X-Men: First Class looks cleavage-y
01.19.11
UPDATE: Matthew Vaughn says the picture is a fake.
From ToplessRobot via GammaSquad comes the first cast photo of all the X-Men from the prequel, X-Men: First Class, being directed by Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass). The obvious title would’ve been X-Men Kids, but oh no, God forbid anyone listen to me.
From left, that’s Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Rose Byrne as Dr. Moira McTaggert, January Jones as Emma Frost, Jason Flemyng as Azazel, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Lucas Till as Havok, Zoe Kravitz (yes, Lenny’s daughter — how many black people named “Kravitz” do you know?) as Angel Salvadore, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, and James McAvoy as Professor Xavier.
Since they covered up all the ladies and cropped the dudes above the crotch (tisk, tisk, I thought this was a superhero movie), not to mention covering my poor angel (and dynamite actress) Jennifer Lawrence with blue paint, January Jones is the clear standout:
Jones plays Emma Frost, whose superpower, according to my research, is looking like a Playmate from the 70s. (Her mutation? Great boobs.) Now, a lot has been made of January Jones’ tendency to look plain on certain occasions, when clearly, other times, like this one, she looks fantastic. My working theory is that she tends to look great when she wears something that exposes the crack in her boobs. But of course, there’s still a lot of work to be done. (*puts on safety goggles, heats graduated cylinder over bunsen burner*) …And now we wait.

Zoe Kravitz’s powers are flying with insect wings, sh*tting out fly-eggs, and puking acid according to the wiki.
To quote Donald Glover: “I have the strangest boner right now”.
Maybe we will get to see Azazel and Mystique get it on to make/conceive future X-Man Nightcrawler! (The Mighty Feklahr assumes Mystique will have to morph into Justin Bieber to make it a go, though.)
Tits-those aren’t super-powers…they’re SUPER AWESOME!
I hate to be one of those nerds who complains about inaccuracies in comic book movies, but oh god, there is so much wrong here. My inner 10-year-old is crying.
At least Emma Frost looks appropriately whorish.
tyBoo-The Mighty Feklahr almost went that route. He could destroy this premise entirely with His comic knowledge, but the damage to His credibility would be even more severe.
January Jones must be cold. Someone should offer her a coat.
Unless snake blood or some other malarky is part of her story. Never mind.
More like January BONEs, amIright? *quietly backs out of room*
The thing is, I don’t mind changes if they make for a good movie. The first two films managed that. And maybe this will.
But right now, it just looks like they screwed up the continuity so much that they have nothing to work with and got stuck using whatever was left over from the other movies.
Should’ve just rebooted it.
@Patty I thought this WAS a reboot, this is a direct prequel?
Taking out of context, that picture could be the coming attraction poster for Burning Man 2011.
Looks like Matthew Vaughn could’ve saved a bit of money if they just hired Vince to play Beast
The Film is expected to outperform it’s competition, X-men:Coach, which is just 98 minutes of Wolverine and Colussus trying to get through a TSA screening.
Bex, I think that’s the Wolverine movie. Either way, this movie looks like a big pile of WTF.
They look like they’re waiting angrily for the power company to show up.
Not slutty enough.
I love red Christian Bale. Way better than Jesus Christian Bale.
