Yeah what Christopher said. It originally was done as an adaption of Jeff Parker's First Class comic. It's been since confirmed that some of Magneto's story was taken from the abandoned "X-Men Origins Magneto" and incorporated into his treatment.
I actually don't find the X-Men: First Class title especially appealing, mostly because the second part of the title is rather bland and doesn't provide much clear information. It does vaguely suggest that this might be about a beginning or an origin or something, but not very explicitly, and then there is the idea that it might be about a lesson or training, but that's not very exciting. Then I guess there is the (perhaps unintentional) connotation that the film will be "first class," "top of the line" or "classy" or whatever, but that's cheesy.
Overall I'm not sure why this movie wasn't turned into a reboot, rather than a prequel, marketed as such and given a more catchy title. But whatever, sweet trailer![]()
Because Bryan Singer wanted to do a prequel. He's heavily invested in his versions of Xavier and Magneto and had more that he wanted to say about those characters.
I think that is probably what Christopher is suggesting may be so with the idea that it will be somewhere between a "reboot" and a "prequel."
It's the original one we saw here in the US. It was awesome getting to see it on the big screen.What trailer is playing with Battle: LA? Is it the one we've seen or an English version of the International trailer or something new?
