Class Roster

The casting for Matthew Vaughn’s comic book film prequel X-Men: First Class continues at a breakneck pace--with 2 hero additions and one possible villian happening just today



Deadline says that Nicholas Hoult ("A Single Man") will play a young Beast, Lucas Till ("Hannah Montana: The Movie") will play Havok and Kevin Bacon is in talks to play a key villain.

The 20-year-old Hoult is said to be replacing Benjamin Walker who was involved but left the project.

I am really intrigued by the notion of Bacon playing bad again. As for Till and Hoult--

Meanwhile rumor control please...

Entertainment Weekly reports that despite chatter Aaron Johnson will NOT be playing a young Cyclops after all. The noise of Taylor Lautner also being courted for a role has also been dismissed.

Shooting kicks off this summer in London for its June 3rd 2o11 bow.
