I’m not sure who is behind the design team at Twentieth Century Fox’s X-MEN FIRST CLASS, but I’m loving just about everything I’ve seen so far. The simple-but-effective “logo” poster far surpassed the previous X-MEN movie marketing, and today we get two new posters, featuring stars James McAvoy (as Charles Xavier) and Michael Fassbender (and Erik Lensherr). Of course, these two are playing the characters that eventually become Professor X and Magneto, and the posters do a nice job of subtly explaining that. Check ’em out below and tell us your thoughts in the comments. Are you excited about this new retro X-movie? As excited as we are??

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.
