this was so fun to make scp: @sorceresscenes X-Men: First Class is the fifth installment in the X-Men film series, serving as a prequel and a soft reboot of the mainline franchise. Directed by Matthew Vaughn, First Class is set in the time period of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, starring James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender as younger portrayals of Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr. It was released on June 3, 2011. Set in the era before Professor Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr became mortal enemies as Professor X and Magneto, respectively, director Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class follows the two former allies as they lead a powerful team of mutants on a mission to save the planet from nuclear annihilation. Charles and Erik were just young men when it began to appear as if the world was careening toward destruction. As the Doomsday Clock ticks faster toward midnight, the time comes to take action. Realizing they could use their unique powers to avert a global thermonuclear war during the Bay of Pigs crisis, the two powerful mutants launch an intense recruitment campaign with the support of Dr. Moira MacTaggert and the CIA. Before long, Charles and Erik have assembled a crack team that includes Mystique, Banshee, Beast, Angel Salvadore, Havok, and Darwin. Meanwhile, the malevolent Sebastian Shaw plots to plunge the world into war with the help of villainous mutants Riptide, Azazel, and Emma Frost. In the process of saving humanity, however, Charles and Erik clash, setting the stage for Professor X to lead the X-Men in the fight for good as Magneto and the Brotherhood spread chaos and destruction on a global scale #xmen #marvel #fyp #jamesmcavoy #cherik @TikTok - @nightwingloverc
