20th Century Fox has released the official plot description for Matthew Vaughn's mutant prequel, X-men: First Class. It pretty much confirms what we already knew and have seen. I still think this could possibly be the best X-men movie yet....with the possible exception of X2.
"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 Lensherr 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 stop 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."
Set to roll into theaters on June 3rd 2011, X-men: First Class stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Kevin Bacon, January Jones, Rose Byrne, Nicholas Hoult, Zoe Kravitz, and Oliver Platt.
