Bryan Singer (producer)
“I think mine has always been Professor X. Which was another reason that drove me to make First Class .
Just because he’s powerful, idealistic and vulnerable all at the same time, and I’ve always been fond of him.
"Although if I could choose to be a character I’d be Nightcrawler, because then I could go wherever I wanna go!”
Matthew Vaughn (director)
“It’s hard because I like so many of them. I’ve always had a soft spot for Beast because I like the idea of having this highly intelligent guy who looks like a blue werewolf!
"But then you can’t help but love Magneto too – so I would say for me it’s a tie between Beast and Magneto.”
James McAvoy (Charles Xavier)
“That’s such an easy question: Gambit. In the cartoons he has this kind of weird New Orleans accent, which I really liked, kind of Cajun.
I loved that, because it’s so rare to find un-generic voices on telly, in a kids’ show. That was almost his best mutant power, his accent!”
X-Men: First Class is released on 2 June 2011.
