According to deadline.com and variet.com Nicholas Hoult and Caleb Landry Jones have both landed roles in the highly anticipated movie X-Men First Class.  Hoult will be portraying Henry McCoy also known as Beast.  Jones will be taking on the role of the Irish X-Man Sean Cassidy, better known as Banshee.  You might recognize Nicholas Hoult from the BBC series Skins and from the 2010 remake of Clash of the Titans.  Jones has been in the television series Friday Night Lights and the movie The Long Shots.  I’m a fan of Skins so I can’t wait to see Hoult bulked up for the role of Beast.  It’s hard to say anything about Jones because I’m not familiar with his work, and there are very few pictures of him.  This cast is really turning out to be pretty amazing so I can’t wait to see who the cast as Cyclops, Jean Grey, Angel, or even Storm!

According to Showbiz411 the sexy Michael Fassbender has officially acccepted the role as Magneto in the upcoming movie X-Men: First Class.  Fassbender is no stranger to comic books having  previously appeared in 300 and Jonah Hex.  I think Fassbender is an excellent choice and I can’t wait to see who is cast next!

As many of you x-fans know after the success of Wolverine Origins the plans to continue to make X-Men focused productions are in full force.  The next X film is said to be X-Men First Class , a movie that will follow the comic that came out in September of 2006.leftheadshottab

Thanks to Twitter and other questionably un-reliable sources, the movie is set to come out in 2010 with the role of young Cyclops [Scott Summers] cast to be played by Tim Pocock who played Cyclops in the Wolverine movie. Let’s take a poll shall we?
