James McAvoy, action hero!

We know the latest Wanted trailer has been on the net for a while now, but we just noticed James McAvoy is briefly shirtless in it, so what the hell. James plays a meek and mild office worker who gets recruited into a secret society of vigilante assassins (“Kill one, save thousands”) by Angelina Jolie, as you do. It’s the first proper action role for the star of Atonement and Becoming Jane, and judging by the trailer, James looks totally convincing, in a Matt Damon – rather than Vin Diesel – kind of way. Wanted opens on 27 June, and we’re officially excited.
