X-Men: First Class (2011) - Mutant Rewatch

Join us as we revisit all of the 20th Century Fox X-Men-related films to prepare for Logan’s return in Deadpool and Wolverine.

To kick this Mutant Rewatch off we go back to the beginning…kind off. The fifth entry in the franchise is a prequel set in the 1960s and sees Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr meet for the first time before they become Professor X and Magneto. Listen as Ashley, Ciaran and Dylan discuss the film, judge what elements do and don’t work with the future continuity and compare James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender’s performances to Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen’s.
