After the release yesterday of two hideous new character posters for X-Men: First Class, which have been roundly pilloried and described by many as the worst posters they’ve seen in a long time, Fox has brought out a new photo from the film (via Facebook), which it has to be said, is much better. Take a look at it above.
The guy in the pic is Havok, played by Lucas Till. It’s not quite known how Havok fits into First Class, as traditionally he was Cyclops’ brother, but as this film is set in the 1960s, that wouldn’t make much sense. Some have said they may have made him his father, but producer Bryan Singer has suggested this version of the character isn’t related to Cyclops at all. Presumably though he’ll have the same powers as in the comics, where he can produce powerful plasma blasts, even if he has difficulty controlling them.
X-Men: First Class, starring James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, hits cinemas May 30th.
