![]() Erik tries to leave with documents about Shaw, but Xavier encourages him to stay. At the CIA’s X Division, the group meet young scientist and mutant Hank McCoy( Nicholas Hoult), whom Raven immediately begins to bond with. Shaw escapes, and Erik is rescued by Xavier who jumps in the water to prevent him from drowning. Xavier and Moira locate Shaw on his private boat, just as Erik tries to kill him. Needing more advice on the subject of Mutants, Moira goes to see Xavier in Oxford and invites him to the CIA and convince Director McCone ( Matt Craven) that mutants exist, and another CIA officer ( Oliver Platt) shows his support for them. Azazel teleports Hendry to the joint war room where he gives his support for placing nuclear weapons in Turkey. In Las Vegas meanwhile, CIA Agent, Moira MacTaggert ( Rose Byrne) is tracking army officer Colonel Hendry ( Glenn Morshower), when she discovers him talking to Klaus Schmidt, now going by the name Sebastian Shaw, along with his team of mutants Riptide ( Alex Gonzalez), Emma Frost ( January Jones) and Azazel ( Jason Flemyng). In Oxford, Charles Xavier ( James McAvoy) graduates from University with a Thesis on Mutation, and lives there with his now fostered sister Raven ( Jennifer Lawrence). In 1962, Erik ( Michael Fassbender) has now grown up and is pursuing Schmidt leaving a trail of destruction in both Switzerland and later Argentina. In New York meanwhile, young Charles Xavier discovers a blue skinned mutant called Raven stealing from his family’s kitchen and invites her to join his family. This enrages Erik into destroying most of Schmidt’s lab. This grabs the attention of Scientist Klaus Schmidt ( Kevin Bacon) who kills Erik’s mother when he wouldn’t move a coin. ![]() In 1944, at one of Hitler’s Jewish prison camps, young Erik Lensher shows off extraordinary powers when he bends a metal gate. The film is loosely based off the X-Men comic series First Class, and introduces several new characters into the series plus recasting a few others. First Class goes in a different direction to the previous three films however, instead going back in time to tell the origins story and early history of the X-Men. Released in 2011 by 20 th Century Fox, Directed by Matthew Vaughn and Produced by Lauren Shuler Donner X-Men: First Class is the fifth film in X-Men film series, and is the second spin-off from the main series. ![]() Either read the comics which you can find either online or in shops that sell comics, or you can just watch this film. But have you ever wondered how all this came to pass, how Charles Xavier founded the X-Men and how Magneto came to be his great Nemesis? Neither have I, but for those who do want to know, you have 2 options. No, they’re Mutants, mutants with extraordinary powers, ones that allow them to do magnificent things for either the side of good, or that of evil. Charles also has the power of "astral projection" and the power to appear in the minds of others, so Charles could simply not be there at Jean's house, but is back home, in his wheelchair.It’s pretty clear to see that the characters featured in X-Men aren’t exactly, human (except for those who are). Either because they ran out of the serum or because Charles came to the realization he needs to accept what happened and not hide it, especially if he's teaching children to accept who they are. ![]() Then at some point Charles stopped taking the serum, confining him to the wheelchair once again. Hank could have kept working on this serum which would allow Charles to walk and still maintain some of his powers. We do know from DOFP that Hank/ Beast created a serum for Charles that allowed him to walk, albeit without his powers. One can only speculate on the possible ways Charles walks in these 2 previous movies (and this isn't taking into account the timeline shift from X-Men Days of Future Past). Since no real answer seems to be given, and since the X-Men 3 film makers didn't know Charles would later be shown to become paralyzed prior to visiting Jean, they had no need to explain why he's walking. Chosen answer: The short answer is events in this film negate what happened in X-Men 3 as well as Origins: Wolverine or one could say this film essentially became a reboot.
