Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen in X-Men Last Stand

Things are starting to get exciting for the upcoming sequel to X-MEN: FIRST CLASS called X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, as director Bryan Singer has revealed that Patrick Stewart (who played Professor X in the first X-Men trilogy) and Sir Ian McKellen (who played Magneto) will be in the X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST which completely makes sense since the film will be about time travel and we’ll get to see a lot of the characters in the future. Can you think of anything better than two Professor X’s in one film? Now we all need to debate who is better: Patrick Stewart or James McAvoy? Please discuss in the comment section below.

Directed by Bryan Singer, X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST will star: Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Jason Flemyng and is set to hit theaters on July 18th, 2014. (THR)
