Fox announced yesterday that the first trailer for Matthew Vaughn's upcoming superhero prequel X-Men: First Class would make its way online today and sure enough, following an agonising few hours for X-Men fans, the wait is finally over. The film, which is produced by Bryan Singer and written by Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass), Josh Schwartz (Chuck), Jamie Moss (Rise of the Apes), Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz (Thor), explores the origins of Professor Xavier's (James McAvoy) X-Men and his falling out with one-time buddy Magneto (Michael Fassbender). Joining McAvoy and Fassbender in the cast are Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw, Rose Byrne as Moira MacTaggert, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, January Jones as Emma Frost, Jennfier Lawrence as Mystique, Jason Flemyng as Azazel, Lucas Till as Havok, Zoë Kravitz as Angel Salvadore, Ray Wise as the US Secretary of State and Oliver Platt as the Man in Black.
Check out the official synopsis and trailer...
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.
X-Men: First Class is set for release on June 2nd in the UK, with a North American release the following day.
