Actor James McAvoy will play the role of Professor X again in X-Men spin-off New Mutants.
It’s Anya Taylor-Joy, McAvoy’s co-star in Split, who accidentally confirmed the actor’s involvement in X-Men: The New Mutants.
During an interview for M. Night Shyamalan’s movie Split, Taylor-Joy, who is rumored to play Magik, also hinted at Demon Bear as the New Mutants villain, reported Ace Showbiz.
Taylor-Joy said she had seen the recently-released New Mutants animatic featuring Magik, Wolfsbane, and Cannonball facing off against Demon Bear.
“I have (seen the Demon Bear animatic), it’s pretty cool. I’m a big fan so I’d love to be a part of it. I can’t say very much, but I would love to be a part of it. I think this year’s gonna be very exciting.”
When asked if she would like to reunite with McAvoy in X-Men: New Mutants, the actor answered, “I mean, I think James is already a part of it, isn’t he?”
But it’s not the only time an insider spilled the beans about the possibility of having McAvoy back as Professor X.
