X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

Here's the first, terrible look at what the characters will look like in Matthew Vaughn's new mutant flick. From left to right: Michael Fassbender (Magneto), Rose Byrne (Moira McTaggert), January Jones (Emma Frost), Jason Flemying (Azazel), Nicolas Hoult (Beast), Lucas Till (Havoc), Zoƫ Kravitz (Angel Salvatore), Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), and James McAvoy (Professor Xavier).

Other than Jones, it's tough to find a lot to like here; this coming from a true X-Men fan. I think it's only fair to wait for a bigger, higher resolution picture to emerge before passing judgement. Vaughn's vision pits the Marvel heroes and villains in the 1960's, of which I'm digging. Apparently, Taylor Lautner--who all the teenage girls recognize as the hairless werewolf from the Twilight Saga--was close to signing a role, but had to opt out due to a conflict. There is a God.

With Class hitting theatres June 3, 2011, expect some moving pictures in the near future.

Ka-pow!
