First Official Picture From X-Men: First Class
While I’ve given up pretty much all hope for X-Men: First Class to actually be true to the comics, I’ve decided to just enjoy the ride. Thus far the only images to appear online have been unofficial photos taken at a great distance from the subject matter. Yesterday an image appeared on MSN that was quickly taken down at the request of the studio. We’re not sure if it was just put up too early, or if it doesn’t represent the final look of the film, but it is interesting none the less.

According to Dark Horizons, the cast seen in this picture includes:
- Michael Fassbender as Magneto
- Rose Byrne as Moira MacTaggert
- January Jones as Emma Frost (aka the White Queen)
- Jason Flemyng as Azazel (aka Nightcrawler’s father)
- Nicholas Hoult as the Beast
- Lucas Till as Havoc
- Zoe Kravitz as Angel Salvadore
- Jennifer Lawrence as Raven Darkholme (aka Mystique)
- James McAvoy as Charles Xavier
Since this picture was ordered taken down by MSN, there’s no telling if things in this picture will change before they get up on the big screen, but my bet is that this is pretty close to final.
I’m not sure this line-up of team members could be more wrong if they tried, but it should still make for an interesting movie, and a potentially entertaining good time for all.
