With ‘Dark Phoenix’ firing up theaters across the world and drawing Fox’s 19-years-long X-Men saga to a close, we sat down with James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender to dive deep on the relationship that has been at the heart of the films: that between the peacemaking Professor Charles Xavier and the more militant Erik Lehnsherr, a.k.a. Magneto. Here the two actors discuss their favorite scenes together, how each character has changed, what they drew from fellow actors Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, and whose side they would take if they lived in the X-Men universe.
