Looks pretty good to me. Not amazing, but better than most garbage that comes out these days.
Is this really out next week? I haven't heard anything about it.
June 3. You haven't heard because you aren't looking in the right places.
I wonder why the movie isn't out for the Memorial Day weekend. It would be easier to see.
Jason Flemyng reveals more on Azazel role in X-Men: First Class
Jason Flemyng reveals more on Azazel role in X-Men: First Class
With
X-Men: First Class gearing up for release,
Jason Flemyng has been talking about his character Azazel and whether he will be the father of Nightcrawler, as well as revealing what other mutant he nearly played in a previous X-Men film...
In a new interview, Jason Flemyng, who has worked with Matthew Vaughn several times before, talks a bit more about his portrayal of the red-skinned teleporter Azazel. Warning: there may be SPOILERS ahead???
On his character:
He's the badass, knife-throwing, sword-wielding member of the Hellfire Club and it means I get to slice up loads of CIA agents. I'm an old lefty and I wanted to turn him into a Comrade because it's the Cold War, I wanted to push the idea that he's a Russian baddie.
On the future for his character, it doesn't sound like we get to see him father Nightcrawler yet, but it might be in the next movie:
He's the father of the teleporting Nightcrawler. Mystique and Azazel have a ding-dong and their kid is Alan Cumming, which I'd be happy with. I can see a resemblance there. In the next film, hopefully I get to kiss Jennifer Lawrence.
And on nearly being in
X-Men: The Last Stand when Matthew Vaughn was attached to direct:
I was all ramped up and ready to play Beast originally [before Kelsey Grammar got the role]. I went over and did my camera tests and stuff.
These are excerpts from an article at the Coventry Telegraph, which is apparently sourced from a fuller interview in Comic Heroes.
X-Men: First Class is released on June 1 in the UK and June 3 in the USA.
