   Alright so, someone asked about #fancasting Professor Xavier and I think James McAvoy is aging into this role well. His Charles was one of the best things about the FOX universe, so I think we can keep it (like a variant situation). You need a Charles who can play good and dark if the need arises and he's an amazing all-around actor. 😎

     @jacklaridian my hot take is that McAvoy was better than Patrick Stewart in the role. And it’s not close.

     I think Stewart was good, but he played Charles like a tired old man. McAvoy brought nuance to the character and deserves more time with the character.

     In the comics, he was born in America but spent half his life in England. I'm sure McAvoy can do an American accent, but I don't want the sophisticated Charles to speak like a New Yorker. 😅

     @jacklaridian McAvoy did a great job but I’m ready for an American Professor Xavier. If he can do an American accent I’m all for it. Personally I like the rumor floating around that it’ll be Giancarlo Esposito in the role.
