Take the coolest thing you could ever imagine happening in the history of nerdery and multiply it by a hundred. No, make that a thousand ... Done? Good. Whatever you just came up with there, it's not even half as awesome as this, so brace yourselves.

Magneto is going to marry Professor X, ya'll.

No, we're not talking about some gnarly new "X-Men: Days of Future Past" plot detail — although that could be an interesting direction for the franchise — this'll be an actual real-life wedding ceremony.

Appearing on The Jonathan Ross Show this weekend, Sir Ian McKellen revealed that he'll be serving as an officiant for Patrick Stewart's upcoming wedding ceremony with thirty-five-year-old songstress Sunny Ozell. Get More »

Professor X Games: James McAvoy Vs. Patrick Stewart

Fox

Few living actors are capable of summoning the raw power, understated dignity and, yes, incessant baldness, that Patrick Stewart managed to channel during his tenure as Professor Xavier in the original "X-Men" trilogy. So when director Matthew Vaughn took the helm of the much-anticipated prequel "X-Men: First Class" (in theaters June 3), he had quite the psychic scalp to fill.

Enter James McAvoy. Since arriving in Hollywood, this handsome (but not in a way that makes you hate him) thespian has charmed audiences with soulful performances and a headful of healthy follicles. But will he make a convincing Xavier with all that showy hair and...non-Patrick Stewartness? He's not even British! (He's Scottish.)

So we're putting these two mutants head to head, in a battle for best Prof. X of all time! Joining us today as X-treme guest judge is a hero who's no stranger to a caged death match: Wolverine! Get More »
