In a GQ UK profile, James said the movies didn’t take full advantage of the relationship between Charles Xavier and Magneto. (Michael Fassbender starred as Magento.)

“It was one of the most positive experiences I’ve had with a studio,” he said of the films.

“I don’t really [see them as just] money gigs. Days of Future Past I think is one of the better films that I’ve been involved in.”

“My biggest criticism of what we did throughout the four movies was that after the first movie, we didn’t take advantage of the relationship between [Xavier and Fassbender’s Magneto], which really formed the backbone of the first film. So it was like, why did we just eject that massive weapon?”

“I’m very quick to say, ‘No, I’m done.’ Or ‘I’m not that bothered about coming back.’ Because you move forward,” he said when asked about the possibility of returning as Xavier.

“I’ve definitely not got the call [from Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige]. And if I did I would definitely not be telling you,” he teased.
