X-Men: First Class charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.


Many thanks to IGN Movies for the following video interview.



Starring James McAvoy as Charles Xavier, Michael Fassbender as Erik Lensherr, Nicholas Hoult as Hank McCoy, Jennifer Lawrence as Raven Darkholme, Lucas Till as Alex Summers/Havok, Caleb Landry Jones as Sean Cassidy/Banshee, Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw, Oliver Platt as the Man in Black, Jason Flemyng as Azazel and Rose Byrne as Moira MacTaggart, X-Men: First Class is set to be released in the UK on June 1st and in the US on June 2nd.

Uh What! Wow! Studdering, stammering, and laughing her way through those questions about the X-Men charaters She clearly knows nothing about any of the characters except what she wrote for Magneto and Professor X! LMAO! Still will not see any fox marvel crap till marvel gets the rights back.

This movie was sh!t IMO it is the same crap as the other x men crazy story lines and bad actors with our favorite mutants name WTF is wrong with these people why can't they just pick up a comic book and say oh look this is how the story goes not just make one up and the actors in this movie were horrible and magneto at the end looks sooo polo gay and I am a die hard x men and comic fan but this was no bueno and yea I just saw it right now and even my wife that knows absolutely nothing of the comics thought it was not a good story and the action was very little to none but my ten and seven year olds said it was pretty good I let them have their own opinion but I think I'm going to educate them as they asked to read my comics


I don't recommend this movie at all.....this chick sucks in writing scripts

Marvel72, interesting....I don't think I have ever heard anyone comment on the continuity of this franchise in such a way before. Please, come by these X-Men articles more ofter, I'm sure I'm not the only one who cares so deeply about your opinion and have been hanging onto your every word since you started bashing this movie a month before filming started. Keep the intelligence coming please:)
