If you’ve ever been watching X-Men and thought, “Boy, I would love to hear Alex Turner’s voice singing over this scene,” today is your lucky day.

According to NME, Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner and Miles Kane, aka The Last Shadow Puppets, are writing an X-Men-inspired film that’s set in the 1960s. “It’s gonna have a sort of X-Men kind of vibe and sort of set in the ’60s, but I can’t give any more away than that,” said Kane. Neither of the two will star in the movie, he added, “but we may have a little cameo.”

The duo both have their eyes locked in on the film before letting them drift off to the thought of making new music together. “It’s something we always talk about, y’know? But I think we’re gonna write this film first anyway before we hit back into that,” said Kane. Their last album was The Age of the Understatement in 2008. Hopefully we’ll see a return to the studio shortly after, although a film will be pretty awesome.
