[youtube]UrbHykKUfTM[/youtube] X-Men: First Class trailer.X-Men: First Class has created a bit of a buzz on Thursday with Fox's announcement to the upcoming film’s Facebook fans that the first trailer would be released.
The marketing campaign to grab as many followers as possible before the film’s June 6 release appears to be working. As of Thursday afternoon, more than 1.8 million people have become fans of the film.
Fans started growing impatient as the trailer wasn’t released until later on in the day. “Hurry up with the trailer,” one fan wrote.
First Class focuses on the origins on the mutants, namely Professor X and Magneto, before they were enemies. James McAvoy is slated to play X and Michael Fassbender will play Magneto.
"Before he was Professor X, he was Charles," the trailer reads. "Before he was Magneto, he was Erik."
According to movie database IMDB.com, the X-Men: First Class plot revolves around the friendship and cooperation between Charles and Erik in a Cold War-esque setting. A section of the trailer is dedicated to JFK's speech warning against a missile strike from Cuba.
Near the end of the trailer, tensions start building up between Charles and Erik.
"Listen to me very carefully, my friend. Killing will not bring you peace," the young Professor X says to a young Magneto.
"Peace was never an option," Magneto responds.
January Jones of Mad Men will play Emma Frost. Kevin Bacon will also co-star, playing Sebastian Shaw.
And despite some tension leading up to the trailer’s release, some fans were pleased: “Awesome Trailer!!! Really looks really good!” said one fan.
