January 19, 2011 - X-Men: First Class / 3 new photos and interview
Scooped on Wednesday, January 19, 2011
Three new images from the film have debuted on Hero Complex, the genre blog of The Los Angeles Times newspaper, showing better looks of the movie's heroes and the first look at Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw (opposite January Jones as Emma Frost, to the left.)
There's also some quotes from Matthew Vaughn, the film's director, on the impact the X-Men franchise has to the comic book movie landscape. "With Green Lantern, I don’t know about that one, I couldn’t 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."
The blog also got a quote from James McAvoy, the new Charles Xavier, on how he sees First Class within the X-Men pantheon of movies. "This isn't a reboot, so I'm not replacing anyone, in which case you might want to try to be as different as possible and stay away from what had been done before," McAvoy said. "This is a prequel, so I'm the same character, just younger, but the challenge for me – and for Michael — is to show the same person in a different place in their life; to show someone before they’re this bad guy, before they're this saint. Charles wasn't always a … monk, this selfless, sexless monk that he becomes."
