UPDATED (better quality) Marvel Movie First Looks: Matthew Vaughn’s X-MEN FIRST CLASS cast photo

Whoever is in charge of leaking news and images over at the Marvel offices sure has been in overdrive lately.  In the last several days we’ve seen Andrew Garfield in his SPIDER-MAN suit, Chris Evans in full CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER regalia, and even a new THOR photo featuring Chris Hemsworth.  Today we get a look at another Marvel movie that KICK-ASS director Matthew Vaughn is helming… X-MEN FIRST CLASS.  Check out the small but easy to see photo below, in which you can see cast members Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Rose Byrne as Moira MacTaggert, January Jones as Emma Frost, Jason Flemyng as Azazel, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Lucas Till as Havoc, Zoe Kravitz as Angel Salvadore, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, and James McAvoy as Charles Xavier.  Also starring but not pictured are Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw, Oliver Platt as “Man in black”, and Ray Wise as Secretary of State of the United States.  Check out the image below, already generating mixed opinions from fans.  Are you excited about another X-movie?  Tell us in the comments.

Studio Synopsis: Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), 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.
