  • McAvoy Talks "Wanted" Characters
    By Garth FranklinSunday September 17th 2006 12:50am
    Newsarama spoke with James McAvoy this weekend out during promotions for "The Last King of Scotland" and asked a few questions about the film adaptation of the comic "Wanted" in which he plays the son of the greatest supervillian on Earth.

    Will there be much in the way of character changes? "Since the character was so based on Eminem, I feel like I have to get away from that since it is something I will never achieve. Nor should I try to attempt. I feel like I am going for the essence of what he's done and then try to fill it in" says McAvoy.

    He adds that the character of Shithead is "not in the script at the moment", and that the film "is less about superheroes and more about the empowerment of lives and how Wesley [his character] does all this amazing stuff and people tell him he is a supervillian. But he knows he doesn't have superpowers so he does it through belief".
