    First comment, yay! I guess the X-men are Narnians? Or at least they like Narnians…

    They should call it 'x-fauns' and 'x-dwarfs', not 'x-men'! 😉

    I like Peter Dinklage, but i'm a bit disappointed he's going to star in a generic X-Men movie (is it already the sixth or seventh x-men, just doesn't seem to end that franchise)
