Jennifer Lawrence Will Romance Michael Fassbender in the Next X-Men Movie

VANITY FAIR HOLLYWOOD
BY KATEY RICH
NOVEMBER 14, 2014 11:41 AM


BOTH © 20TH CENTURY FOX FILM CORP./EVERETT COLLECTION.

Winning an Oscar and being part of two mega-franchises at the same time isn’t easy, even for the seemingly super-human Jennifer Lawrence. Though she remains front and center of the Hunger Games franchise, Lawrence’s role as Mystique in the new X-Men films is more of a supporting part, and in last year’s X-Men: Days of Future Past Mystique played a crucial but relatively small role, seemingly allowing Lawrence to take a step back (or rush off to another set).


That won’t happen with the next X-Men adventure, it seems. In an article documenting just how busy Lawrence will be in the next few months, The Hollywood Reporter says that X-Men: Apocalypse is “being crafted” around Lawrence’s Mystique and Michael Fassbender’s Magneto, including a romance between the two of them. Sparks have flown between the characters since the first film, and the last one featured a memorable, intimate conversation between them in a cramped phone booth, so it makes sense for these two crazy mutants to take things to the next level.

FANSHARE
PUBLISHED: OCTOBER 28, 2014 20:40



There are a lot of hugely talented German-Irish man stars in the acting industry these days, with many of them considered some of the most sought after stars in Hollywood, taking on some of the biggest roles around. One of the biggest German stars in Hollywood right now, is the handsome actor Michael Fassbender, who has enjoyed a huge rise to Hollywood superstardom over the years.



Over the years, we have seen Michael Fassbender taking on some very impressive roles, in some very exciting movies, giving us some fantastic performances along the way. During the course of his career, we have seen Michael appearing in movies such as 300, Inglorious Basterds, X-Men: First Class, Prometheus, 12 Years a Slave, X-Men: Days of Future Past, and Frank, to name just a few.



Michael Fassbender is far from finished yet though, as his Hollywood career is showing no signs of slowing down, with plenty of impressive movie roles coming in the next few years.

Michael Fassbender Competes With Robert Downey Jr For Highest Paid Actor In Hollywood? ‘Iron Man 3’ Actor Rumored To Appear With ‘Frank’ Star In ‘Assassin’s Creed’

KPOPSTARZ
By Sophia Steele | October 01, 2014 10:54 PM EDT



It’s really no surprise that Michael Fassbender, one of the most workaholic actors in Hollywood is giving Robert Downey Jr. a run for his money! Maybe ‘Frank’ star wants to oust him as the highest paid actor in Hollywood. ‘Iron Man 3’ actor is definitely fighting back, especially with the new rumors that he will be joining Michael Fassbender in ‘Assassin’s Creed’.

The rumor mill of Hollywood is claiming that the highest paid actor in Hollywood has “signed on to play Leonardo da Vinci in the movie adaptation of ‘Assassin’s Creed’”, according to Cinema Blend. This is the biggest casting news for ‘Assassin’s Creed’ since… well Michael Fassbender got involved, that is.



‘Frank’ actor has been working so much that it looks like he is about to challenge Robert Downey Jr.’s position as the highest paid actor in Hollywood. Between 2014 and 2015, Michael Fassbender has released eight movies, including the most recent ‘X-Men: Days of the Future Past’ and most anticipated ‘The Light Between Oceans’.

The word on the street is that Michael Fassbender works so much that it’s impossible for him to keep a girlfriend! He admitted to GQ on February 2012 that he chooses work over romance.



"I’m kind of selfish with the hours that I put into the work," he continued. "I think the longest relationship that I've been in was two years. I started [acting] when I was 17, so I guess in my dating, adult life, that kind of covers it."

“It’s not fair on somebody to be waiting for you,” the actor told GQ. “You spend long periods of time apart and then when I am here, I’m working.”

Michael Fassbender’s movie magic is award-worthy

LARNE TIMES

Larne man Mike Collins with his famous nephew, actor Michael Fassbender. INLT-23-714-con

Michael Fassbender’s Larne uncle says it is only a matter of time before his famous nephew wins a major award.

Speaking exclusively to The Times the day after he saw his nephew star as Magneto in the new Xmen movie Days of Future Past, local man Mike Collins stated: “I took my son to see Xmen last night.

“To be honest, I’m not a big Xmen fan, but the movie I saw last night was brilliant.”

