X-Men: First Class - Official Trailer

AZAZEL: Teleporting Demon

Who is AZAZEL?

AZAZEL is a demonic-looking mutant and leader of the Neyaphem, he was banished to a dimensional void due to his appearance. Becoming bitter at what he considered "Normal-looking" mutants, AZAZEL began fathering children with mutants bearing strange appearances, one of whom would become Nightcrawler, as a part of his overall plan to escape the void. His first appearance was in Uncanny X-Men #428, during "The Draco" storyline. He was created by Chuck Austen and Sean Phillips.

AZAZEL claims to be the devil that is referred to by many religious texts. Stating that he comes from Biblical times, AZAZEL is part of a race of mutants who are collectively known as the Neyaphem.

They originally lived on La Isla des Demonas, an island located in the Caribbean. The Neyaphem believed the Earth was theirs to own and that humans were to be ruled over and used as slaves. However, another group of mutants known as the Cheyarafim were against this and eventually defeated and imprisoned the Neyaphem, including AZAZEL, in an alternate dimension. Ironically, this dimension, which smelled heavily of brimstone, was the one accessed by AZAZEL when using his teleportation powers.
Warren Worthington, Angel, is believed to be a descendant of these Cheyarafim. His blood who heals others burns the "Neyaphem"

AZAZEL who was still trapped in the "brimstone" dimension, and was only able to leave for brief moments. Planned his escape back to earth by impregnating women because his children would have a link to the brimstone dimension. Many years ago he started mating with women and one of these women is Mystique who at the time was married to a rich castle lord named Baron Christian Wagner. When Mystique was introduced to AZAZEL, she had an instant attraction to him. Although she was hesitant to betray Christian, she gave in to AZAZEL and they made love. Not much later, Mystique became pregnant with the mutant who will later be known as Nightcrawler.

The Revelation
AZAZEL_revelation_061011.jpg


AZAZEL also sired several dozen other children, who were all mysteriously called to gather and sacrifice themselves on the island known as the Isla Des Demonas. Doing this would open a portal and bring his army back to earth, allowing the demonic mutants to live in the world and find their place in it. The mutant children worked together in a zombie-like state and opened the portal to AZAZEL's dimension.
A couple more of AZAZEL's children: Abyss and Kiwi Black

However, AZAZEL was not able to free the Neyaphem because the portal had to be opened in an area where Cheyarafim blood could not be found. Archangel was present at the time and as such the portal was destroyed. AZAZEL is yet to be seen again.

Rumor has it that AZAZEL is actually a demon, or at least holds the blood of one. Mephisto has been heard to make slight reference to the leader of the Neyaphem to be much more than he seemed and had a strange set of 'ties' to mortals. So, expect Nightcrawler's Big Bad Red Daddy to pop-up anywhere soon.

"A waste of $10." That's how my nephew described it. LOL

Thor is pretty good, I heard.

So if we had to pick which super hero move was the best this season, which would it be?

I had hopes for x-men, but the reboot kept me from running out on opening weekend.

Details of the release date and special features have been unveiled, as well as the awesome new cover art as well as the "Team Charles" and "Team Erik" t-shirt's available exclusively at Comic Con...
Crave Online have unveiled the following artwork from the upcoming release of X-Men: First Class on DVD and Blu-ray. Oh, and when will that be you may ask? September 9th! The site also mention some pretty intriguing special features such as, "...ten X-Men Digital comics including a never-before-seen backstory comic, and a Cerebro Mutant Tracker which is an interactive video database of all those in the X-Men films." Oh, and how about those awesome t-shirt's below? Well, Fox will be giving the first 1,000 fans to pre-order their Blu-ray or DVD copy of the movie at the San Diego Comic-Con one of these for free, showing their support for either "Team Charles" or "Team Erik."







 
I downloaded a pretty good TS screener. I started watching it with low expectations, but ended it cheering. The movie was unbelievably good, especially after considering how unbelievably bad the last two X-Men moves were. The wolverine movie was some of the worst garbage I have ever seen.

First Class rocked because the actors rocked. I knew James McAvoy was going to be good. For the other hardcore nerds out there, James played Leto II in Children of Dune. He does very well when playing characters with superhuman intelligence. Michael Fassbender did a great job developing the story of how Eric/Magneto became so evil. I had never seen Fassbender until I saw Inglorious Bastards, and I thought he did a great job in both movies.

Basicly, McAvoy and Fassbender carried this movie from average to great. The script was mediocre, but those two really developed the back story behind the two most interesting mutants in the X-Men comics.

rosexmen.png

IGN caught up with actress Rose Byrne and asked her thought about a possible X-Men: First Class sequel. Bryne said that that she has signed on for three films and that a sequel depended on how well the first film did. She also went on to say that she loved working on the movie and that she is very proud of the film.

<B itxtBad="1" itxtNodeId="93">Said Byrne:

"Yeah, we all had to sign on for three, I believe. Well, I did anyway. But as of right now I have no idea if they're planning on doing another one. But that was the idea depending on how it all went, I suppose. We'll see though. I loved working on it and loved working with the cast. I loved Matthew Vaughn. I also loved the style. The era and the fashion. And it was kind of kitsch-y and funny. It was a really fun and sophisticated superhero movie. I'm very proud of the film."

Deleted Scene From X-Men: First Class Sees Michael Fassbender In Drag!

Deleted Scene From X-Men: First Class Sees Michael Fassbender In Drag!

In this funny deleted-or rather extended scene from First Class we see how Xavier demonstrates his power to Angel Salvadore..
If you were wondering why only Erik demonstrated his power to Angel in that strip club scene from X-Men: First Class it's because the rest of the scene, in which Charles also shows the young Mutant what he can do, wound up on the cutting room floor.

