X-Men First Class movie

[Jo Dawn]

Kevin Bacon is, I believe, playing Sebastian Shaw (thanks, bro).

[The Clerk]

Welcome.

Also; Cyclops may not be in it now.

[Raph's Girl]

Current casting for this film:

James McAvoy as Prof Xavier
Michael Fassbender as Magneto
Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw
Alice Eve as Emma Frost
Nicholas Hoult as Hank McCoy
Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique
Caleb Landry Jones as Banshee
Lucas Till as Havok
Edi Gathegi as Darwin
Jason Flemyng as Azazel

With the casting of Azazel it looks like we'll be seeing Nightcrawler's origin.

Also Rose Byrne is currently in negotiations for the role of Moira. Well at least she has red hair and is of Scottish descent...

Here's an update on the casting. Morgan Lily has been cast as a Young version of Mystique. If you don't know who she is, Shes the little girl from the movie 2012.

Report I just read has "Madmen's" January Jones for Emma Frost.

Young Mystique?

With the aditions of Young Mystique and Azazel this movie is starting to sound more and more like X-Men Origins: Nightcrawler

[Jo Dawn]

Yeah, young Mystique has been on the imdb list for a week or so now. I'm not quite sure what to think of that, heh.

Plus, I think almost anyone would be better for Emma than who they originally had. Though the timing of her being older in the 'young' movie kind of confuses me, since she was young in Wolverine (and mistakenly blonde. Young Emma has brown hair. The blonde is unsurprisingly bottle color, which wasn't used until she was like 16).

[Ninjinister]

Wasn't it said that First Class wasn't going to be in the same continuity of the other 4 movies? Or was that revoked?


Either way, looking at the cast list, Bacon's the only one I recognize by name. Oi. Not a terrible thing, though, because I learned of many actors through the X-Men series.

Alice Eve, who was ORIGINALLY gonna play Emma, basically quit cuz she didn't like some script changes. Good for her.

Now she's up for the role of Invisible Woman in Fantastic Four: Reborn (who thought that title up? ). Plus she might be a Thor villain (a minor roll) in the Avengers film. So either Enchantress or Hela.

Our first look at the First Class:



From left to right:
Michael Fassbender as Magneto
Rose Byrne as Moira MacTaggert
January Jones as Emma Frost
Jason Flemyng as Azazel (Nightcrawler's daddy)
Nicholas Hoult as Beast (he's hidden in the shadows. You can kinda see part of his face)
Lucas Till as Havok
Zoe Kravitz as Angel
Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique
James McAvoy as Professor Charles Xavier

This cast makes no sense at all....

Probably...Marvel Comics....In the 90's... With- - - Heroes Reborn.

The costumes have colors!

Fassbender and McAvoy... We'll see, we'll see. beat looks terrible (of what we can see thought), looks like a wrinkled version of X2 Nightcrawler.

Wish they just did a movie of the original team and their epic fight against magneto, and at the end they could show or hint about the second team. then they could even throw in a Wolvie cameo since he's been the main character in every f*cking X-Men movie. But I guess Fox knows best, hurr hurr.

Someone gotta attack McAvoy with a Shaver

Fassbender is a fantastic actor and almost perfect as a young Magneto. McAvoy, while a great actor...can't say I'm really sold on him as Xavier. Could go either way.

Matthew Vaughn is whose really giving me hope for this movie to be good. He's 3 for 3 right now, and really seems to know what he's doing, especially when it comes to movies based on previous source material.

Bring on the trailer.

Is this supposed to have any ties with the Xmen movies? I hope not..

No. It's a reboot.

No, actually it's a prequel, so yes; ties to the previous ones.

No. It's a prequel. They've even gone so far as to...

Spoiler:

Recreate the opening scene of the first X-Men movie shot for shot, but with new actors and longer.

well either way it makes no sense at all. We get Havok but not Cyclops? We get Angel even tho she's part of the new generation in the comics (wonder if Beak will show up too?).

But hey... we get Nightcrawler's origin....so there's that...

It's like you've never seen any of te previous X-Men films. When have they ever stuck close to the comics? Why start now? They're an entirely different entity working in Bryan Singer's own universe. Get over it.
