January Jones as Emma? Really? They went from Alice Eve to January Jones....ugh.

I'm interested in this being a "Silver Age" movie but other than that I've lost a lot of interest...

My thoughts exactly. I don't think January Jones is bad looking mind you but Alice Eve looks wise was perfect for the role imo.

Need a moment? Chew it over with Twix!

 

[creature4000]

This movie will fail!

 

[Spartan Rex]

Jason Issacs or Clive Owen should play Shaw

I miss Alice Eve... but i'm sure Jones will be good too. Eve was just perfect though.

What's up with that hat though??

 

[Darth Waller]

I've got a hankering from some marshmallows.

They could make January work....but from that pic I don't have the best of hopes that this:

is under that coat. The hat kind of reminds me of this:

You know the more I look at the pic of January Jones as Emma, the more I'm warming up to her. Still would have preferred Alice Eve though but at least January has Emma ice cold expression down pretty good. But damnit she better be waering a tight white corset under that jacket.

 

[The Mike]

Hendricks in your sig?

Susan Coffey. A model I was just made recently aware of.

But damnit she better be waering a tight white corset under that jacket.

I will be seriously upset if she doesn't look like a 2 cent slut under that coat...that is the Emma I know and love.

Spoiler Pic:

Why? Click:

Spoiler:

The most obvious thing we see in this photo is the cockpit of Blackbird, the famous jet flown by the X-Men. And while it does look like the jet has crashed, it could potentially just be being built by the crew for shooting in the future. Now that I think of it though, why would it be fully assembled on a beach? From these pics, it seems safe to say that the Blackbird crashes at some point in X-Men First Class, and that most of it will be completed with CGI – hence the huge green structure.

Well, that then begs this question: How far does X-Men First Class go into the X-Men history? We know that the film, which stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Rose Byrne, January Jones, and Kevin Bacon is about a young Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr before they became Professor X and Magneto and focuses on their friendship, powers and the events that lead to them becoming the leaders on either side of the battle for mutants. The inclusion of Blackbird, which is generally considered to be the X-Men’s main mode of transportation (in the movies, they called it the X-Jet), leads one to believe that the X-Men are pretty well established at some point in this movie.

Am I totally wrong in my assumption? Or does it make sense that Magneto and his Brotherhood would attack the X-Men and the Blackbird in this film? Could we be looking at one of the climactic battles?

Supposedly the trailer is 4-6 weeks away but it has apparently been screened.

Spoilers

Spoiler:

- The trailer opens with the 20th Century Fox logo which pans up as the two spotlight beams cross and form a white "X" on the left of the screen. A white circle goes around the "X" forming the X-Men logo, as Magneto's helmet comes up on the right.

- Patrick Stewart and Ian Mckellan voice over the opening lines about destiny and which side will you stand for as scenes of each in their previous X-Men movie roles flash until the entire screen flashes from white to black.

- A very young Xavier and Erik meet for the first time, followed by a different angle of the scene from the opening of X-Men in the concentration camp.

- Camera pans outside of an old castle-style building that greatly resembles the X-mansion. McAvoy and Fassbender are seen walking through the halls. The words "One wanted peace" flash by Xavier.

- Scene transitions to Erik yelling dramatically as metal tables in the room begin to float around him. Xavier and Mags shake hands with a tall man in a lab coat introduced as Dr. McCoy.

- The words "The other was too far gone" flash as a very pissed off Erik storms through a hallway killing guards as he passes them.

- Cut scene to what appears to be a red Nightcrawler with swords taking out a room full of people; the close up reveals Azazel's face.

- The Hellfire Club stand next to Xavier on a bed as Emma goes into diamond form. Olver Platt and Kevin Bacon were next to Emma in black aristocratic clothes, with Emma wearing the exact same outfit from the Wolverine and the X-Men cartoon.

- Mystigue on a bed with her skin turning black; Beast is shown transforming, with his feet growing and toes webbing and fur growing.

- Havok shoots a red beam of energy -- looks almost exactly like cyclops's eye beam, but larger -- from his chest (SIDE NOTE: Havok's powers in comics have always had a blue energy, this change may be to relate his character to Cyclops).

- It then shows Beast all blue and furry (looking almost exactly like Kelsey Grammer in make-up) in the pilot seat of a crashing jet, followed by several rockets flying towards an island.

- Xavier's face goes all CGI and his head begins to go bald as he mentally pulls a large ship that was sinking out of the water, as well as some smaller boats around it (seems to allude to Xavier have telekinesis).

- Back to Xavier (with hair) telling Erik he only wanted peace for him, and he replies there was never a chance for anyone to have that.

- Final scene: Erik picks up a black helmet, then he is shown from behind wearing a black and red suit (no cape or coat though) and the helmet. Screen cuts to black and the X-Men: First Class logo shows up (the one described above), then the release date.

So looks like this is our Emma look?

Seems to argue against the on set pic of her. I'm cautiously optimistic about this one.

 

[Darth_Fatso]

Her look in WATX-M is her modern look in Astonishing X-Men. I actually like that look but still I think the classic corset would be nice too. Maybe we'll see her in both outfits.
