New X-men: First Class character posters featuring Mystique, Riptide, and Magneto!

Fox has done a remarkable job in pushing X-men: First Class for the international market. The foreign trailers have been the best by far, and the posters pretty slick as well. It's a smart move, considering the Marvel mutant team has always included a diverse mix of nationalities and plays well globally. Three more international posters for Matthew Vaughn's superhero prequel have been released, giving us a look at Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, and Alex Gonzalez as Riptide.


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. Starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Kevin Bacon, and January Jones, the film releases June 3!
