Just like they promised, Fox has released the first trailer for X-Men: First Class via their Facebook page. If a legit talent like Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass, Layer Cake) weren’t directing this, the idea of an X-Men Babies prequel (cast rundown here) would sound pretty stupid. Likewise, the trailer is an almost equal mix of maybe this was a bad idea and maybe this will still be awesome (ahh, the old sex-with-a-stranger feeling).
As Durden astutely points out, this thing seems way behind schedule, considering it’s supposed to come out in June and they’re still shooting. And now that we have a trailer, it looks cobbled together from the bare minimum amount of footage. Seriously, is anyone out there excited by the “BEFORE HE WAS MAGNETO… HE WAS ERIC” opening? We get it, it’s a prequel. You might not want to push that angle so hard, considering the most famous movie prequel is still Star Wars. “BEFORE HE WAS DARTH VADER… HE WAS AN ANNOYING LITTLE KID.” Huh… well I guess I can see why you skipped that part of the story the first time around…
But then all of a sudden Kevin Bacon shows up, and Magneto starts pulling submarines out of the water and you’re like, “Hmm, well okay, perhaps this might be cool.” Though I still say Michael Fassbender should’ve played a new mutant, Michael F. Assbender. His powers would be self-explanatory.
"Quiet, I'm ass bending."

It doesn’t look horrible, but neither did the Wolverine trailer, and we all know how that turned out.
Basically, I am not impressed.
*adjusts glasses, chokes back complaints about how far this deviates from the comics*
My favorite Kevin Bacon movie of all time? It’s a tie… between “The Woodsman” and “The Air up There”.
God dammit, Pauly.
*throws “Sex Men: Fist Ass” manuscript into oil-drum fire, crawls into rain-soaked fridge box, gnaws on frozen rat*
I feel like such an ass for all the tuition money I wasted at Professor Xavier’s school for Doofusses : (
I think Michael Fassbender should have played the little known mutant R. W. Fassbender. His powers include the ability to ingest large amounts of opiates with out dying as well as the ability to keep villains at bay using Brechtian distancing techniques.
Little known, uanCa? Drunkards respect Angst essen seele auf in particular. We love homages to Sirk!
M.F. Assbender is Sam Jackson’s alias.
More like PIECE was never an option with that hair.
*snaps self out of window
Judging from the intensity with which Fassbender and McAvoy are staring at each other, Xavier ends up in the wheelchair after a tragic episode of anal-sex-with-magneto-gone-too-far.
Magneto can keep his ability to pull submarines out of the water. I’ll just use my powers to pull off the wire on mutant lady bras exposing deformed mutant titties.
Angst essen seele auf is overrated.
I’m more of a In einem Jahr mit 13 Monden fan myself.
Everyone should see that 10 minute scene of cows being slaughtered while that transsexual discusses her philosophy of love at least once before they die.
Juan, you’re wrong. Berlin Alexanderplatz is overrated, but Angst is not. As for the scene you mention, that was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this.
