First Official Trailer for Matthew Vaughn’s X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

The first official trailer has arrived for director Matthew Vaughn’s prequel to the X-Men franchise, titled X-Men: First Class. Hitting theaters June 3rd, X-Men: First Class stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Rose Byrne, January Jones, Oliver Platt, and Kevin Bacon.

Released via Facebook, X-Men First Class is everything we have been hoping for. This looks like an entertaining prequel to the X-Men franchise which hasn’t had a film since 2006 (If you don’t count Wolverine.) Giving us an origin story of when Professor X was Charles and Magneto was Erik is a brilliant way to start this trailer and I truly hope the hype lives up to the film.

X-Men: First Class arrives in theaters on June 3rd. Watch this first official trailer for the movie below.

SYNOPSIS: 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’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.
