Again, not Avengers, but Marvel Universe-related so it’s relevant…
THR’s Heat Vision Blog is reporting that James McAvoy (Wanted) has landed the role of Professor Charles Xavier in the upcoming Matthew Vaughn-directed X-Men: First Class.
This is a much younger Xavier than we’ve seen in the other X-Men films, where he was played by Patrick Stewart.
The movie is scheduled to be released on June 3, 2011.
