Cinemimi.Satureday January 22,2011]The first cast images from the X-Men prequel have been released.
Among the images are a sneak peek at James McAvoy as Charles Xavier, prior to his transformation into Professor X.
Also featured is Michael Fassbender as Magneto, aka Erik Lensherr.
X-Men: First Class, directed by Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass), hits UK cinemas on 2 June.
It tells the story of how Xavier and Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, after discovering their powers for the first time.
Before they became arch enemies, the pair were close friends, working together with other mutants to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-Men.
