We have already seen the new pic of Shaw and Frost from Empire, now hear what the actors that will bring them to life in the movie have to say. Apparently Shaw's Hellfire Club was considered for the villains in X-Men 3 when Brian Singer was still on board but now the decadent group are getting their moment to shine.

Kevin Bacon on Sebastian Shaw..

"He's not a mustache twirler. He's a smooth talker and a manipulator. But he really believes that mutants are the master race and to get what he wants he will do whatever he has to do.


And what of his significantly different costume in this movie? The comics Shaw wears a faintly ridiculous 18th century get up..

"The movie's grounded. We went through different sideburn lengths but to have him dressed as Benjamin Franklin would have been weird. I don't have the legs for those tights anyway!"


January Jones plays Emma Frost, the infamously under dressed villain from the X-Men comics. She tells Empire about being nervous when she heard about the character's revealing outfits..

"Before I came here, I was frightened and curious. You can't just paint on an outfit! I only do projects set in the '60s with Men in the title! But I get to wear crazy outfits and fight and be telepathic. It's a lovely change of pace."


X-Men: First Class hits May 30th.

@loganaspatch- Emma started out as a villain with the hellfire club then became a member of the x-men.

I've recently started watching Mad Men and am enjoying the ever lovin' shit out of it.

But to go from Betty Draper to Emma Frost, I don't know. She's very good as Betty, so that might cloud my judgement.

What else has she been in?

QUESTION: HOW DOES PROFESSOR X LOSE HIS HAIR AND END UP IN A WHEELCHAIR???


never really knew, but I pray that (BOTH!) happen somehow in this new movie...

My guess is he breaks his back saving Magneto somehow...? But where's that hair disappear to?? lol

Bacon looks noting like Shaw. They could have at least gave him the muttonchops. I don't get that casting choice at all.
