20th Century Fox has unleashed the first bunch of character trailers for the upcoming comic adaptation X-Men: First Class. The characters are Banshee, Havok and Beast. The movie hits theaters in just under a month, taking Professor X and Magneto back to their early days and introducing a new group of mutants to the live-action “X-Men” universe.
Banshee Played by Caleb Landry Jones, is Sean Cassidy, whose power manifests itself in a powerful “sonic scream” that he can use as a weapon or a method of flight.
Havok Played by Lucas Till, is Alex Summers, he is able to generate powerful “plasma blasts” that he has difficulty controlling. He’s eventually outfitted with a uniform that allows him to focus the energy he releases from the his body into a powerful beam.
Beast played by Nicholas Hoult, is Hank McCoy, he reveals the true nature of his mutation in the above trailer, and we get a peek at the drastic changes he underwent in his early years with Charles Xavier.
Official 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 Lehnsherr 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 prevent nuclear 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.
