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
The Playlist for the following. While it seems like an extremely strange choice to include this modern day song in a movie which is set in the 1960's, it's believed that it will in fact be played during the credits. So here's hoping that there won't be an after-credits scene to stick around for!
X-Men: First Class is set to be released in the UK on June 1st and in the US on June 2nd.
