The globetrotting stars of X-Men: Days of Future Past are racing to premiere events on nearly every continent. Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) and Peter Dinklage (Bolivar Trask) brought the X-Men experience to Melbourne, Australia.

 

Jackman and Dinklage took fan questions and even ones from co-stars Patrick Stewart, Ellen Page and Shawn Ashmore with host Marc Fennell.

 

The two stars share some comic moments of life on set filming the massive sequel but Jackman may have my favorite recollection of working with Christopher Nolan on The Prestige before two rival super hero franchises were born.

Deathbird shows up at death’s door at The Peak. Abigail Brand of S.W.O.R.D. calls in the mutants. It’s part of the new X-writer’s plan to take the women of the atom to new heights.
