Professor X & Mystique Blow Your Mind in a New Clip from ‘X-Men: First Class’

We got the God of Thunder out of the way, now it’s time to look to the rest of this jam-packed year of superhero films. Up next is potentially the most original of the year, as Kick-Ass’s Matthew Vaughn takes on the origin of the X-Men set in Cold War Era America with X-Men: First Class.

We got a glimpse at some of the members of the team like Beast, Havoc, and Banshee that gave us a bit of a hint on what the tone of the film was going to be. Needless to say, the rest of the film is still shrouded in mystery.

We do know that the film has a good amount to do with Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis of the 1960’s, and that’s what sets up our clip. In it, McAvoy’s “Charles Xavier” and Jennifer Lawrence’s “Mystique” sit before a cabinet of shady government types and reveal their mutant abilities for the first time.

Check out how they react after the jump, and be sure to catch X-Men: First Class and all of its fun-loving mutants in theaters (and thankfully NOT 3D) on June 3rd.
