A new Russian Trailer has shown up online for X-Men: First Class, featuring plenty of new footage Matthew Vaughn’s mutant prequel, including Hank McCoy (Nicholas Hoult) turning into the blue Beast and Banshee using his sonic blast. It all looks pretty cool, even if there aren’t perhaps as many effects as you’d expect for a big summer movie – but fear not, it’s probably because with the movie on a tight schedule, not many are ready yet.
Here’s the film’s synopsis: ‘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.’
X-Men: First Class hits cinemas June 3rd, 2011.
