X-Men First Class Pic – January Jones as Emma Frost and Kevin Bacon’s Sebastian Shaw

We have a new and exclusive look for you today at just two of the iconic mutants from the epic prequel X-Men: First Class.

You know them as Mad Men actress January Jones (who also captivated opposite Liam Neeson in Unknown) and the infamous Mr. Kevin Bacon. Prepare to witness their big screen transformations into Emma Frost, The White Queen, a sultry psychic with a wardrobe of white, and Sebastian Shaw, The Black King, member of a secret society known as The Hellfire Club, made up of powerful mutants bent on world domination. Shaw can absorb kinetic energy expended upon him and transform it into raw strength he can in turn unleash upon others. Of course the royal code names here are the ones generally used in the comics.

The exclusive pic of the pair appeared in Empire Online and you can click the link to get the full story. The photo is set in The Hellfire Club’s “snazzy secret lair, [and] it’s yet another indicator that Matthew Vaughn’s 60s-set prequel will have a visual flair that sets it apart from the previous X-movies.”

Here at BSC we’ve been about as tenacious as The Wolverine (no, he won’t be included in First Class) in keeping up with the upcoming hero flick. We’ve got a great story, which includes actor James McAvoy’s interpretations of the film, we’ve got the spine-tingling trailer, and a look at the yummy promo art. Can I enroll in Xavier’s school already??
