New X-Men: First Class Posters Revealed

X-Men: First Class is on its way to cinemas this June, and now we have the first two character posters of Charles Xavier and Eric Lehnsherr. The film focuses on these protagonists as they discover their mutant powers and begin to form a team who can stand against the humans who think them to be abominations and the villainous Hellfire Club threatening to bring about Armageddon, before the X-Men and the Brotherhood split apart for an eternal battle of good versus evil. In the poster to the left, we see Charles (James McAvoy) outside of the future residence of the titular band of heroes, Xavier Mansion, with a reflection below him of his future self (Patrick Stewart) and the words "Before He Was Professor X, He Was Charles Xavier" in the sky above him. A similar image of Michael Fassbender and Ian McKellen's respective Magnetos can be found at this link- http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/at-the-movies/a306534/a-pair-of-x-men-first-class-posters.html- with the mutant who can control metal standing outside the concentration camp that his colleague Xavier saves him from in the film's opening. My initial impressions of the First Class trailer weren't good, but these posters look relatively promising, and all will be revealed in my full review of the movie coming in June!
