X-Men First Class Reviews, Interviews & More

Big news for fans of the X-Men graphic novels and film franchise—director Bryan Singer, who is currently at work on X-Men: Days of Future Past (the film that will bridge the original film series to the new X-Men: First Class continuity via time travel and alternate timelines), has announced the addition of a few classic X-Men characters...

We already know that we'll be seeing our fair share of mutants from two different timelines in Bryan Singer's monstrous movie X-Men: Days of Future Past. After he revealed the big picture that showed off our main list of mutants, many went under the assumption that we wouldn't see any of them in full costume until production was nearly wrapped. Today Bryan...

Being able to put together a proper prequel for a well known property is a tricky thing to do. It's normally a risk to put together a movie, but you're working with more obstacles when it comes to the prequels game. The folks making the picture are dealing not only with expanding on an established fictional world but handling a good chunk of money in order to create it. There's a lot of...

If you can recall, Bryan Singer’s X-Men and X2 were solid-to-great entries into the pantheon of superhero films.  Then, Singer left the franchise to helm the continuation of the Superman franchise (give us the water-logged Superman Returns), leaving Brett Ratner to direct the...

Thus far, the casting for Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past has consisted solely of members from both X-Men franchises: the original trilogy’s Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan, Ellen Page, Anna Paquin, and Shawn Ashmore will be joining forces with Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, and...

Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, the highly anticipated sequel to Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class, is set to bridge the gap between the first three X-Men films and First Class.  As such, Days of Future Past is set to feature an influx of cast members from the original trilogy (Patrick Stewart, Hugh...

2012 has been a banner year for Nerd-dom—in addition to Joss Whedon essentially overtaking the universe with The Avengers, the James Bond franchise scoring one of its best entries, and news that a new Star Wars trilogy was happening, Bryan Singer announced that he was returning to the X-Men film franchise to direct X-Men: Days of Future Past, the...

This summer, we saw a rare thing: 20th Century Fox making good genre pictures. The home of Star Wars, the last couple years have seen the studio releasing junk like The Day the Earth Stood Still and Wolverine. Films that were so worked over they satisfied few. This summer they made X-Men: First...

2011 was the year of the indie. The majority of adaptations and blockbusters all fell completely flat, and numerous big studio dramas were missing that something special. Normally I'm one to say that every year is a great year, but this is no There Will be Blood Vs. No Country for Old Men, or even Moon Vs. Inglourious Bastards. That being said, the end of...

X-Men has been a decades-long favorite of the Marvel comic books, so it's no surprise to see relaunch X-Men: First Class take the No. 1 spot in theaters on its opening weekend. James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender led the superhero film's stellar cast, and though the gross wasn't as high as we've seen in past weekends, it's admirable to see...

The X-Men are back with their latest edition X-Men: First Class, a prequel to all of the other X-men films showing us the origins of the gang. Rest assured that walking into this film you can spit out the awful taste of Wolverine and be excited take everything First Class has to offer. The quite film obviously has a much stronger script,...

After last weekends recording breaking box office returns, X-Men: First Class will try to prove that there is still life left in the X-Men franchise while competing against memorial day hold overs The Hangover 2, Kung Fu Panda 2. In all it should be a solid weekend at the box office. Check out our...

Anyone who isn’t living in a cave and hasn’t seen the X-Men: First Class trailer knows that the prequel film is set in 1962 during the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis—which is inarguably cool.  And now, according to Dark Horizons, producer Bryan Singer is hinting that the film’s sequels might skip ahead to the ‘70s, and then the ‘80s (because if there’s one thing fans...

After Wolverine, there was some hope that 20th Century Fox was going to steer their X-Men franchise into better hands when writer/director Matthew Vaughn took the helm for X-Men: First Class. With a cast including Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, January Jones, and academy award nominee Jennifer Lawrence, if...

Earlier today we posted two horrible posters from X-Men First Class. They featured Charles and Erik aka Professor X and Magneto, and they were some of the worst one sheets we've ever seen. We think the folks over at 20th Century Fox picked up on the scathing response of fans and quickly decided to make up for it. Over on the official X-Men Movie Facebook Page, they've...

After seeing the international character posters for 20th Century Fox's X-Men First Class, we thought domestic audiences would be in for a treat. The one sheets featured Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr before they became the legends Professor X and Magneto and they looked great! Yesterday evening, the studio decided to release the U.S. versions of...

A new photo has been released from X-Men First Class, and it features two members of the villainous Hellfire Club. The heads of this elite group are Sebastian Shaw and Emma Frost, as played by Kevin Bacon and January Jones. This image debuted over on Empire, and it has an interesting tone to say the least. Check out the full photo...

Two posters have been released for X-Men First Class and they highlight the leaders of the team, Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr. The characters are portrayed by James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender respectively and they look great in the roles. The following posters come courtesy of Film Z, and they pay homage to both the past and future. Check out the images...

After a ridiculously long wait, 20th Century Fox finally released a trailer for X-Men First Class and there was a lot to take in. Even though the franchise has been given a facelift with newer, younger actors, the action is still there and the trouble is still brewing. If the trailer moved a little too fast for you, we've got plenty of screencaps that will give you a...

After a long and tedious wait, 20th Century Fox has released the trailer for their comic adaptation, X-Men: First Class. The film is directed by Matthew Vaughn, who was previously hired to helm X-Men: The Last Stand but had to back out for personal reasons. Five years after that travesty, he's making it up to us by tackling the X-Men...
