Kevin Bacon is being lined-up for a role in X-Men: First Class.
The Footloose star is reportedly in negotiations with studio Twentieth Century Fox to play the chief villain in the forthcoming prequel, though no details about the exact nature of the character have been disclosed.
Kevin, who has an 18-year-old daughter Sosie and a 20-year-old son Travis with his actress wife Kyra Sedgwick, is the latest star to be linked to the project. The Matthew Vaughn-directed movie will follow the early friendship of Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr as they struggle with their mutant abilities and set up a school for gifted youngsters.
British actor James McAvoy has signed up to play Professor Charles Xavier - the role played by Sir Patrick Stewart in the first three movies - while 33-year-old actor Michael Fassbender will portray Erik Lensherr, otherwise known as Magneto and originally played by Sir Ian McKellen. The movie will also feature actors Nicholas Hoult (Beast), Caleb Landry Jones (Banshee), Alice Eve (Emma Frost) and Lucas Till (Havoc).The film is expected to begin shooting next month.

MacGruber star Ryan Phillippe recently confirmed to MTV News that he will be auditioning for the part of Steve Rogers, the lead role in The First Avenger: Captain America.
“I actually am going in to meet on Captain America, which is kind of cool. After Superman, he was kind of my favorite,” Phillippe said about the superhero.
Ryan, however, faces stiff competition for the role. Chris Evans (Fantastic Four), Chace Crawford (Gossip Girl) and Channing Tatum (G.I. Joe) are also believed to be in contention.
A shortlist for the female lead of Golden Girl reportedly includes Keira Knightley, Emily Blunt and Alice Eve. Meanwhile, Hugo Weaving (The Matrix) has been cast as Captain America’s adversary, the Red Skull.
The film - which is being directed by The Wolfman filmmaker Joe Johnston - is scheduled for release in July 2011.

She already calls herself Sasha Fierce...why not call her Wonder Woman as well?
In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, singer/dancer/actress Beyonce Knowles said it would be nice to see a few more people of color making some news these days. Even though she has two completed movies scheduled for release - and a third solo album due out Nov. 18 - the newlywed is already looking ahead. What would she like to see in her future? A form-fitting red, white and blue number.
“I want to do a superhero movie and what would be better than Wonder Woman? It would be great. And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing. It’s time for that, right?”
