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."
