Fox has released this brand new photo of James McAvoy (with a furrowed brow) as Charles Xavier in X-Men: Days of Future Past. The new X-Men movie brings Bryan Singer back into the X-Men fold as director and stars just about everyone from the previous X-Men movies.

Coming to theaters on May 23, 2014, the cast includes Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore, Peter Dinklage, Omar Sy, Daniel Cudmore, and Lucas Till.

The Plot: The ultimate X-Men ensemble fights a war for the survival of the species across two time periods in X-Men: Days of Future Past. The beloved characters from the original X-Men film trilogy join forces with their younger selves from X-Men: First Class, in an epic battle that must change the past — to save our future.
