It's just a few months away and mutant fans are still in search for more "X-Men Days of Future Past" spoilers. With around 175 actors involved in the new film franchise, hearing each and one of them can surely take some time. That's why we chose to feature Charles Xavier, which was played by James McAvoy.

In a group interview with the Scottish actor, Frosty of Collider was there to ask some questions that most fans would love to know. Here are some excerpts from that Q & A:

Frosty: It's weird to do a scene with Patrick Stewart where you're the same character.

McAvoy: Kinda, yeah. But we're very different interpretations of that character, by nature of the fact that we're very different times in that character's life.

Frosty: I've just now envisioned you in the Jesse Pinkman role in that matchup. He's the Walter White, from Breaking Bad?

McAvoy: Oh, yeah, yeah.

Frosty: Did the two of you discuss that scene?

McAvoy: No, that was my first day. I walked up on set. It was their last day and my first day. It was quite a simple scene, really, in terms of - when you have two people who have the same person at different times in their life, checking each other out, it's like...you don't want to get in the way of it too much, with too much blocking, or too much moving around even.

Frosty: We saw a hint of that shot at Comic-Con. It looks very cool. It looks intense.

McAvoy: I think a lot of the X-Men films have been quite intense and quite serious and stuff like that.

After chatting with James McAvoy regarding the superhero film and Patrick Stewart, more X-Men Days of Future Past spoilers was revealed by the actor.

Frosty: Nick told us that you guys were shooting a scene together and you had to react to something, and you punched him.

McAvoy: He's been like, every interview he's done, he's like, "Shit, I forgot to tell them that you punched me in the balls!" I'm glad he finally got that out. It was a total accident. I didn't think that Nick knew the camera was on him. And he wasn't flinching. So I decided to hit him to make him flinch or something like that, and I just went, boom! And I smacked him right in the balls!

I'm sure you can't wait to see Nicholas Hoult a.k.a Beast's reaction to that in the next installment. We will reveal more X-Men Days of Future Past spoilers in the coming days for all the mutant fans out there!
