Official Movie Synopsis

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.

The New image featuring Kevin Bacon – as Shaw, the leader of decadent mutant bastards, The Hellfire Club – and January Jones as the telepath Emma Frost in their snazzy secret lair. Looks like a set piece to a flick starring Seka, I can dig it! This is yet another indicator that Matthew Vaughn’s 60s-set prequel will have a visual flair that sets it apart from the previous X-movies. Hellfire Club Bio after the Jump.

Two new movie posters for “X-Men: First Class” have been released. These are more like characters posters and could pass for International posters but each posters shows what is to become of Charles Xavier and Magneto in the future.

Matthew Vaughn’s “X-Men: First Class” hits theaters on June 3rd and stars Rose Byrne, January Jones, Kevin Bacon, Nicholas Hoult, Jennifer Lawrence, Caleb Landry Jones, Lucas Till, Edi Gathegi, Jason Flemyng, Oliver Platt, Morgan Lily, Zoe Kravitz and Bill Bilner.

Out of all the superhero movies coming out this summer, I had low expectations for the new X-Men movie. With all the rumors of re-shoots, I had flashbacks of the ignominious failure that was Ratner’s foray into the franchise. X-Men Origins: Wolverine wasn’t exactly stellar either (Deadpool, WTF?!). Thankfully after watching the trailer, my faith is restored. I’ll admit, a lot of the characters don’t make any sense in the continuum (Pixie, Mystique & Havoc), hardly the “Original 5″, we know they are shoehorning in mutants left right and center. At the crux of it, we have the origins of Xavier and Magneto, and that’s why I’m pumped, Excelsior!

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 Lehnsherr 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 prevent nuclear 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.

The film stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Rose Byrne, January Jones, Oliver Platt, and Kevin Bacon. Matthew Vaughn (“Kick-Ass”) directs, and the producers are Lauren Shuler Donner, Simon Kinberg and Bryan Singer.
