What Captain Picard and Mr. Tumnus have in common

The short answer is Professor Xavier.

Ever since James McAvoy played the young Professor Xavier in X-Men: First Class, a link was created in my mind between him and Patrick Stewart, who played Xavier in the previous X-Men movies. Thus, Captain Picard and Mr. Tumnus are now linked in my mind.

But wait, it gets better :)

As I was grabbing the links for this post, I found out Patrick Stewart voiced the statue of William Shakespear in movie Gnomeo & Juliet, in which Gnomeo is voiced by James McAvoy. Conincidence, or conspiricy? Will Patrick Stewart be in the next Naria flick? Will James McAvoy star in a Macbeth remake? We shall have to wait and see.
