Mystique] from his life, the disappointment of that. His mishandling of their relationship. That’s a key thing."
And not to be forgotten, Magneto is somewhat of a lost soul as well.
"When we catch up with [Michael Fassbender’s] Magneto we don’t know what he’s up to. He’s isolated and somewhat embittered. We have hope for him that he’ll choose the right path. And unfortunately that happen. He becomes a terrible fly in the ointment of the mission."
The path of these two have been connected closely through the comics and still continue in the films. X-Men Days of Future Past releases in theaters on May 23, 2014.
