Filming on the 'X-Men: First Class' is set to start at the end of this month, and Matthew Vaughn is still casting for a key role - Charles Xavier's love interest Dr. Moira MacTaggert. But never fear, because it looks like 'Damages' actress Rose Byrne is in talks for the part - according to The Hollywood Reporter.
MacTaggert is a scientist who specialises in genetic mutation, and she turned as Professor X's housekeeper. However it wasn't long before her true significance to Professor X, the X-Men and mutantkind would be revealed. A year after the character was introduced, it was apparent in flashbacks that MacTaggert was actually Professor Xavier's ex-girlfriend, and apparently this is the story that Byrne will be tackling in Vaughn's prequel.
So, that means the cast (so far) looks like this:
James McAvoy - Charles Xavier a.k.a Professor X
Rose Byrne - Dr. Moira MacTaggert
Mike Fassbender - Erik Lehnsherr a.k.a Magneto
Nicholas Hoult - Hank McCoy a.k.a. Beast
Jennifer Lawrence - Mystique
Caleb Landry Jones - Sean Cassidy a.k.a. Banshee
Lucas Till - Alex Summers a.k.a Havoc
Edi Gathegi - Darwin
Alice Eve - Emma Frost a.k.a. The White Queen
Kevin Bacon - rumored to be Sebastian Shaw
Jason Flemyng - Azazel
So who's playing Cyclops? Still no news there.
