James McAvoy is set to become Hollywood's latest action hero after being offered a £12 million pay-cheque to star in two more 'Wanted' movies, press reports indicate.

Movie executives have given the go-ahead to the sequels after the box-office success of the hard-hitting action thriller and they want the 29-year-old Glasgow actor to return to the role of office nerd-turnedassassin Wesley Gibson.

An insider reveals: "There's no way that they could do the sequels without James. It'll be the biggest pay-day of his career."

Every night in northern Uganda, tens of thousands of children from rural villages flee their homes for distant urban centers, driven by fear of abduction and forced conscription by rebels who, for the past 19 years, have waged a bloody civil war against the Ugandan government.

James McAvoy has confirmed to the National Post that he's giving himself a break after 'The Last Station' in which he plays a Tolstoy assistant opposite Helen Mirren, Christopher Plummer and Anne-Marie Duff.

"I am going to take it easy and give myself some space," McAvoy says. "I've been around sets a lot over the last year or two, so I need lots of space to myself."

I've just received official confirmation from Universal UK that London's 'Wanted' Premiere has been cancelled. It was originally due to take place in Leicester Square on June 12th. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

On a personal note, I am in the process of moving from the UK to France. I am flying tomorrow but hopefully it should not take later than early next week for me to be hooked back online!
