X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

This isn't fresh news by any means; it really should have been posted a while back, but the cast kept growing larger, so I'm just dumping the whole group in one block.

X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, Kick-Ass) will attempt to elaborate on the relationship between Professor Xavier and Magneto. Presumably, the film will shine some light on how Professor X started Marvel Comics mutant superhero team the X-Men, which was first published in 1963. As mentioned, the cast keeps growing everyday, and looks supremely impressive.

After the break, see the cast in its entirety and the roles they're portraying.
