Cast of X-Men: Days of Future Past announce whirlwind worldwide premiere X-Perience for fans
The cast of X-Men: Days of Future Past are gearing up for a huge worldwide premiere event when the film is released in May.
On Monday, Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender who play Wolverine, and younger versions of Professor X and Magneto respectively, announced via a video that as part of the X-Men X-Perience the stars of the latest Marvel film will 'divide and conquer' globally across seven capital cities to attend premieres and meet fans.
After the global premiere in New York, Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, as well as Ian McKellan (Magneto), Patrick Stuart (Professor X), Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), Peter Dinklage (Bolivar Trask), Fan Bingbing (Blink), Omar Sy (Bishop), Nicholas Hoult (Beast) and Ellen Page (Kitty Pryde) will split up to go to premieres around the world all in one week.

Three cheeky men: Michael Fassbender, Hugh Jackman and James McAvoy joked their way through the X-Men premiere X-Perience announcement on Monday
The catch is, Fox is not revealing who will be attending which premiere and the stars could end up in London, Moscow, Singapore, Sau Paulo, Beijing, or Melbourne.
Jackman, McAvoy and Fassbender joke and laugh their way through the announcement, competing on how many miles each gets to travel for the endeavour.
Fassebender says he is traveling '5029 miles, so that's going to be a great adventure,' with McAvoy trying to get one up by bragging his journey spans 9356 miles.
Jackman comes out on top though, saying 'Guys I don't want to turn this into a pissing contest or anything but I'm going like 13375 miles.'

Top secret: Jennifer Lawrence who plays Mystique, among other cast members will jet-set off to premieres around the world but it will not yet be revealed who is visiting which cities
Though the three men do start to take it a little more seriously, with McAvoy announcing that he's most looking forward to greeting fans at the events.
The Wolverine actor agrees, and says 'Seriously, our fans are the best, you're all so passionate about the characters and the movies, it's going to be great to be able to share the experience with so many of you.'
And the fans seem to be just as, if not more excited than the actors, with many already taking to Twitter to express their anticipation over the announcement.
