After yesterday’s X-Men: Class photo that may or may not be real (editor’s note: the phrase “not authorized” does not denote that the image is fake), it looks like Fox has decided to let a few extra cats out of their respective bags with three brand new images – all of which look much better than the cast shot we previously saw.
With the above image, we see our new Xavier and Magneto (James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, respectively) playing chess which both fits the character’s dynamic and mutual respect as well as adds a callback/tad bit of foreshadow to the chess games they played in the X-Men films when played by Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan. That is – without a doubt – the best picture. You’ve also gotta love the symmetry between this shot and what is to come in the future in X-Men 2 (again, as seen in the above image).
Here, we get some January Jones/Emma Frost sitting on a couch with Kevin Bacon/Sebastian Shaw action.
Finally, we have a nice group shot showing what I can only assume is the “first class”, including (from left to right) Banshee (Caleb Landry Jones), a non-blue Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), Moira MacTaggert (Rose Byrne), a non-blue and fuzzy Beast (Nicholaus Holt) and Havok (Lucas Till). The two upfront are rather clearly – once again – McAvoy and Fassbender as Magneto and Xavier.
Suffice it to say, these pictures are MUCH better than yesterday’s image, even when it’s viewed in a much bigger version. Hopefully this will make people a tad more excited for the upcoming Matthew Vaughan film, because I can say with all honesty that everyone here at Multiversity wants the X-Men film to be a win. Here’s crossing our fingers.
