X-MEN: FIRST CLASS (2011) Movie Reaction! | First Time Watch! | James McAvoy | Michael Fassbender

"They didn't have a name. It was taken from them, by pig farmers and tailors." This line is delivered so damn cold. Fassbender was an excellent choice for a younger Erik/Magneto.

"He's like red Nightcrawler" well, Azazel is his father. Depending on the lore that is, it changed a couple times. There is one parent that remained constant sadly they don't even touch on it in the movies but did in X-Men: Evolution.

Michael Fassbender's portrayal as Magneto makes me love Ian McKellan's portrayal of the character even more because you totally understand where he's coming from and why he has such an ire for humans.

29:46 Alex Summers aka Havoc is Cyclops' brother.

He's not freezing time he's using his telepathy to stop the brain activity in people's head making them perfectly still

They did Darwin so dirty he would literally solo this whole mutant class

The chemistry between McAvoy and Fassbender was so good it revived the fanfic world with them as a pairing.

Killing off Darwin was so stupid. He had the most useful power.

To prepare for his role as Charles Xavier, James McAvoy shaved his head. He soon learned that the filmmakers wanted Xavier to have a full head of hair in the prequel. Throughout the first month of filming McAvoy had to wear hair extensions. He finally shaved his head for X-Men: Apocalypse (2016).

During a rehearsal, James McAvoy's double, along with all the other doubles, walked on set. The sight of James' double caused him to interrupt rehearsal, walk over to his double, and bear hug him in excitement. This amused Jennifer Lawrence and she said, "Why are you hugging your double like you know him?" James' double on this film was also his double a year prior on The Conspirator (2010).
