Roughly four weeks til it's release, promotion for Matthew Vaughn's prequel
X-Men: First Class is hitting hard. Recent issues of "F***" & French magazine "Mad Movies" are both covered with
First Class' mutants. While one cover uses previously seen images, the other offers a somewhat new look at Jennifer Lawrence as Raven "Mystique" Darkholme.
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. Starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Kevin Bacon, and January Jones, the film releases June 3!
