Principal photography commenced on Matthew Vaughn's
X-Men: First Class this week, at Pinewood Studios & surrounding locales in England. And now according to the sources of "X-Men" media blog site
XMF, we may know what the filming crew has first on the schedule.
"Some of the first scenes being filmed involve Charles Xavier attending Oxford University debating the mutant phenomenon, and Erik Lensherr dealing with the horrifying events in Auschwitz via a flashback sequence."
In other
First Class news, there has been low resolution image floating around that many believe is a concept, if not official, logo for the upcoming mutant "silver-age" adaption.
Clearly it isn't anything too extravagant or mind bottling, but if accurate, at least we have an idea of what direction they're going design wise. And the direction doesn't seem too diverse from the previous "X-Men" trilogy.
Anyhow,
X-Men: First Class stars James McAvoy (Xavier), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), January Jones (Emma Frost), Nicholas Hoult (Beast),Caleb Landry Jones (Banshee), Lucas Till (Havok), and Kevin Bacon (Sebastian Shaw), Edi Gathegi(Darwin), Jason Flemyng (Azazel), Rose Byrne (Dr. Moira MacTaggert), Zoe Kravitz (Angel), and Oliver Platt (the man in black).
And in Matthew Vaughn's direction, the mutant-flick hits theaters June 3, next year!