The most recent installation in the Xmen blockbuster franchise sees Xmen characters from the past and present unite to fight for the survival of their species.


Michael and his parents

Michael Fassbender has a special link to Larne, as his mother Adele is from the area and he regularly visited his grandparents at the town’s Wellington Parade during his childhood.

Michael was born in Germany, his father’s native land, before his family moved to Kilarney.

His uncle Mike recalled: “Michael would have been here on numerous occasions – Christmas, family get togethers.

“The last time he was in Larne would have been four years ago for my wedding reception at Ballygally castle.


Michael and his dad

“He always wanted to be an actor, since he was very young – since primary and secondary school he was always involved in some form of acting and drama.

“He was also a bit of a musician and played everything, including the guitar, which he still plays.”

Mike says that the family is very proud of their famous son, who worked ‘very, very hard‘ to make it in Hollywood.

He continued: “I thought he was brilliant in 12 Years A Slave and in Hunger.

“He has had some brilliant roles, but 12 Years A Slave is probably my favourite.

Watch James McAvoy And Michael Fassbender's 'X-Men' Impressions (Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen)

ET CANADA
By DAVID HUMPHREYS
6/2/2014 at 5:07 PM ET



In order to play Professor X and Magneto in X-Men: Days of Future Past, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender had to study old footage of Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen, who play the older versions of the two characters.

As the below video demonstrates, they perhaps studied the footage a little too closely. Asked by Stewart and McKellen to share their impressions, Fassbender says "Three days as the crow flies" in a pitch perfect Gandalf voice, then launches into a word for word recreation of a speech that McKellen delivered in front of the Royal Shakespeare Company about Macbeth in 1979. McAvoy, meanwhile, says "Logan, haven't you got a lesson to teach?" in a way that makes Stewart slap his knee in disbelief.



It's easy to see why McAvoy and Fassbender decided to only loosely channel Stewart and McKellen in the film rather than do the exact imitation you see in the video. Had they taken the latter approach, Days of Future Past would have been an early contender for funniest movie of the year.

Michael Fassbender admits to Macbeth doubts

INDEPENDENT WOMAN
May 25, 2014


The X-Men star portrays the anti-hero in Justin Kurzel's big screen adaptation of William Shakespeare's play, alongside Marion Cotillard as Lady Macbeth.

"(It was) scary. I hope I did justice to it. It's pretty big boots to fill," he said.

Actors who have previously played Macbeth on stage and film include Orson Welles, Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Kenneth Branagh.




The drama, which is set for release in 2015, also stars Southcliffe's Bafta-winning actor Sean Harris as Macduff, Elizabeth Debicki as Lady Macduff and Paddy Considine as Macbeth's ally Banquo.

'X-Men' Star James McAvoy Talks Imitating Patrick Stewart (Video)

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
9:02 AM PDT 5/19/2014 by Hilary Lewis

James McAvoy

X-Men fans were seeing double on Monday when both the younger and older versions of Professor Xavier appeared on Good Morning America.

James McAvoy and Patrick Stewart each shared their thoughts on the other actor, with McAvoy revealing that he initially shaved his head when he learned he would be playing the younger version of Stewart's character.



"I had showed up on the first day of X-Men: First Class, and I had shaved my head because I wanted to check what it looked like about a month before we started shooting -- and it looked quite good -- and they were like, 'No, no, no, no, we want you to have long hair.' "

FIRST LOOK: Michael Fassbender as glowering Macbeth with Marion Cotillard as his blood-stained Lady

'And there is an end, but now they rise again': Michael Fassbender will hit our screens as Shakespeare's damned usurper next year

There couldn't be a more salivating prospect than Michael Fassbender as Shakespeare's aspirant Macbeth and Marion Cotillard as his manipulative Lady.

And a first look at the posters for the 2015 movie version of the cursed Scottish play - directed by Justin Kurzel - does nothing to quell the appetite

'It’s the first time I’ve played a character with no light, total darkness,' Marion Cotillard told Variety recently of playing Lady Macbeth.


'And when she loses control … I’m affected by the character I live with when I’m shooting, so I lost control of everything, like her, and it was really hard to handle.'

She also told The Independent: 'The depth of humanity in her – but it’s all driven away by fear and despair. How you do things to have a better life – but when they are against humanity, you will fail.'

And she has faith in her co-star: 'I saw a lot of movies [Fassbender] was in, and I have the feeling he’s reached another level here.

