Some of the points aren't exactly ground breaking as we had to assume some things when we started hearing about casting and characters.
Other points though are pretty cool.
The first thing mentioned is that the movie will be set in the 1960's and center on the early relationship between Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr. This isn't huge news. When we heard that James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender would be playing the characters we knew that it meant the story would be told from an earlier point.
The next point is that Xavier won't start the movie in the wheel chair, or bald. This is pretty cool, especially since Singer says that we will see the cause of Xavier's paralysis. And it means that by the end of the movie we should be seeing a bald McAvoy.
A quick point is that there will be no Cyclops of Jean Grey in the movie. That's a little sad, but there are so many other characters that will be in the movie that it shouldn't feel like a big loss in the end.
Probably my favorite point is this one, the Hellfire Club will be represented and we will see Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw and, the recently announced, January Jones as The White Queen, Emma Frost. We knew that Jones was cast to play Frost, but this is the first word on the actual character that Bacon will play in the film.
I know it's a lot to take in all at once. But this is big stuff friends. X-Men: First Class is aiming to reboot a franchise that had a great start and I believe has a strong chance to reclaim that quality and love from the fans.
