You certainly can’t say the team behind X-Men: First Class isn’t making every effort to keep the film foremost in our minds as the clash of the summer blockbuster titans heats up. Now the new theatrical trailer has arrived online and you can watch it below.
A blend of things we’ve already seen (did you know that Charles "Professor X" Xavier and Erik “I’ve got a much darker past than you” Lensherr were friends before they were enemies? No? You’ve clearly not watched EVERY TRAILER PUT OUT SO FAR.)
But where this latest promo scores is giving the characters a little more room to breathe and offer up dialogue that shoves the plot forward, with plenty of fun little cameos from most of the mutants on display and the set-piece eye-candy is not underserved either.
Naturally, the men of the match so far are still James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, but there’s solid stuff here from Nicholas Hoult’s Beast and Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique.
The likes of Rose Byrne, January Jones, Kevin Bacon, Jason Flemyng, Zoe Kravitz, Lucas Till, Ed Gathegi, Ray Wise and Caleb Landry Jones also feature in the film.
Check out the trailer and sound off with your thoughts.
X-Men: First Class, just in case you’d forgotten, is out on June 1.
