X-Men: Days of Future Past‘s Twitter-happy director Bryan Singer took a Vine video of Sir Ian McKellen on the set of X-Men: Days of Future Past. It autoplays, so you get a picture of a young McKellen wearing a snappy hat above the cut instead. You’re welcome.

James McAvoy Says No Shared Scenes With Patrick Stewart… What Kind of Time Travel Movie Is Days of Future Past?

by Susana Polo | 11:43 am, February 26th, 2013

Alright, I’m just as well versed as the next person in the tropes of time travel fiction. I know the perils of running into your past self in a setting where changing the timeline can have disastrous consequences, compared to settings where changes in the past simply split off parallel universes or where changing the past is impossible because if you change it then you’ll never have needed to come back to change it and then you won’t have changed it so you’ll have to come back to change it but then you’ll never have come back to change it so then it won’t have changed so you’ll go back to change it but then it won’t have changed so…

James McAvoy says he has no shared scenes with Sir Patrick Stewart.

Ian McKellen Says Which Female Tolkien Character Will Show Up In The Hobbit Extended Release

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:45 am, December 24th, 2012

The Hobbit, as well as The Lord of the Rings, are lacking in women in a big way. You can blame the guy who wrote the first book in 1937 if you feel the need, but when adapting those stories to film in 2013, the absence is noted. Peter Jackson went so far as to add a new elf, Tauriel, to his Hobbit trilogy but it turns out a few of the women who already existed in J.R.R. Tolkien’s world didn’t make the cut for theater viewings. Sir Ian McKellen explains who.

It’s Official: Hugh Jackman Will Be Back to Snark at Professor X and Magneto in Days of Future Past

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:00 am, December 19th, 2012

…if you consider director Bryan Singer‘s Twitter an “official” source. I used to, considering he’s the director and he should know about these things, but after his Twitter announcement that Sirs Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart had signed on turned out to be a bit premature, I’m not sure whether I can trust him anymore.

Forget Boring Interview Questions! Why Not Engage the Cast of The Hobbit In a Game of FMK? [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:30 am, December 16th, 2012

What, did you think that because The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has come out we would stop posting The Hobbit stuff? Oh, you sweet summer child. MTV’s Josh Horowitz sat down with Martin Freeman, Sir Ian McKellen, and Andy Serkis for a round of Middle Earth-themed FMK, that most mature of games wherein you must decide which of three people (or people/Hobbit/orc/dragon/fiery disembodied eye, in this case) you would marry, which you would kill, and which you would, er, “have relations with.”

All of them take the questions quite seriously.

You’ll Never Believe Who’s Voicing The Snowmen In The Doctor Who Christmas Special

by Jill Pantozzi | 12:54 pm, December 9th, 2012

We’re still a few weeks off from seeing this year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special but that doesn’t mean other people haven’t gotten a glimpse. We know there’s going to be creepy snowmen involved but we didn’t know they’d have actual personalities. We now know they do thanks to one, very special person. Who is it? We’ll leave this huge spoiler until after the jump but I will say this – it’s someone we adore here at The Mary Sue.
