X-Men films have always been big, and necessarily so, because of the stories they have to tell.

I actually had the good fortune to work with Nick Hoult on Mad Max in Africa, so we became really fast friends.

I'd been a fanatic of movies since I was a wee lad, so I got into the films before I got into the comics.

I started on the original comics from Stan Lee and all the artists and storytellers did from there, and I got to the graphic novel that Chris Clairmont did, which is the one Stryker comes from - God Loves, Man Kills, which is a brilliant story.
