X-Men First Class Team Image

Poor X-Men. Lately it seems like news concerning Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle and The Avengers filming in New Mexico has stolen most of the super-hero thunder.

That is the case no more. Collider came up with some truly awesome images of the new (well, actually old) generation of heroic mutants, including the above ‘class photo’ for the heroes of X-Men: First Class.

From left to right, you can see Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Rose Byrne as Dr. Moira MacTaggert, January Jones as Emma Frost, Jason Flemyng as Azazel, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Lucas Till as Havoc, Zoe Kravitz as Angel Salvadore, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, and James McAvoy as Professor X.

Appearing in the movie, but not included in the photo, are Kevin Bacon, Oliver Platt, Edi Gathegi, and Zoe Kravitz.

If the pic isn’t enough to snare you then check out the official synopsis of the movie. It’s been in the comics and mentioned in the film but X-Men: First Class will show for the first time how two good friends end up being bitter enemies.

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, following the classic Marvel mythology, charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga. 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. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.