'When you start a scene and you don’t really know where you’re going to go, that’s a roller-coaster. Many times I was surprised by what he does in this movie, and this is priceless.'

Tough gig: Cotillard has previously said portraying Lady Macbeth has been a challenge in that she has never played a character with 'total darkness' before

‘X-Men’ Premieres in New York Without Director Bryan Singer

X-Men Days of Future Past cast

Bryan Singer, the director of “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” skipped the world premiere of his movie on Saturday night, following the recent filings of two lawsuits that allege he sexually abused underage boys.


But the cast of the Twentieth Century Fox summer tentpole — including Jennifer Lawrence, Hugh Jackman, Ellen Page, James McAvoy, Patrick Stewart and Michael Fassbender — packed plenty of star power into New York’s Javits Convention Center. The live-streaming premiere also invited hundreds of “X-Men” fans inside, who waved posters and action figures and shrieked as the actors posed for selfies.



When the subject of their director would come up, the red carpet attendees either deflected questions or vaguely defended him — as an artist. The studio’s chief Jim Gianopulos thanked Singer in his introductory remarks, making no mention of the scandal or his absence.

Patrick Stewart, who plays Professor Xavier, recalled how Singer created a strong foundation as a director with the first “X-Men” movie in 2000. “Well, he is a visionary,” Stewart said. “He is a serious filmmaker. He knows the craft inside out. He knows what he wants, although sometimes it could be a roundabout process to get there.”

Asked if he’s reached out to the director, Stewart responded: “We are in touch all the time, through email mostly.” How is Singer doing? “He’s great!” Stewart responded.

Michael Fassbender & Marion Cotillard Bring Shakespeare To Life With New Image From 'Macbeth'

THE PLAYLIST (INDIEWIRE)
BY KEVIN JAGERNAUTH
APRIL 28, 2014 10:05 AM



For any students out there who will face the task of reading Shakespeare's "Macbeth" in the future, cheating by watch the movie version just got a whole lot more interesting. Not that we condone not reading one of literature's greatest works, but if you do decide to take a shortcut, Justin Kurzel's cinematic take may be the one to track down.



Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard lead the way in this highly anticipated film, and the actress is already finding human tragedy and flaws in Lady Macbeth. “The depth of humanity in her – but it’s all driven away by fear and  despair. How you do things to have a better  life – but when they are against humanity, you will fail,” she told The Independent earlier this year.

'X-Men Days Of Future Past' Plot Spoilers: James McAvoy Faces Future Self! 'Filth' Star Needs A Reason To Go Bald!

KPOP STARZ
By Staff Writer | March 03, 2014 12:26 PM EST



"X-Men: Days Of Future Past" lives up to its perplexing name. The time travel reference is obvious, and of course there would be a meeting of past and future selves-but only for Charles Xavier, aka Professor X.

James McAvoy was introduced as the younger version of Charles Xavier in "X-Men: First Class." However, as director Bryan Singer takes over, he brings the whole gang-perhaps for some closure before the torch is finally passed. But for McAvoy, the role comes full circle, as he winds up face-to-face with his future self, played by Patrick Stewart.

McAvoy spoke to Collider on their set visit to share his thoughts on the experience:

"It's great to do a scene with Patrick Stewart, I would imagine.



McAvoy: Yeah.

It's weird, I also would imagine, to do a scene with Patrick Stewart where you're the same character.

McAvoy: Kinda, yeah. But we're very different interpretations of that character, by nature of the fact that we're very different times in that character's life.  With me and him, it's different, because we're at very different times in his life. And also, it's weird, because when I took over the role of Charles, I never thought that I'd be working with him. I never thought I'd give a similar performance to him. I certainly never thought that I'd be giving a very different performance to him to his face. Kind of going like, "Yo, what you got, man? Show me your big nose! We've got big noses together!" There's like a profile shot with both our noses together. Conk to conk. I think he wins slightly, but they tell me that your nose grows with age, so by the time I'm his age I think I'll be knocking the shit out of it in the nose wars."

Michael Fassbender reveals that he was close to tears on the set of 12 Years A Slave after scene with a child actor

Michael Fassbender's emotional experience on 12 Years A Slave set

Michael Fassbender has revealed that he became quite emotional following a scene with a child actor.

Fassbender, who plays plantation owner Edwin Epps in the film, admitted he had a ‘lump in his throat’ when he spoke to the youngster, who plays the daughter of slave Patsey.

