Ian McKellen wanted to gay-marry Michael Fassbender at Comic-Con. Amazing.

Good God –Michael Fassbender’s ARMS. Is it just me or has he gained some muscle weight and his arms have gotten even better? Yeezus. Anyway, these are even more photos from this weekend’s X-Men-tastic appearance at Comic-Con. Bryan Singer managed to get all (?) of the cast of Days of Future Past at the same panel, much to the delight of Sir Ian McKellen, who wouldn’t stop flirting with Young Magneto, Michael Fassbender. Ian told the crowd, “I just want to say it’s great to be back in California. I feel safe here now that you’ve gotten rid of Proposition 8. I’m looking for a husband… It’s great to meet you, Michael.” The Two Magnetos even posed for photos one-on-one too. Because OMG.

A lot of news about the film came out of the panel discussion too. There are some minor spoilers, I guess, but nothing too crazy. Peter Dinklage is playing Bolivar Trask. There was also a confirmation that the timeline is going to be all out of whack. Singer also said that Wolverine is going to a central figure in Days of Future Past (after only a cameo in First Class). Oh, and Professor Xavier is not (completely) dead after X3? But surely you knew that from the fact that Patrick Stewart is on the panel. Sir Ian and Fassy also bonded about the Magneto helmet too. You can read more here.

Also – I hear you about James McAvoy’s long hair. It looks good. But I would transfer his ginger beard to Fassbender and then everything would be perfect. Also – how sexy is Peter Dinklage? SERIOUSLY.

    Oh, old men Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen looking old. Youth is wasted on the young. Long lives to you both.

    • BW says:

      Fassy looks like a hobbit standing next to Gandalf. Look how tiny Fassy’s head looks.

    • Jenn says:

      Time does move on for all of us. Of course, if you are rich, you can keep doing some tweaking, nipping, and tucking to keep it at bay for awhile. It is a crying shame that Peter is so small. I think he would have been one of the best looking men ever if he had had the right to grow.

  2. Lb says:

    AckI just posted about this in the other thread. Should have waited.

    I watched this panel and conference last night. That part with Ian and Fassbender had me rolling. I love Ian and Patrick Stewart, Mcevoy was funny too, and Hugh Jackman was so gracious and well spoken.

    I loved Jennifer Lawrence’s dress and I think it’s pretty likely she is back with Nicholas Hoult or somehow they’ve managed to stay great friends. they were whispering to each other occasionally, joking around, etc.

    • Migdalia says:

      I was actually at the Hall H panel and let me tell you. They showed a trailer and the movie looks epic. Also, it was pretty obvious Jen and Nick are back on. They always sat or stood next to each other, and a lot of the times when standing they were hip to hip, and at one point they were whispering to each other and it looked like his hand was on her knee. So yay I hope it is so because they looked really great together.

    • RocketMerry says:

      Judging by pictures, everybody looked so friggin’ hot at this event. Dirty and hot. Sigh.

      McAvoy is looking especially fine. I still need to get my hands on half of his movies from the last two years, I’m so behind schedule!

    • Lb says:

      I’m so excited to see this movie – thanks for sharing your experience about the trailer (I haven’t see it anywhere yet) and the panel, Migdalia!

      I’m also glad the couple is back on. They’re so young, it seems unlikely to last, but I really like them. They both seem really compatible and down to earth and have similar interests and humor.

      • Migdalia says:

        No problem! I hope they release it sometime soon because seeing it twice wasn’t enough. I know a lot of footage they show in Hall H never gets released, and there’s still one more month of filming to go with hardly any VFX work done yet. It was also shot in 3D so if you want to see it in 3D you know it’s authentic. It’s going to be dark and amazing that’s for sure.

  3. Alicia says:

    Fassy looks like he stole LiLo’s manky teeth from last year.

    • Eleonor says:

      Seriously he needs to brush those theets

      • Norman Bates' Mother says:

        Seriously? The fact that somebody has yellow teeth doesn’t meen they don’t care about hygiene or that a person with blindingly white teeth is super clean and hygienic. It is one of the most annoying myths. Teeth are not biologically destined to be super white. Some people are lucky enough to have white teeth, others have grey or yellow and our teeth are gradually shadowing as we age. He was born with yellowish teeth and they will get more and more yellow no matter how often he will brush and floss it. The fact that he is a smoker only worsens it. The only thing he can do is to whiten it.

      • Mitch Buchanan Rocks! says:

        I’ve discovered by accident a great way to whiten teeth that involves no crest chemical bs – brushing teeth with sea salt (the natural stuff from the healthfood store.) It is abrasive on the enamel so rinse with water afterwards. Good for a scrub of the tongue too and tastes better than baking soda.

  4. Tony says:

    Michael Fassbender: Ideal masculine jaw and chin?

