Much better photo's, yes? I imagine 20th Century Fox are on panic mode right now and have spent the last 24 hours scrambling around, trying to find something of
X-Men: First Class to show us that will erase the awful memory of those supposedly unfinished
"cast in costume" images. Here's what they have come up with - three exclusive new images they've sent to
The L.A. Times from this June's blockbuster that remind us that there's real characters in this thing and not just Power Rangers. From left to right; Caleb Landry Jones (Banshee), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique) Rose Bryne (Dr. Moira MacTaggert), Nicholas Hoult (Beast), James McAvoy (Xavier) and Lucas Till (Havoc). The second image (below) is of
Kevin Bacon (as the villain Sebastian Shaw) and
January Jones (Emma Frost) which you would be mistaken for presuming they were on some kind of chat show. And wow, strange fashion sense in the 60's, eh?
And finally, here's a very X-Men style image of Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto), no doubt enjoying a philosophical chat over a game of chess;
Director
Matthew Vaughn also gave some interesting quotes to the site, revealing that the film is still actually shooting and that he was finding the scale of the project particularly tough;
Were filming at the moment, weve a lot to get done... Ive never worked under such time pressure. The good thing about the independent world is I never even knew if I was going to get distribution. Im used to finishing a film and then crossing your fingers that someone is going to like it. This is totally doing it the other way around. Weve definitely got a release date and weve got to make it. Im at that stage where I feel like a boxer against the ropes... Im just throwing punches and taking them as they come and making sure I dont hit the canvas.
And then a quote for why we all love Matthew Vaughn;
With Green Lantern, I dont know about that one, I couldnt get my head around the trailer, to be honest look, I will say the following: X-Men as a brand is bigger than Captain America, Thor and the Green Lantern, all put together.
X-Men: First Class will open June 3rd. There's now
high-quality versions of yesterday's images but who needs them when you have these?