He told Empire: ‘She was so sweet, that little girl, because we did the scene and I come running out, screaming and yelling, and she got really frightened and started crying.

‘I was like “This is make-believe, we were playing pretend and everything’s OK” and we took her out of the scene.

‘After that I was getting ready to go back into the scene again and I was…getting into the headspace, pacing around a bit and she stood in the doorway. And she goes “Are you OK?”’

The family feud that haunts Atonement star James McAvoy

 MAIL ON LINE
December 18, 2013



You could hardly blame actor James McAvoy for being a little bleary-eyed as the black limo deposited him outside the Beverly Hills mansion.

It was now past 2am, but Atonement's leading man and his actress wife Anne-Marie Duff were determined not to miss Prince's post-Oscars soiree.

Despite his tiredness, McAvoy was elated. He had earlier presented an award in front of Hollywood's finest at the 80th Academy Awards ceremony.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in the poverty-stricken area of Drumchapel in Glasgow, the actor's father, James McAvoy Snr, was hard at work atop a roof.

Tired from his morning's labours, roofer McAvoy Snr was further drained by a late night of his own.

He had tried - but failed because of the eight-hour time delay with Los Angeles - to stay up to watch his son's big Oscar moment.

But the small television screen in his cramped Glasgow flat is perhaps as close as McAvoy Snr will ever get to his son.

Poignantly, he hasn't spoken to James for 21 years.

The 29-year-old actor is notorious for being fiercely private, rarely talking about his family circumstances or relationship with Anne-Marie.

Perhaps it's little wonder he is less than forthcoming about his background.

For the Mail has discovered that behind the diminutive actor's seemingly effortless rise to fame lies a heartbreaking story of a broken family, a violent half-brother and a hard childhood on one of Glasgow's most notorious council estates.

Today, his lonely father can only marvel from afar at his son's success.

"It has been hard on me not being in his life, but I'm just glad that he seems happy," says James Snr, ruefully.
"I hope one day he'll get in touch. I was amazed he'd done so well."

Hearing McAvoy's clipped upper-crust English vowels as Robbie Turner in Atonement, many fans will be unaware the actor hails from such humble Scottish beginnings.


McAvoy spent his turbulent early life in a terrace council house on the graffiti-decorated 1950s Drumchapel housing estate, where he was raised by his maternal grandparents James and Mary Johnstone.

Butcher James and wife Mary, whom McAvoy still regularly visits, were his role models when they took him in aged seven, following his mother Elizabeth's split from his father.

Psychiatric nurse Elizabeth, or Liz as the family prefer, suffered from "poor health" so felt her son James, and daughter Joy, then five, would be better off at her parents' home a few streets away.

Roofer Mr McAvoy, 50, explains: "We were a very happy family and for a long time there were no problems.

"James was a real daddy's boy - we would go swimming and play football together. We didn't have a lot of money, but we got by."

But childhood sweethearts James and Liz "grew apart" and, by their late 30s, had divorced.

"Our son took it hard," says McAvoy Snr.

"He just wasn't the carefree little boy he'd been before."

At first, father and son continued their relationship, with James Snr taking his son swimming or to watch Celtic football team.

But when a year later James Snr moved in with a new lover, Mary McKinnon, the eight-year-old McAvoy refused to have anything to do with his father.

"I think James still had hopes of me and his mum sorting things out," claims McAvoy Snr.

"He started refusing to see me because he didn't like Mary. In the end I took a step back rather than upset him."

The young McAvoy demonstrated his steely nature when a few years later he was larking around in the playground of the St Thomas Aquinas secondary school in Drumchapel and spotted his father working on the school roof.

"James just looked away without saying a word," recalls his father sadly.

It does, however, seem odd that he was so determined to wipe out of his life the man he once idolised just because of the appearance of a new lover.

Surely there must be more to the split than the reticent James Snr would have us believe.

McAvoy Jnr has himself hinted there is another side to the story.

"I can't really be bothered with it," he told one interviewer of his father's attempts to get back in touch.

"I know what happened and I know what didn't happen."

Tom Hiddleston Mobbed After Sexiest Man Win, New Film Supports Charities

Tom Hiddleston

Tom Hiddleston has redeemed himself after losing to Superman’s Henry Cavill in Glamour UK’s Sexiest’s Man Alive contest. Hiddleston has now claimed the title in MTV’s recent poll. Shortly after the Loki actor was mobbed by a crazed throng of fan girls. Meanwhile, the actor is using his newfound fame for a good cause. Hiddleston has recently lent his talents to a short film, promoting UNICEF charities.



