X men first class trailer

After the debacle that was X-Men: The Last Stand, Fox is trying to reboot its Marvel mutant franchise by having Bryan Singer, who directed the well-liked first two installments of the initial trilogy, to produce a prequel.

And the studio hired Matthew Vaughn, who was actually on tap to direct Last Stand before deciding against it, to direct First Class, which is not only a prequel, but a period prequel, set in the funky 1960s.

And it's got a crop of many up-and-comers and new stars such as Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult and Michael Fassbender.

So is this a makeup movie? Does this set the ship back on course? The answer comes June 3.
