We get it, you don't have to keep posting about how disinterested you are.

[SephYuyX]

Doesnt look very good.. but who knows.
And why is Hellboy in this.

[Baelorn]

Someone said that in the trailer it looks more like Mad Men than X-Men.

[notorious bum]

They're obviously making these movies to piss off all the comic book nerds.

[Akiyama]

We get it, you don't have to keep posting about how disinterested you are.

So.. are you saying that I shouldn't post my disinterest in something repeatedly if it's awful? Okay.

I'm going with all the X-Men & Spider-Man films are just set within the "What If?" realm. That explains everything.

Bryan Singer explains "why Havok" & other thoughts about the new film.

Producer Bryan Singer has chimed in on the trailer debut for Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class prequel movie. As you all know Singer directed the first two X-Men movies and is attached to this one as producer. He had a few cool things to say in his interview with Hero Complex about the new film and the trailer.

"What’s great... about all of these characters is that they haven’t honed their abilities yet. [For example,] Havok is a danger to himself and everyone around him. That’s where this movie is at — the recruiting of these mutants and bringing them together.”

Singer also mentioned how excited he is about the younger cast of characters and a mention of Nightcrawler's father Azazel.

“We have younger versions of Mystique and Beast, so I’m very excited about them and what they bring to the film," he said. "Jennifer Lawrence’s work [as Mystique] and Nicholas Hoult’s portrayal of Beast — these are characters that we’ve seen in the earlier films, but then these are very different portrayals and you have to bring a lot of attention to those."

"I’m also excited about Jason Flemyng as Azazel, which is a really cool character."

That's right, what do you get when you put Azazel and Mystique together in a romantic state? You get a baby Nightcrawler!

"It’s like this sinister alter ego of Nightcrawler in a way, which again brings some of the things that we like about that character but at the same time has a different quality."

Singer moves on to talk about Lucas Till's Havok and why he's actually even in this movie. you know, Havok is Cyclops' brother and didn't come along in the comics until much later, so why is he in this prequel movie?

“Yes, the timeline is different, It wouldn’t physically fit for [Havok] to be the brother of Cyclops. We take some liberties on that. There are notions, but, um, I don’t want to give away certain interrelations, but let’s just say there are some things that do adhere to the comic books and do so in a way the fans will get a kick out of."

"And those things can, perhaps, move forward into the future…. That’s one reason we wanted to call the film ‘First Class’ even though it isn’t the [Jeff Parker-penned story arc called] ‘First Class’ in the comics as fans know it, You couldn’t really tell that story without going even earlier and explaining how they got there and how it came to be. I liked the title, so we kept it, but this is a prelude in a way that will eventually lead to the [scenarios] that fit in more clearly with the ‘First Class’ comics and situations."

If you've seen actor Michael Fassbender in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, Zack Snyder's 300, Neil Marshall's Centurion or his unforgettable performances in Steve McQueen's Hunger and Andrea Arnold's Fish Tank, then you already know that he's well up for the role of playing Erik Lehnsherr a.k.a. Magneto in Matthew Vaughn's superhero prequel X-Men: First Class.

The first trailer for the movie hit the internet in a big way this past week and since Fassbender was back in New York City to film Steve McQueen's follow-up Shame and to do some press for his upcoming role as Rochester in Cary Fukunaga's adaptation of Jane Eyre, SuperHeroHype sat down with him to talk about his role in the movie as well as his anticipated turn as the Master of Magnetism.

Because he's been so busy working the last few days, he hadn't realized his image in the trademark Magneto helmet was on the front page of every cool website, but we were glad to hear that the actor had done his homework on the character even if that didn't necessarily mean doing an impression of Ian McKellen, who played Magneto in the previous three films. "I haven't based it on him at all actually, and I hope the fans aren't going to be disappointed by that, because I know he's rated as #1 comic villain, well he's up there anyway," he told us. "I just tried to steep myself in the source material, the comic books, and there's so much. He's such a fascinating guy, and how he becomes Magneto is a really interesting journey. The fact that he has been let down so many times by human beings and this distrust that he has. You can see where it's coming from. Obviously, what was happening in the concentration camps and then he escaped from there with Magda, fell in love with her, then their child got burned and he ended up killing the whole town and she's like 'Whoa, this is too heavy for me, I gotta leave.' So the love of his life left him."

Hearing all of Fassbender's knowledge about Magneto's origin, we wondered how much of that was going to be in the movie. At one point, 20th Century Fox was going to do a separate Magneto origins movie, but Fassbender confirmed we'll only see a little bit of his origin this time around. "We see the stuff that's happening in the concentration camp, you see that, but you don't see that relationship (with Magda). I've just held that for my own personal use (in developing) the character, so when we meet him at the beginning of this film, he's definitely a lone wolf. He's on a mission and he's uncompromising and then he bumps into Charles, literally collides into him, and then it's the development of their relationship and really exploring that during the '60s and the Civil Rights Movement, Martin Luther King an Malcolm X."

Since the rapport between Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen in the other "X-Men" movies have played a large part in why they're so great, we asked Fassbender if he'd been able to develop a similar on-screen chemistry with his own Charles Xavier, James McAvoy. "That was a big draw when I heard that (James McAvoy) was going to be playing Charles Xavier. I thought, 'That's really interesting," being a big fan of his and we briefly worked together ten years ago on 'Band of Brothers.' I like him a lot. He's really easy to work with, he's just a normal practical worker, and we sat down and made sure that the relationship had all the elements that we wanted and that the progression was a good one, that there's no filler scenes and every scene is there for a reason. We did a lot of writing together with Matthew, each day we'd sit down and make sure the scene was tight and that it was dealing with everything we wanted to deal with, the fact that they're unsure of each other, sniffing each other, almost like dogs, and then there's a real respect and liking for each other, and then the relationship fractures."
