What’s particularly strange about the timing is that Vaughn hasn’t finished shooting the movie, which Fox has slated for release on June 3, 2011, according to his recent interview with theLA Times. ”I’m at that stage where I feel like a boxer against the ropes,” said Vaughn, who has had the luxury of his own pace on his previous films likeKick-AssandStardustdue to independent financing. But this is Vaughn’s step into the big leagues of comic book fantasy, an opportunity he passed on twice before when offered directing duties on X-Men: The Last StandandThor.“I’m just throwing punches and taking them as they come and making sure I don’t hit the canvas.”
But Vaughn isn’t the only one talking aboutFirst Class, a quasi-prequel set in the swinging’60s and centered on the divergence relationship between Charles Xavier— a.k.a. Professor X and portrayed byJames McAvoy— and Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto), played byMichael Fassbender. ToMSN, Fassbender said of Magneto,“He’s an extremist, and that’s always a dangerous place to be. By the time we leave him at the end of this movie, he’s become very clear about what he wants and his decisions and his game plan.” He also assured fans his costume (and helmet) stays true to the purple and red of the comics.
Kevin Baconalso had plenty to say toMoviefoneabout his villainous character Sebastian Shaw, the leader of the rival Hellfire Club that includes the chest Emma Frost (January Jones, pictured below). ”You don’t see much {of his backstory} in the movie, but he’s kind of a self-made man,” Bacon explained. ”He lost his father as a young man, made his first million by the time he was 30 and first billion by time he was 40. He’s a very powerful billionaire and also, as it turns out, a mutant. He’s the leader of the Hellfire Club, which is a nightclub for the rich and extremely powerful. And he has a plot to take over the world, so that’s really fun. He’s incredibly good at manipulating people.”
Bacon continued by saying his look and costume differs from the classic look of Shaw, typically drawn with a ponytail and mutton chops. He also sets the stage for the conflict, saying it takes place during the Cuban Missile Crisis but before the key Civil Rights movement often linked to the mutants’ plight.
20-year-old rising star (and potential Oscar nominee)Jennifer Lawrencespilled about being painted blue every day to play Mystique. She told theHollywood Reportershe spent nearly half of the five month shoot enduring a diet and eight hours of full-body make-up.“Those girls and I got so close. They were painting me naked every day for months. It was kind of like going to a really bizarre sleepover.”