    I’m not a fan of his zygomatic arches though.

  5. Vickyb says:

    I know you guys are inclusive, but you would *sound* a hell of a lot more inclusive if you could just say ‘marry’ instead of ‘gay-marry’!

    • Mia 4S says:

      +1

      I’m Canadian and now used to inclusive marriage, but I understand it’s an adjustment for many Americans. It is just really silly when used in this context. What were we going to think if you just said “married”? One of them was going to become a woman?

    • Anna says:

      Bc CB _is_ pretty much always very tolerant and inclusive, my only guess here is that Kaiser might have been giving a nod to this Vulture (NYMag) blurb on the McKellen/Fassy ‘flirtation’: “It’s Rick Santorum’s worst nightmare come true: comic-book villains gay-marrying themselves!”

  6. Anna says:

    McKellen is the best. He is always very quippy. McAvoy looks like he just wandered in from the Highlands, which makes him all the hotter.

    But I am not a fan of time travel premises (see Star Trek 2009) – something always goes wonky with continuity and I spend more time going WTF than actually enjoying the movie.

  7. Jen says:

    Love hearing McAvoy talk, he was adorable. No one like Mr. Stewart, just dreamy. Fassbender somehow looks older than his years and appears to have a serious receding hairline with those odd bangs, but seems charming. That is one huge cast though and not everyone was even there.

    • Mauibound says:

      I’ve always thought Patrick Stewart was a sexy beast, he carries himself with such confidence!

  8. Bianca says:

    Yeah, no, the more I look at James McAvoy’s long hair, the grosser it appears. I volunteer to give him a haircut, or maybe a shampoo. Or we could just cut to the chase and take a shower together.

  9. blue marie says:

    the only time of the year I wish I lived in San Diego. I would have loved to see this panel in person..

    Anyway, love McAvoy but not the hair.

  10. jinni says:

    Jennifer’s dress makes her look like a stylish mummy. James is so cute, I just love him.

  11. moon says:

    Back off Sir Ian! Fassy’s mine!

  12. Lucretia says:

    Watching the videos from this was a lot of fun. Fassbender looks really hot here, and I agree–he’s been working out.

  13. Sixer says:

    This panel has to be the best thing ever. Patrick Stewart has been tweeting and it was adorable.

  14. Talie says:

    Michael, those yellow teeth ain’t working for no one…

    • UsedToBeLulu says:

      I know. I get that we are supposed to be super accepting of his physical flaws (for some reason) but his gray/yellow teeth are really a distraction.

    • ShakenNotStirred says:

      Who cares about his teeth? He’s gotta big d$Ck.

  15. Jules says:

    Loving Jennifer Lawrence’s dress!….dat ass!. YOWZA!.

  16. Melissa says:

    Where is Jean Grey? Couldn’t she come back too.

    • LilyRose says:

      Yes. She won’t be coming back, Famke Janssen said in an interview that her character was not included in the film. 🙁 I am just scared this movie will be a mess.

  17. Elodie says:

    Sir Ian, I bow to your greatness!

    Fassbender, when you come back to London well… that offer I might reconsider it yes LOL!

  18. Marianne says:

    James McAvoy looks like a homeless man…I would still hit it though!

  19. Stef Leppard says:

    Yummy! There is so much hotness going on in that panel.

  20. Deb says:

    Too much hotness on that panel. I die

  21. fabgrrl says:

    I’ll watch anything with Peter Dinklage! Peter Dinklage and Patrick Stewart sharing the screen? Just wonderful! I believe they were both in the first episode of TNG, Dinklage playing a non-speaking role.

  22. Soapboxpudding says:

    That is a whole lot of sexy on one panel! Ladies and gents included. And so much ginger hotness. Whew.

  23. Alexis says:

    Wants to gay-marry? You mean marry, right? We already know Ian is gay. Marriage is marriage.

  24. Samtha says:

    Patrick Stewart is still hot.

  25. Kath says:

    I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it here before… but I first came across Fassy on a UK show called ‘Hex’ (no, not the movie ‘Jonah Hex’).

    Crap show, but my God he was mesmerising in it (to the extent that I googled him because at that stage he was a complete unknown).

    The funny thing is, now he’s a lot more well-known but seems to be getting less attractive the more famous he becomes!

    • FassDaActor says:

      Fassy was so freakin’ hot on that show it’s unreal! The seduction scene at Cassie’s bed and the scene when he threw her against the lockers is something serious. The man knows what he’s doing.
      Y’all keep playing around with these pretty boys. I like them rugged and wearing my a** out a la Fassbender. He is NOT less attractive to me.

