'X-Men: Dark Phoenix' News: Latest Cast Photo Features Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
Production for the much-awaited "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" film is currently in high-gear but that doesn't mean the cast isn't available for a photo op. And when the fan is none other than Justin Trudeau, missing out is not an option.
James McAvoy recently uploaded a photo on Instagram featuring the cast along with the Canadian prime minister. The cast enjoyed a nice meal consisting of oysters, drinks, and laughs with Trudeau and other members of the production.
