"It’s people like you who made me afraid to go to school as a child" - Mystique, X1

"My family tried to kill me you pathetic meat sack" - Mystique, X3

I hope we see something similar to what Mystique referred to in the previous films.

GREAT observations and great points. I hope we see this as well. It's a superb way to tie all the films together.

Either that or Vaughn is simply using this movie to make sure he never loses a game of "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" ever again. Casting EVERY actor under the age of 21 in the actor's guild to work with Bacon!

Betty Draper, in MY First Class?

January Jones is Emma Frost

EXCLUSIVE: 20th Century Fox has rounded out the cast of X-Men: First Class, and the big surprise is that Mad Men star January Jones has been signed to play the role of Emma Frost, the gorgeous mutant with telepathic powers. At the same time, director Matthew Vaughn has set Zoe Kravitz to play Angel, Jason Flemyng will play Azazel, the father of Nightcrawler; Bill Milner to play the young version of Magneto (Michael Fassbender), and Morgan Lily to play the Young Raven.

They join Fassbender, James McAvoy (Xavier), Nicholas Hoult (Beast) Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), Caleb Landry Jones (Banshee), Lucas Till (Havoc), Edi Gathegi (Darwin), who round out the mutant contingent. Kevin Bacon is playing the villain, Rose Byrne will play McAvoy's love interest Moira MacTaggert, and Oliver Platt is playing The Man in Black. Production begins August 23 in London.

Jones, who plays Mad Men's Betty Francis--the recently divorced wife of Don Draper (Jon Hamm) --will emerge from that 60s setting to play Emma Frost, the mutant also known as the White Queen. While speculative reports had Alice Eve playing that role, no deal was concluded. Mad Men wraps its fourth season in early September, and she will be able to jump right into the role. Jones received her first Emmy nomination for Lead Actress in a Drama, for Mad Men.

Kravitz (the daughter of singer and Precious star Lenny Kravitz) is set to star in the upcoming George Miller-directed Mad Max: Fury Road; Flemyng most recently starred in Kick-Ass, Milner is best known from Son of Rambow and Lilly's credits include Flipped and 2012.

I wonder how many panic attacks everyone will have when they're a week away from shooting and Scott and Jean are cast yet.
