Interesting, like the choice

Does that mean Apocalypse will be in it I wonder?

I hate Kevin Bacon LOL.

Wow interesting choice.

I think he can pull it off

He was pretty crazy in that one movie where his son got killed, Death Sentence

I am not happy about who's been choosen for Beast, I can't stand Nicholas Hoult.

no clue who that is

I like mutants so far they are casting though

He's got one of those faces I just want to smash to pieces, he was the kid from About A Boy and The Weatherman.

Is this a prequel or a relaunch?

I guess it's a prequel. It's about how the X-men first started with Cyclops,Beast,Jean Grey etc being taught by Xavier and Magneto at the school they built. If it's successful then there will obviously be sequels.

its a reboot, X Men First Class

I am not sure if it is a reboot, I have heard Fox talking about X-men 4. It could all depend on how successful this turns out to be.

This is another prequel. They have been talikng about doing an Origins: Magneto for a few years also.

ya its a prequel/reboot

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.

Yeah the Magneto movie has been in development for a while, not sure if that would work well as a solo movie.

I actually have four degrees of seperation from Kevin Bacon

1. Did a public access show in HS with Cameron Boyd
2. Who played Matt Testa on Sopranos with James Gandolfini
3. Who was in Fallen with Donald Sutherland
4. Who was in Animal House with Kevin Bacon

LOL

I figured I had some connection, but until I saw Fallen in '06 (came out about ten years before that), I realized how I had my connection.
