X-Men: First Class (stylized on-screen as X: First Class) is a 2011 superhero film based on the X-Men characters appearing in Marvel Comics. It is the fourth mainline installment in the X-Men film series and the fifth installment overall. It was directed by Matthew Vaughn and produced by Bryan Singer, and stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Rose Byrne, Jennifer Lawrence, January Jones, Oliver Platt, and Kevin Bacon. At the time of its release, it was intended to be a franchise reboot[7] and contradicted the events of previous films; however, the follow-up film X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) retconned First Class into a prequel to X-Men (2000). First Class is set primarily in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and focuses on the relationship between Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto, and the origin of their groups—the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants, respectively, as they deal with the Hellfire Club led by Sebastian Shaw, a mutant supremacist bent on enacting nuclear war.

Producer Lauren Shuler Donner first thought of a prequel based on the young X-Men during the production of X2; producer Simon Kinberg later suggested to 20th Century Fox an adaptation of the comic series X-Men: First Class, although the film does not follow the comic closely. Singer, who had directed both X-Men and X2, became involved with the project in 2009, but he could only produce and co-write First Class due to his work on other projects. Vaughn became the director and also wrote the final script with his writing partner Jane Goldman. Principal photography began in August 2010 and concluded in December, with additional filming completed in April 2011. Locations included Oxford, the Mojave Desert and Georgia, with soundstage work done in both Pinewood Studios and the 20th Century Fox stages in Los Angeles. The depiction of the 1960s drew inspiration from the James Bond films of the period.

First Class premiered in Ziegfeld Theatre on May 25, 2011, and was released in the United States on June 3, 2011. It was a box office success, becoming the seventh highest-grossing in the film series, and received positive reviews from critics and audiences, who praised its acting, screenplay, direction, action sequences, visual effects, and musical score. The film's success re-popularized the X-Men film franchise with various installments following, including a number of sequels focusing on younger iterations of the X-Men characters, with X-Men: Days of Future Past, X-Men: Apocalypse, and Dark Phoenix

The X-Men are a superhero team appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer/editor Stan Lee and artist/co-plotter Jack Kirby, the team first appeared in The X-Men #1. Although initially canceled in 1970 due to low sales, following its 1975 revival and subsequent direction under writer Chris Claremont, it became one of Marvel's most recognizable and successful franchises. They have appeared in numerous books, television shows, 20th Century Fox's X-Men films, and video games. The X-Men title may refer to the superhero team itself, the eponymous comic series, or the broader franchise including various solo titles and team books such as the New Mutants, Excalibur, and X-Force.

In the Marvel Universe, mutants are humans who are born with a genetic trait called the X-gene which grants them natural superhuman abilities, generally manifesting during puberty. Due to their differences from the majority of humanity, mutants are subject to prejudice and discrimination; many X-Men stories feature social commentary on bigotry, justice, and other political themes. The X-Men have fought against a variety of enemies, including villainous mutants, human bigots, supervillains, mystical threats, extraterrestrials, and malevolent artificial intelligence. In most iterations of the team, they are led by their founder Charles "Professor X" Xavier, a powerful telepath who runs a school for mutant children out of his mansion in Westchester, New York, which secretly is also the headquarters of the X-Men. Their stories have frequently involved Magneto, a powerful mutant with control over magnetic fields, who is depicted as an old friend of and foil to Xavier, variously acting as an adversary or as an ally. Early X-Men issues introduced Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Angel, and Iceman, along with their archenemy Magneto, Mastermind, Quicksilver, and the Scarlet Witch

What did you think of Mystique’s look in X-Men: First Class??

[CedarScott]

It is great she references Rebecca Romijn, the original Mystique.

[icedzinnia]

She lost me at "We have so much fun." She is literally recorded saying so many times how much she HATES it. As would we all .

[pandabeer]

they wouldn’t have to do all this if they kept her comic accurate white dress

[ronindebeatrice]

Naked, sleepover paint? Sounds like a blast. My bathroom really needs a coat, or two.

[BKPrice]

"It's like a sleepover, except I'm naked and being painted."
So it's like a sleepover, then.

[aaronjones]

I like Jennifer but she’s not the right choice for mystique. She got chosen at that time for the role because that’s when she first got famous and everyone wanted her in their movie. So they cast her because they knew people would watch the movie due to her being in there. Especially bc she’s almost naked. She wasn’t picked for her skill for the role. She just doesn’t bring the mystery, intensity, or seductiveness that the original actor did. Which are a key component to her character. That’s what makes her “Mystique”.

Camera guy being slick, making sure to "document" the project 😂

[johnalbano]

I see now why they get paid big bucks $$😅

[kdub]

Who would feel sorry for anyone who is getting paid?

[JoeJoe-wpvv]

I was just watching First Class, last night.
"Love Yourself"
-Mystique

[frogington]

“It’s like a sleepover except I’m naked and being painted”
So a regular sleepover?

[Emerald_Vizsla]

It may be the same technique but there's definitely something a tad less as good as Rebecca's Mystique

[geeebuttersnap]

Rebecca Romajin never complained, plus she’s a better actress believe it or not.

[shadyogre]

It's funny that it doesn't look as good as Rebecca Romjin's Mystique makeup on Her (JeLaw's).

[dikluegert]

And yet she complained on the last one and wanted a body suit instead even though she owes her career to this character

[Cloxys]

i find it wild that it takes 7 hours alone to put on let alone the part where your actual having to act and then take it off which im sure taking it off is way easier but i mean still

[skyfitsheaven]

The original Mistique was endearing, dangerous, Jennifer just looks goofy in the same costume, I couldn’t watch any scenes with her

[JacobHillgrove]

She raised to fame and won Oscars so quick .. some women in Hollywood could just do that, some wouldn’t even get famous ., know what I mean

[Nooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh]

Exept? That's exactly what sleepovers are like
