Recently someone commented about First Class that we could very nearly cut together the entire movie from the footage, featurettes, and stills that have been released. That’s usually the feeling one gets this deep into such a massive campaign but I have to say, when the images don’t originate from the print-ad division, they’ve always succeeded in making me just a bit more excited. Today over 40 new stills escaped onto the internet and were collected by ComicBookMovie.com — apparently they originated from a momentary release on IMDB, but they’ll be out in the wide world soon regardless since they’re clearly promo stills. This batch has a few particularly interesting tidbits like a couple good looks at the unabashedly red-faced Azazel, but mostly it’s just character stills and candid shots that –when taken all together– give a really nice impression of how well they’ve captured the period vibe. I have a feeling X-Men will have at least one tech Oscar-nod to brag about early next year. The costumes, the sets, and the dressing are all as good as you would expect, but it’s even the fantastic and comic-bookish technology that seem right at home.
I’m not 100% sold on the make-up in these shots (Beast and Azazel specifically), but I’ll leave judgement on those till after I’ve seen the film. I’m curious what more die-hard X-Men fans think of them.
I’m starting to cross my fingers that the movie is worth a shit, because it will be a shame if such a gorgeous and uniquely textured superhero movie ends up being forgettable. Take a look yourself- I’ve snatched out a batch of pictures that spoke to me for one reason or another, and you can catch the rest on CBM.

While I like the white jump suit, I wish they made White Queen an actual costume instead of just making her walk around in a bra when she’s not in it.
But all in all, I have to say I’m way more excited about this that I ever thought I would be.
you are complaining that she is walking around in a bra? Really?
WTF with the face Beast is making. He’s cross-eyed and looks like he’s dropping a deuce in the cockpit of a plane. Also, what’s with his hairline? It’s connected to his eyebrows.
What percentage of photos of people in the middle of saying something don’t result in a ridiculous expression?
I hate Beast’s makeup. I have hated it since day one. It looks too feral, and reminds me of a blue grinch. He looks nothing like the Beast in the 3rd movie – which was passable to me.
There was no “third” x-men film… this is the first one since X2
That would be fine if we were talking about a snapshot, or random screen grab. This is an image selected specifically as part of a marketing campaign for the time. He looks like he’s in an 80s screwball comedy and somebody slipped him a laxative.
Not complaining, per se. I think there’s totally a way that they could have designed something that looked like a costume instead of a bra and kept it fulfilling the same function.
That is, showcasing January Jones’ boobies.
The ones of January Jones look straight out of Austin Powers. She’s such a terrible actress, she’d fit like a glove into an AP movie. And seriously wtf is up with Beast’s make-up?
The thing I like the least about this movie so far (other than what looks like the entire third act being spoiled) is the Jennifer Lawrence Mystique Fivehead makeup. Though Beast may give her a run for her money.
