X-Men: First Class Plot Synopsis

Over the weekend, the first official plot synopsis for Matthew Vaughn‘s X-Men: First Class comic book movie was released. X-Men: First Class synopsis: “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 Lensherr 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 stop 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.” The film stars James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender as Professor X and Magneto, respectively, and co-stars Nicholas Hoult, Caleb Landry Jones, Edi Gathegi, Jason Flemying, Kevin Bacon, January Jones, Oliver Platt, and the most recent addition, Ray Wise. X-Men: First Class opens June 3, 2011. [source: Srcreenrant]