      He looks HOT here. The arms…

      I hear you Ian but lay off my man b*tch! lol

  26. Eve says:

    that’s one HOT and awesome cast, watched the panel last night and I’m very much looking fwd to this movie, but I must say Jennifer is getting more and more annoying as time goes by, she’s now caught up in her cool geek girl act and tries too hard with witty interuptions but it’s doing nothing for me execept inducing my eyerolls, ugh. Maybe I should follow her more closely, but I just can’t help the feel that’s all an act. Glad she’s back with Hoult though, he seems like a nice guy 😉

    • m.h says:

      completely agree with the jennifer comment. shes overexposing herself.
      her interview with access hollywood was very boastful

      • angie says:

        really? she is overexposing herself at comic con where it’s a place for movie promotion? what, do you want her not to do interviews to promote her own movies? but then, wouldn’t she be called a DIVA? lol *rolls eyes*
        By the way I watch the access Hollywood interview at comic con and i did not find her boastful at all, i mean she just answered a question from the interviewer about where did she put her Oscar, and you know what she said, that her parents took it back to Kentucky cause she was feeling weird having it in her house in LA as she did not want to remind people of it and all,I thought she was pretty sweet and charming in that interview.
        Sometimes, people don’t understand Jennifer’s sense of humor, girl is very witty, goofy and has a very sarcastic sense of humor, i guess it’s not for everybody, and i don’t think she is faking it either cause i watch an interview of her since her winter bones’ days and she was charming and witty as ever in her old interviews, and that was before Hunger Games and SLP.
        If she is faking her personality, then she has been faking it since before winter bones’ ? that’s kind of ridiculous? she should receive another Oscar personally if she indeed is faking it cause really? JMO.

      • ShakenNotStirred says:

        We haven’t really heard a peep from Lawrence outside of Comic-Con. Not sure I understand how she’s overexposing herself by doing what is expected of her.

  27. M4 says:

    That’s quite a panel, movie should be great. Some observations: Jennifer Lawrence is adorable; laughed at the “this tastes good” comment regarding the mic after she accidentally hit herself in the face with it! (LOVE the dress!), Lawrence and Hoult definetly do seem to be back on (very cute together), James MacAvoy’s accent…LOVELY (such a cute Scot!!), my crush grows for Dinklage and Fassbender looks great in that tee-shirt BUT….BRUSH YOUR TEETH, Michael!.

    • Yellowshaba says:

      Thats what got me hooked on fassy was Hex. If he wasnt on it, it wouldnt have been so intruiging sexually lol. Have seen everything hes been in since cuz he really is an amazing actor

  28. FassDaActor says:

    What is this with the ‘brush your teeth’ comments towards Michael? Who’s to say he doesn’t? They’re going to be off white anyway. He smokes and is in his 30s. Teeth aren’t white anyway. He’s super pale so his teeth will look off unless he gets the ridiculous blinding white beaching. His teeth could be a little brighter but stop saying he doesn’t brush his teeth.

    I don’t now why I’m surprised. I expect shallowness from some of the hens here

  29. oreally says:

    I dont get it. They both look horrible

  30. Maria says:

    Fassy is so yummy.

    His proportions are divine.

    I don’t care about his teet: his body and face more than make up for them.

  31. Miss M says:

    Maybe Fassy is getting tips from his athletic girlfriend… He looks much better with the extra weight.

    • FassDaActor says:

      He changes weight for his parts.

    • Elodie says:

      Well, unless he confirms it nobody knows about the girlfriend thing eh, could have been casual dates or else… but in the meantime no one knows.

      And yes as mentioned above he loses or gains weight depending on his roles.

  32. Carrie K says:

    Oh, McAvoy. Soooo hot, love the long hair. Good thing I called in sick today, now I can watch Atonement!

    First post! Hello!

  33. Lucy says:

    Can I just say that I love that McAvoy was wearing an X-Men tee?

  34. Jules says:

    @Angie: +1,000,000.

  35. Ag says:

    Hilarious! Sir Ian, you saucy minx, you!

  36. brasileira says:

    THAT! “How sexy is Peter Dinklage?”

    I’d be all over it!

  37. Wonda says:

    That first pic Fassy looks to be in his late 40s-early 50s. He looks old for his age. Don’t get the hype about him. James looks like a hobo but i’d take him.

  38. LovesGossip says:

    I’m sorry but Sir Ian is Hugh Jackman twenty years from now. I think it’s time to replace the original X-men cast with much younger actors–Stewart,McKellen,Berry,Jackman etc. are just to old to continue to play these characters,–imo.

  39. Finn says:

    James’s hair extensions are just for the movie…

  40. Bel says:

    Michael,smoke less.

  41. fan says:

    I’m not bothered by the colour of Fassbender’s teeth, just by the pure amount of them LOL

  42. pato says:

    good lord, McAvoy!!!!!!!!!! he is HOT HOT HOT HOT can´t stop looking at him. and nick hoult. yummmm
