Watch X-Men First Class on June 3, 2011

Mathew Vaugn will be directing X-Men: First Class, 20th Century Fox's successful franchise. Vaugn has also set a date for the film, release should be expected for June 3, 2011. With such short notice of him directing, the release date means crunch time for production.

Here's a quick description of the film by 20th Century Fox:

"X-Men: First Class, following the classic Marvel mythology, charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga. Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men."