James McAvoy Talks Sequel to X-Men: First Class

James McAvoy Talks Sequel to X-Men: First Class

James spoke with Total Film about how the X-Men movies are now setup in such way that they will resemble Bryan Singers X-Men films, with Magneto as the bad guy.

X-Men: First Class is a great example of how you can make a good movie, and it makes you forget about all the timeline issues. Well, maybe it doesn't make you forget about them all, but it does give you a brief case of amnesia so that you can enjoy the film.

Have you tried watching a Bryan Singer X-Men movie since you've seen First Class? It's much tougher then you think it would be. Even watching X-Men Origins: Wolverine which was already hard to watch, just got more difficult when we see Emma Frost as an early twenty year old.

When we asked him if he???d be up for a follow up to Matthew Vaughn???s mutant prequel, McAvoy told us, ???I???d be up for it. But the truth is I???m contractually obliged to be up for it because they made us all sign multiple picture deals!???

But does he have any idea where the story will go, following on from the ending of First Class?

???I???ve spoken to Matthew [Vaughn] about ideas, but I can???t tell you what they are because they may or may not be the story. One thing I liked about our one was that it was different from the other three films where the X-Men are the good guys, Wolverine???s figuring out who he is and Magneto is the bad guy.

???This was a completely different thing. Magneto wasn???t a bad guy, we were friends. We???re now set up to go back to the way the other movies are, so we???ve got to try to be cleverer than that.???​
 
Actor Jason Flemyng On An X-Men: First Class Sequel And The Bad Blood Between Sean Connery And Director Stephen Norrington

Actor Jason Flemyng On An X-Men: First Class Sequel And The Bad Blood Between Sean Connery And Director Stephen Norrington

Actor Jason Flemyng gave us a quiet but dazzling performance as Azazel in X-Men: First Class . He has some very specific info about a First Class sequel and some humorous reflections on his lengthy career. Check it out.

Participating in a live chat with fans courtesy of Empire Magazine, the talented Jason Flemyng discussed X-Men: First Class, The League of Extraordinary Gentleman, and the difference between Guy Ritchie and Matthew Vaughn.


Azazel_X%20men%20First%20Class.png
@JonasRJakobsen: "Loved you in First Class! You had the most interesting fight scenes I must say. Any plans for a sequel that you know of?"

FLEMYNG: I’d love to do a sequel. We shot enough fight sequences to do an Azazel fight movie. But I don’t think that’s going to happen. The film had to take $350 million worldwide to merit a sequel. It took $356 million, so watch this space...


@Nadinehamsbrook: "What was it like being a 'superhero/mutant' in X-Men? Did you feel pressure becoming a part of a huge franchise?"

FLEMYNG: I didn’t really understand what I was getting into. I’d done a lot of comic book adaptations like LXG and From Hell and Stardust etc. etc. etc. But nothing can prepare you for the fans that love the X-Men films. Having said that, I don’t think Azazel is one of their favourite characters. Hopefully my performance and the new film might change that.

@AlexBrown66: "Were the bust-ups between Sean Connery and the director Stephen Norrington as bad as they've been made out to be?"

FLEMYNG: They were worse. They were worse. You know that feeling when someone in your class is getting told off, and your toes curl in your black Clarks shoes? That’s how it was every day. My favourite bust-up was on the set of Venice. The League had to walk from Captain Nemo’s boat, the Nautilus, down the street, Magnificent Seven-style. At the end of the take, Sean shouted out to Norrington, “What? You want us to do that again?” Norrington replied, “For $18 million, I don’t think it’s too much to ask you to walk down a road.” To which Connery’s reply is unprintable.

@AndrewWards: Dam 140 characters. "What are the different characteristics of [Guy] Ritchie and [Matthew] Vaughn?"

FLEMYNG: Ritchie. Talented, fast, exciting, easily bored. Vaughn. Incredibly hard-working, great taste, ego-less.

@Carl_Denham:"Any dream part?

FLEMYNG: It’s probably Spartacus. I just grew up watching that film, I can’t get enough of it.

@Littlestar300: "If you could play one other comic-book superhero who would it be and why?"

FLEMYNG: I was an old punk, so I love The Watchmen. That’s what I really wanted to do, because he was an anarchist. I don’t really read comics. Now I’ve just had twins, I’m going to start buying The Beano again. So in answer to your question, Plug from The Bash Street Kids.

Simon Kinberg To Write X-Men: First Class Sequel

Simon Kinberg To Write X-Men: First Class Sequel

SuperHeroHype has learned that Simon Kinberg, who was a co-writer on 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand and 2009's Sherlock Holmes will pen the script for the sequel to X-Men: First Class. Hit the jump for more info...
X-Men-First-Class-Banner.jpg


SuperHeroHype has learned that Simon Kinberg will be writing the script for the as yet untitled X-Men: First Class sequel.

You may not know him by name - but this guy has a history with the X-Men movies..

SuperHeroHype has learned that Simon Kinberg is writing the sequel to 20th Century Fox's X-Men: First Class, which has earned over $350 million since opening in theaters this June.

Kinberg produced the first film and was a writer on X-Men: The Last Stand. His other writing credits include Mr. & Mrs Smith, Jumper, Sherlock Holmes and the upcoming This Means War and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. He is a producer on the latter two as well and is a producer on Neill Blomkamp's next, Elysium.​

So - as the co-writer of the slammed X-Men: The Last Stand, but the well received (certainly by most) Sherlock Holmes - what can we expect from Simon Kinberg?
