Patrick Stewart reveals his favorite moment playing Professor X in the X-Men movies to LA Times:
"The best thing I ever did got cut out of one of them. I had to get Xavier's wheelchair into this elevator and it was just an inch wider than the chair. I worked on it and worked on it; I got to the point that I could zoom right — whoosh – and spin on that wheel and be facing the camera. It was brilliant. It was probably the best scene of my career. It didn't make it in." ... "I'm not joking about that!"

Batman star Christian Bale reacts to the news of Henry Cavill being cast as Superman? This report comes from E! Online:
So, Batman to Superman, what is Bale's reaction to Henry Cavill's casting in the Christopher Nolan-produced Man of Steel movie? None. He stares kinda blankly at a reporter for a beat or two, clearly having never, ever heard of Cavill.

Lucas Till talks to VMAN about playing Alex Summers (aka Havok) in Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class:
"The day after I arrived on location to shoot Battle: Los Angeles, I started a three-week boot camp. The first week consisted of getting my body physically and mentally ready for everything the marines would be doing in the weeks to come. For X-Men: First Class, my routine is a lot different. Portraying Alex Summers, I want to look as athletic as his character is in the comics. My trainer, Ed Chow, is one of the nicest people on the face of the earth, which is deceiving, because he is damn good at what he does."
