New X-Men: First Class Details Revealed

It never ceases to impress me that alongside the two finishing pieces in the Avengers prequel saga (Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger), Marvel has managed to find time to produce a new X-Men film, First Class, for release in cinemas this June. Speaking to IGN on the set of the prequel, James McAvoy, who portrays a younger version of Charles Xavier, revealed some brand new details on the plot and characters in his latest flick: "It's not really a reboot this, it is a prequel really, but you have set it in a completely different time and you are also taking these people [Professor X, Magneto, Mystique, Beast and Dr Moira McTaggert all return from the Bryan Singer trilogy, this time played by different actors] to a much earlier point in their personal and super development". On Xavier himself, McAvoy notes that now "he's definitely got an ego and a sex drive as well" (far apart from the far less subjective Patrick Stewart incarnation), and "we see why he can no longer walk and why he is in a wheelchair, and we'll find out why he lost his hair as well". Fans of the First Class comics best brace themselves though, as "[the script] messes with a lot of the chronology, it is utterly different from the comic". Will we see the split between Xavier's team and Erik Lenshrr/Magneto's brotherhood before the end of the film, though? The actor wouldn't say, but did reveal his own theory or hint- "I think Xavier thinks he can understand and fix everybody, which is ultimately wrong and proves the undoing for him and Erik."
