Here are some photos of James McAvoy and Hugh Jackman in London at an unveiling of… let me get this right… an “X-MEN themed pendolino Virgin train at Euston Station to celebrate the release of of X-MEN: Days of Future Past.” Sure. X-Men: Days of Future Past has lots of product tie-ins, and you’ve probably already seen some of the commercials. Have you seen the Hardee’s ads with Mystique? Days of Future Past isn’t even out until May 23rd, so we’ve got two months of promotional stops like this ahead of us. And personally, I can’t wait.

That’s one good thing about having such an enormous ensemble – different mutants can do different parts of the promotional tour. I mean, the “leads” this time around include Ian McKellan, Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Peter Dinklage, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Ellen Page and James McAvoy. There will be lots of combinations there-in and we’re going to have some fun with it.

Incidentally, I took my mom to X-Men: First Class in the theaters, and she LOVED it. I expected her to enjoy it, but I wasn’t expecting her to become, like, loonie for all things X-Men (she bought the box set of the first three films). I asked her last night if she wanted to see the new one and before I had even finished asking, she was like “YES WE ARE SEEING THAT ON OPENING WEEKEND.”

Anyway, James and Hugh are looking very good here. I think CB is more into Hugh, and she really likes his greying, short beard here. He is aging really well, isn’t he? He’s 45 years old. Now, as for James… lord, he’s cute. THOSE EYES. So… who would I rather? James. But that’s no slam on Hugh – Hugh’s looking very good here, I’m just more into McAvoy.