Tom Hiddleston is one of the hottest young actors today. The Thor star recently came in at number one in MTV’s Sexiest Man Alive poll. Hiddleston won with an impressive 77 percent of the vote. X-Men Days of Future Past star Michael Fassbender, A.K.A. Magneto, came in second place for the poll. However, Hiddleston is a bit of a magnet himself. The Disney prince was mobbed by crazed fans last week after leaving a performance of Shakespear's Coliolanius at London’s Donmar Warehouse.


Hiddleston is also using some of his immense popularity for a good cause. Hiddleston joins Ewan McGregor, Michael Sheen, Emma Bunton, Rita Ora and Tinie Tempah in Unicef's new short film, No Place Like Home. The new video was made to raise awareness and support for the children of Syria.

Hiddleston recently tweeted about the cause, writing:
 "Please watch @mcgregor_ewan @michaelsheen @RitaOra & me in @UNICEF_uk's #noplacelikehome film for Syrian children."

5 things you should know about Michael Fassbender

by Donna Freydkin, USA TODAY



Michael Fassbender has long been a critical favorite, lauded for his almost-mesmerizing ability to inhabit utterly intense, often unlikable characters living marginal lives. There's his icky sex addict in Shame, and the tortured young Magneto in the first X-Men prequel. But in reality, the actor, 36, has a loose, breezy charm totally at odds with the broodiness he displays on screen. USA TODAY caught up with Fassbender over sushi.

1. He's perfectly willing to go to the dark side.

Perhaps there's no better example than unhinged slave owner Edwin Epps, whom Fassbender plays in 12 Years a Slave, now in theaters. His is considered one of the film's many standout performances. "I felt I had a huge responsibility to make a layered human being out of the character and to really show the effect of that world," says Fassbender. And on Friday, he switches gears in Ridley Scott's sleek, sexy The Counselor, with Fassbender frontlining a star-studded cast of criminals, subversives and weirdos. "He's an arrogant guy. He's greedy. He drives a Bentley he can't afford. He's living outside his means and that's a pretty common thing in Western society," says Fassbender.



2. He gets weirded out by sex scenes, even when they're with Penelope Cruz, who plays his fiancée in The Counselor.

It didn't help that her own husband, Javier Bardem, plays Fassbender's boss in the film and was on set. "You try to be as respectful as possible, and it sounds crude, but you just get it done," says Fassbender.


3. He wants to headline a musical. Yes, seriously.

Fassbender loves '80s tunes and deftly performs Toto's Africa on cue, a skill he demonstrates in between bites of salmon. Which is why, he says, he and Slave director Steve McQueen "are hopefully going to do a musical together. I guess it would be an original piece. I'm an excellent singer."

British Director Steve McQueen talks about the ‘magic’ of actor Michael Fassbender, the impact of slavery on his own family and Oscar campaigning



Actor Michael Fassbender has a strange kind of magic about him, says Director Steve McQueen that leaves people in tears when he finishes a scene.

The director was speaking on The Green Room following the London Premiere of his new film 12 Years A Slave.

It is the third time the Irish-German actor and director have collaborated on film (previous films include Hunger and Shame) and it’s a relationship McQueen values highly.


 “I value our relationship more than a lot of things about life, I value it tremendously. He’s an artist, an amazing artist. He’s a force to be reckoned with.”

Murmurings of Oscar nominations are already in the air, although Fassbender who was Oscar nominated for his performance in McQueen’s earlier film Shame, says he won’t be playing the Oscar game this time around.



Steve McQueen agrees with Fassbender’s stance saying he doesn't plan to campaign for the Oscars either.

“I’m not campaigning. Michael’s campaign is on screen. That’s Michael Fassbender’s Oscar Campaign. There’s nothing much more to say. He’s done his thing, that’s it.”

I want to keep my private life private: James McAvoy


James McAvoy

INDIAN EXPRESS
3 October, 2013

'X-Men: First Class' star James McAvoy likes to keep his family away from media attention.

The 34-year-old actor feels grateful for not been stalked by paparazzi, reported Daily Express.


"I think people are quite used to the fact I don't talk about my private life and the paparazzi don't usually bother me," McAvoy said.

"I get stopped in the street now and then, but people are nice and I don't mind that, I've never minded that. All I want to do is keep my private life private, my relationship and having a child and all that kind of stuff," he added.
