No, not James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, theyve got the OGs.

Were talking about the original trilogy.

Play these five other games first.

Three of those were the original X-Men movies, which meant I watched them alot.

No, especially X-Men: The Last Stand.

Patrick Stewart as Professor X next to Ian McKellen as Magneto and Anthony Mackie as Captain America.

Its a win-win for the studio and for fans like me.

McKellen and Stewart, in particular, are two of the most compelling actors of our times.

Marvel, you sickos, you gambled on nostalgia and won again.
