Edward John David Redmayne OBE (born 6 January 1982) is an English actor and model. He is the recipient of various accolades, including an Academy Award, a Tony Award, a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a British Academy Film Award. He began his professional acting career in West End theatre before making his screen debut in 1996 with guest television appearances. His first films were Like Minds (2006), The Good Shepherd (2006) and Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007). On the stage, Redmayne starred in the productions of Red from 2009 to 2010 and Richard II from 2011 to 2012. The former won him the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play. Redmayne's film breakthrough came with the roles of Colin Clark in the biographical drama My Week with Marilyn (2011) and Marius Pontmercy in Tom Hooper's musical Les Misérables (2012). He garnered consecutive nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayals of physicist Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything (2014), and transgender artist Lili Elbe in The Danish Girl (2015), winning for the former. In 2016, he began starring as Newt Scamander in the Fantastic Beasts film series.
The movie opens in the X-Mansion as the most recent set of mutants graduate and old X-Men reunite for the first time in years. We see people like Logan who recently got his memories back thanks to a serum Bruce Banner created, Cyclops who after being left by Jean Grey who is missing is now married to Emma Frost, Beast who after creating the cure for cancer is now a billionaire, Nightcrawler who rejoined the circus he belonged to before the X-Men, and more. Members like Colossus, Magneto, and Kitty Pryde did not return for a number of reasons. Kitty Pryde is currently in India trying to clear her mind now that Peter Parker is with Gwen Stacy, Colossus is working with the X-Force, and Magneto is looking for a way to stop aging. The movie ends with Cyclops and Logan visiting Charles Xavier's grave and saying goodbye. This isn't the end of the X-Men films in this universe but it is the end of the team we've been following. In the next X-Men film we're going to start fresh with new and familiar members.
