X-MEN: FIRST CLASS will make its home video debut this Friday. In anticipation of the film's release, Fox has invited the comic book news site,
SuperHeroHype to a private screening, hosted in part by Lucas Till. After the film,
Hype was able to question Till a bit, and here's what he said.
ON THE POSSIBLE FUTURE OF HAVOK
I always try to plan things out, but they never work out the way I expect. They work out better than I expected, so I’m going to say there are a lot of different things they could do. I’m more excited about what they could do with the movie, there’s so much history and events they could work into. I’m curious. One little thing I’d like to do in the sequel is I’d like to see Hank make me some gauntlets to shoot out of my hands so I don’t have to sit in a constipated position or do hula hoop movements in the next one, although it did look pretty cool. Those are my little notes.
ABOUT THEIR COMIC BOOK 'EXPERT'
There was guy whose sole job was to keep us updated. He gave me this binder and he was very well-versed [in comics] and he had a personality to match. He was the comic book guy, but with an accent. I’m serious. He gave us these comics and my first exposure to Havok was him with Abdol, the Living Monolith. My favorite arc though was Vulcan, because Vulcan’s story was cool itself, I love revenge stories. But then, Havok comes in to try and stop him.
CONCERNING HIS AUDITION
At the time, I auditioned a number of times. I didn’t feel like I was going to get the role at any point, then I found out what the movie was about. They would give us generic sides, our characters were re-named, but it was obvious what we were auditioning for. We were not allowed to read the script. McAvoy told me he was only given a few pages at a time. We weren’t allowed to read anything, which I understand why. Auditioning for Havok was the coolest thing to me.
