I have been anxiously awaiting to see SOMETHING from this new movie in the x-men franchise. I get the impression that Marvel is making an intentional push with their movies this week seeing as how we’ve been seeing so many anticipated shots leaking on the web. First Captain America, then Thor, add a helping of Spider-Man and wrap things up with today’s serving of some X-Men.
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.
I’m really undecided about the look of the characters. They seem to maintain some elements from previous X-men films for familiarities sake but the characters look a lot older then I initially anticipated and I wasn’t expecting to see uniforms on the team. January Jones as Emma Frost seems to be everything that fans of the comics have hoped for and she “wears” the “costume” very well. Very very well. Nobody else seems to stand out to me but I hope to see some footage from the movie soon to get a better feel for the movie. Does this shot get you excited for the forthcoming film?
Anyone spot any clues or tidbits in this shot that I missed?
