Revelations include:

  • The film is set in the early ’60s

  • Xavier does no start the film in a wheel chair; we will witness how he becomes wheelchair-bound during the course of the film
  • Xavier will not be bald
  • This is not the conventional First Class comic - but rather a new beginning for X-Men .
  • The costumes will be far more comic bookish
  • Cyclops and Jean Grey are not in the film, but Cyclops’ brother Alex Summers, Havoc, will be (played by Lucas Till)
  • The film will feature The Hellfire Club
  • Filming will begin with Xavier at Oxford University in the ’60s
