Lucas Till Answers X-Men: First Class Fan Questions!

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 Lehnsherr 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.

Who is your favorite super hero, and why?

My favorite superhero has always been Batman. Although being a billionaire is nearly impossible for myself, it's still a lot easier than being born an alien or exposing myself to radioactive waste and hoping for the best.

Why did you decide to play the role of Havok?

I decided to play the role of Havok after an extensive audition process and wanting to be a superhero my entire life and seeing unemployment on the "less than" side of the inequality.

What was it like to play a character like Havok, having to live up to being the brother of Cyclops?

To play Havok is the chance of a lifetime, or at least until they recast me in the next one, but seriously it's a dream fulfilled to step into Alex Summers' shoes.

Do you enjoy the power you have in this movie, and if you could have any power you wanted which would you choose?

I love the power Havok possesses so much, but i have the feeling I wouldn't have as much control as he would so I'll say I would rather have the power to fly. Always have wanted to control flight on my own.

Will Havok be a team leader like Cyclops or more rebellious and wild like in the comics?

I would say the character you find in this movie will be more reminiscent of the comic version. That's why he's Havok and not Cyclops.
