James McAvoy is set to direct the story of Silibil N' Brains.

James McAvoy is known for an array of films ranging from Wanted to Atonement, but many know him best for playing young Professor X in various X-Men films. After spending years in front of the camera, McAvoy is ready to make his directorial debut. According to Deadline, the actor has been tapped to direct a film about the true story of two guys from Scotland who faked their way into the music industry by pretending to be American rappers called Silibil N' Brains.

The story is based on Bain's memoir California Schemin' AKA Straight Outta Scotland, which was adapted into a 2013 documentary called The Great Hip Hop Hoax. The untitled film will be produced by Homefront Productions, and it's expected to begin production next year. Will James McAvoy Appear in the MCU?The Marvel Cinematic Universe is expected to eventually reboot the X-Men, but last year saw Patrick Stewart returning as older Professor X in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Hugh Jackman will soon be seen reprising his role as Wolverine in Deadpool 3. Many think other X-Men stars could be showing up in the threequel, and there's a lot of speculation about the former Marvel stars who could appear in Avengers: Secret Wars.
