Analyzing The ‘X-Men: First Class’ Trailer

X-Men: First Class

Thursday gave us our first look at the trailer for X-Men: First Class, the next in the popular series of X-Men movies. The new movie, directed by Matthew Vaughn (Stardust, Kick-Ass), places the adventures in the early days of the team, giving us a look at a still-walking Charles Xavier (James McAvoy), a not yet completely evil Magneto (Michael Fassbender), and the first team of X-Men.

The first interesting thing to me is the trailer’s use of footage from the earlier X-Men films while setting the film firmly during the 1960s and the Cuban Missile Crisis. I can’t decide if they want the new film to stand on its own, or if they want to make this part of the earlier series. I can see how they could fit a young Beast into the movie, with the older version that appears in X3, but I am curious if they will try to match Emma Frost’s (January Jones) appearance in this film with the character’s appearance in Wolverine: Origins, or if they will just ignore it. As for setting the story during the Cuban Missile Crisis, I kind of wish they had set it a few years later and tied it into the first Apollo launch, as a nod to the original X-Men #1.

‘Twilight’ Star Edi Gathegi Cast As Darwin In ‘X-Men: First Class’

Vactor   |

If you’re like me, you often stay awake at night, wondering if those wonderful Twilight Saga fans are also fans of the Uncanny X-Men. I haven’t come to a solid conclusion as of yet, but if there is a contingent of X-Men/Twilight fans, have I got new for you!

Edi Gathegi (Laurent in the Twilight films) has become the latest actor to join Matthew Vaughn‘s X-Men: First Class. Gathegi will be playing the young mutant, Darwin. As you X-fanatics know, Darwin’s mutant ability is to reactively evolve. This means he’s able to grow gills to breathe with while underwater, become fire retardant when exposed to flames, if he sees M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender, he goes blind, saving him from viewing that it.

The Darwin character first appeared in X-Men: Deadly Genesis, a comic book arc that revealed the identity of the third Summers brother to be Vulcan. Darwin was a former friend of Vulcan’s, and ends up teaming with him as part of a rescue operation to save Cyclops and company from impending doom on Krakoa, the Living Island. The mission was a huge disaster and led to the team’s apparent demise, but Vulcan and Darwin manage to survive the incident.
