Forget about everything you read or videos you saw on the things you “should” know before going to see the latest “X-Men” installment, “Days of Future Past”: knowledge in Mutants history or a vast background in franchise trivia mean aren’t really necessary. All you need to know about the film is this: the leads have amazing chemistry.

Proof of that is embedded below, a video that popped up online the other day went viral instantly and has solidified the reputations of Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen as the Kings of the Internet. You will also meet the future Kings James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender.

Stewart and McKellen play Professor Charles Xavier and Magneto in the original “X-Men” movies, and they reprise their roles in this new installment for the storyline set in the future. McAvoy and Fassbender star as their younger versions.

This new video comes after another Yahoo! chat in which McAvoy and Fassbender, accompanied by franchise fixture Hugh Jackman (aka Wolverine), had a blast doing Stewart and McKellen impersonations.

I will say just this before leaving you to enjoy the video: not only do these two respectable gentlemen actors ask for more impersonations, but they actually try doing some as well. McKellen is the funniest, but only if you’re familiar with Fassbender’s critically acclaimed film “Shame.” Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t get the joke.

This said, go ahead and brighten up your day with a smile.
