For the rest of the cast, which includes Claire Foy as the ex-wife, they will aware of the scenes.

Christian Carion will direct the film, which begins production in early November in Scotland.

“We’re thrilled to be working with Christian to create My Son for worldwide audiences,” Adam Fogelson, chairman, STXfilms Motion Picture Group, said. “James will be doing the detective work of the film in real time, on camera, to create real tension for this thriller.”

He added, “We like to support bold and innovative storytelling like My Son, and Claire could not be a more spectacular or exciting choice for this film which is certain to thrill audiences.”

“Honestly it’s kind of surreal you guys, I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since the first X-Men movie,” Hugh said, just before Ryan popped up on the screen.

“Ryan, the cast and I were all just reminiscing about the movie that we’re in together,” Hugh said to Ryan, who does not appear in the original X-Men movie in 2000, but stars in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Hugh then tries to kick Ryan off the reunion, but Ryan revealed that he invited a few other X-Men actors into the call.

Sophie Turner and James McAvoy, both from X-Men: Dark Phoenix, then appear on screen for a brief moment before everyone starts signing off.

“Oh sorry, I actually thought this was a Game of Thrones reunion,” Sophie joked. “Bye!”

“I actually have a James Bond reunion Zoom now,” Famke said, to which Halle responded, “Oh God me too,” before they both signed off.

Split reunion,” James said, while Patrick added, “Star Trek.”

Then it was just Ryan and Hugh.

“Just you and me Logan, you know what that makes this a reunion for?” Ryan said to Hugh before, Liev Schreiber popped in for a second to yell, “X-Men Origins reunite!”

If you missed it, Ryan recently opened up about the future of Deadpool!

James McAvoy Has Been Told He's Too Short for Roles

James McAvoy is opening up about being turned down for roles because of his height.

The 40-year-old Glass and X-Men actor, who is 5’7″, says the he even had a leading lady say that their on-screen relationship would not be believable because of the height difference.

“As a shorter man, I sometimes get told I’m too short for a role,” James told The Telegraph. “Or even when I get a role, I’m made to feel like, well, of course, we’re going to have to do something about that.”

James said that a female co-star once questioned if he was right for the film “because nobody would believe [he] would be with someone like her.” He added, “That was a kick in the nuts.”

“I was like, ‘All right, now I’ve got to pretend that I really like you for eight more weeks. This is going to be really tough, because you’re so far up yourself.’ It got really interesting, that relationship,” James said. “Sometimes you’re made to feel like you’re not good-looking enough to get a role.”
