Magneto Will Marry Professor X, Sort Of
Fox
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 »

Nightcrawler isn't the only mutant that can teleport, you know ... and he's most definitely not the best-looking.
Fan Bingbing is the latest student to enroll at Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters as she's joined the ever-growing cast of "X-Men: Days of Future Past," according to Deadline.
Bryan Singer actually announced the casting news via his Twitter account, as has been his custom as he preps for his triumphant return to the "X-Men" franchise. Bingbing will be playing the role of Clarice Ferguson, aka Blink, a mysterious, unstable mutant with the ability to zap herself from one place to another without the use of any Seth Brundle-created contraption. The character was first introduced in "Uncanny X-Men" #317 (1994). Get More »

You May Want to Sit Down For the First Photo From 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'
These days, it's nearly impossible to keep a new movie completely under wraps. No matter how hard the studio works to prevent spoilers from coming out (and as Christopher Nolan shows with "The Dark Knight Rises," they try very, very hard) some paparazzi or inside man will end up leaking key details onto the internet. You just can't stop it.
Which may explain Byran Singer's new strategy for "X-Men: Days of Future Past" — simply spoil everything yourself.

We've got to hand it to "X-Men: Days of Future Past" director Bryan Singer, because the guy sure knows how to surround himself with serious talent. First he went and brought back original "X-Men" trilogy stars Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman and Ellen Page for his time travel epic. Then he signed up "X-Men: First Class" leads Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender. And now?
Well, now he's just added Golden Globe and Emmy winning "Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage. Looks like this "Future" is going to be an awesome one. Get More »

All of the week's hot casting news in one fell swoop ...
• Seth MacFarlane has scored quite the cowgirl! The "Ted" funnyman has rounded up the gorgeous (and quite funny herself) Charlize Theron to star in his new film, "A Million Ways to Die in the West," a self-described "Blazing Saddles"-type comedy about a sheepish farmer who chickens out of a gunfight and sees his girlfriend leave him. [Heat Vision]
• Colin Farrell and Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain are going classical with "Miss Julie," director Liv Ullmann's take on August Strindberg's 19th-century stage play about the sexually-charged battle of wills between a wealthy socialite and one of her head servants, with the servant's fiancee popping up every now and then to make things even more interesting. Samantha Morton is also set to star. [The Hollywood Reporter] Get More »

Sir Ian McKellen Predicts the Victor in Epic Magneto Vs. Gandalf Battle
Marvel
Sir Ian McKellen gets all the magical and mutanty powers.
Not one but two of his long-dormant characters have now risen from the graveyard of concluded series to restore his place as the reigning king of all Franchiseland. "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" reintroduces the supreme wizard Gandalf, and thanks to the coming "X-Men: Days of Future Past" McKellen'll manipulate some metal at least one more time as the ubiquitous Magneto. Both of the otherworldly gents have nothing short of extraordinary skills, but for McKellen, the choice of who'd trump whom on the battle field is much easier to decide than we ever expected.
Yep, McKellen hit last night's episode of "The Colbert Report" and laid his quick bet on the winner of a Gandalf-Magneto bout for the ages in the video below. Get More »
