X MEN ORIGINS FIRST CLASS SERIES
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. 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. At the time of its release, it was intended to be a franchise reboot 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). 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. It is the fourth mainline installment in the X-Men film series and the fifth installment overall. 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.
