Matthew Vaughn Updates X-Men: First Class

A part of me has hope for this as I like Matthew Vaughn but I know it will most likely be a mess.

Still looking forward to the trailer though.

cant wait for the tv spot!

is this gonna have a tv spot for the super bowl as well?

lol @ this movie

even if this sucks il still like vaughn because Kick Ass was so good.

LMAO @ THIS MOVIE

I've been an x-men fan for a long time and I gotta say, I am excited for this. Fassbender as Magneto, vaughn directing, and characters I haven't seen for THREE movies?! count me in.

Great work Brent! And yeah, I hope FOX will release some footage so we can finally see what to expect!

The only way they can fix this is introducing Apocalypse as he was altering the time-line.

am i the only one that thinks is hilarous, that this Fox piece of crap is sanding in teh shadow of Marvel's Captian America and Thor?

To quote Cyclops... "Cool BEAMS!"

YeaOkYea, whatever the fans like or hate the concept of this prequel or some of the characters on this, one thing all of us will enjoy is the action scenes.

Well see Magneto, Havok, Emma Frost, Beast, Mystique and more. fighting here and there, so it will be pretty entertaining.

I wonder how Havok's power will look.
That should be interesting. They used to draw that looking so cool with like rings of energy and then the beam was wide and eratic.

I bet it won't look anything like that, but it would be great if it did

@Josh: Thanks, it's good to be back! I see you and the gang have been holding down the fort while I worked for the man!

@VictorHugo: I would love to see Apocalypse, but this franchise is too grounded in reality—as ridiculous as that is to say considering they are all mutants—for an over-the-top villain like that.

@weneedrevelation: Right? That Magneto helmet kills the helmet in the trilogy.

@CaptainProg: It wasn't up to Vaughn which characters he used; Bryan Singer came up with the story that Goldman put into script form.

I've heard/read a lot of negative stuff about First Class already, which I think is unfair since the movie isn't even out yet. Here are my thoughts on it so far:

• You can't expect it to fall in line with the comics since it's a prequel to the original trilogy, which were also not in line with the comics.
• Matthew Vaughn is a great director. Kick-Ass was great (except the whole jetpack scene at the end—I've still got a problem with that) and his other movies, both as a producer (Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch) and as a director (Layer Cake, Stardust) were all really decent.
• James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender are both great actors and the sh*t in their own ways. If the story focuses on them and their performances, it has a chance to be good.
• C'mon, Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw? That's f*cking awesome! Bacon will kill it!

What I am concerned about right now is one thing:

• Time. They are only four months away from the premiere and they just finsished the reshoots and pick-ups?!? Panic!

How many years will we have to wait before they do a proper xmen reboot without the world that singer made. I frickin love the first two and I may be alone but wolverine was not terrible, repeat "not terrible". There is far too much that they have changed and thrown continuity out the window it's time to start a new, where havoc is really cyclop's little brother. The only thing I like about this movie is magneto his story needs to be told and this is the closest thing we're gonna get for a while. The reboot is essential if we wanna see a mutant in the marvel universe " scarlette witch for avengers two"!!

MAGNETOS NOSE GUARD LOOKS BENT! LOL! WHAT A JOKE!

If they just get X3 out of continuity, redo some of X-Men Origins (like my X-Men Origins Fan Fic, How It Should Have Been) and make sure The Wolverine is good and faithful, then maybe the series will have hope.
X-Men and X2 are still 2 of my favourite CBMs to date, I've said it before and I'll say it again: Hugh Jackman IS Wolverine in my eyes. The series is in a bad place, but it's still redeemable... I wish Marvel and Fox could come to an arrangement where Marvel Studios produces the rest of the series with the same cast, etc. but it's distributed by Fox.

@JacksonVegaIII I hope you're right!

@ Brent you made some good points that i hadn't thought of yet. like the fact that its a prequel based on a trilogy that didn't stick to the original anyways.

Don't know. I think this could be good. Although we all know "The First Class" had Iceman, Cyclops, Beast, Ms.Marvel and Angel. They only have Beast here.
Really looking forward to seeing what Mr. Aranofsky does with The Wolverine.
