The official synopsis of “X-Men: First Class” is this: “X-MEN: FIRST CLASS charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to prevent nuclear Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto\u2019s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.”<\/p>\n

The film stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Rose Byrne, January Jones, Oliver Platt, and Kevin Bacon, is directed by Matthew Vaughn (“Kick-Ass”), and produced by Lauren Shuler Donner, Simon Kinberg and Singer, who not only directed the first two “X-Men” movies, but also wrote the story for “First Class”. The film will be in theaters June 3, 2011.<\/p>\n
