X-MEN: FIRST CLASS (2011)
Set in 1962. Mutant supremacist Sebastian Shaw (Bacon) plots to manipulate the world towards nuclear armageddon. Genetics expert Charles Xavier (McAvoy) joins forces with Shaw’s one-time protégé (or rather, test subject) Erik Lehnsherr (Fassbender), both overseen by a secret US government organisation, to try and stop him.
Matthew Vaughn’s movie, set for release on June 3rd, will focus on Xavier and Magneto (Michael Fassbender) as they work together with other mutants to stop the Hellfire Club, an international social club for wealthy elites who seek to influence world events to their own agenda. Kevin Bacon will play the leader, Sebastian Shaw, along with January Jones as Emma Frost. It fits right in with Bryan Singer’s first two X-Men films and is probably the second best film in the series next to X-Men United
X-MEN: First Class is easily one of my most anticipated movies this summer.
