Zoë Kravitz recently talked to Company Magazine (via Musicrooms.net) and shared some info on her training for the role of Angel Salvadore in X-Men: First Class.

"I’d never really worked out before so I had to start from scratch. I needed a really strong core because I do a lot of action sequences that are filmed using wires, which mean hanging from a harness for hours"

"I trained three or four times a week, plus I was on a programme which involved eating lots of vegetables and lean protein and doing circuit training. I also drank [special] shakes, which were like a power shot of organic veg, green tea and anti-oxidants to help me detox and burn fat. I guess it was like a superhero’s routine! It was fun, they got me in the best shape I’ve been in – super-toned and muscular but not too skinny – just like a superhero!"


X-Men: First Class is set to hit theatres on June 3!

I really hate to sound negative...I just don't see anything appealing in this movie/trailer yet. I may even wait for the DVD.

It seems we'll get great flying sequences for the first time on the x-franchise.

the previous movies were really poor in that sense.

One can truly say "THAT'S A FLY SISTA"! She's a beautiful girl... Her mother (LISA BONET) is married to Jason Mamoua(the new Conan). Her dad is Lenny Kravitz and she's lucky as hell and fine as hell too. I wish I was twenty years younger and a few million dollars richer.

If I keep seeing "boners" on this site, I'll stop coming here. It's annoying enough with:

1. Haters
2. The moron who keeps posting about saving the damned X-Men
3. Anyone who claims "first"

This site is going downhill very fast because of the users. The articles are very good, for the most part.

I feel your pain DW. Try to stop reading the comments for a few days. it usually helps. Most of these kids get very obnoxious in their pursuit of attention.

I wonder if they're in the Hellfire (strip) Club?

Does anyone remember in the comics when Sebastian Shaw hired a bunch of hot telepaths to be strippers in his club so he could spy on his patrons?

@ Darkmatter

What the hell do you think gives you the right to say that to CaptainAmerica? That was totally unnecessary. Dude states his excitement over a few films being released and you insult him like that?

Grow and get over yourself, son.

I think the choreography is being changed completely for First Class. Vaughn knows how to make epic fight scenes as well, so that's already a big improvement from the previous X-movies.
