The X-Men movies have been amongst some of the most successful comic book action movies ever made.
And it looks like the fifth film in the franchise will be one of the best yet.
X-Men: First Class will be a prequel to the other movies, taking place in the 1960's, and new actors have been brought in to play the characters when they were young.
This includes James McAvoy as Professor Charles Xavier and Michael Fassbender as Erik Lensherr.
Kevin Bacon will play Sebastian Shaw, and Mad Men star January Jones will play Emma Frost/White Queen.
Rose Byrne will play the part of Moira MacTaggert.
It has not yet been confirmed if Hugh Jackman will be appearing to play his Wolverine role.
Apparently the costumes in the film will be much more like the ones in the original comics.
According to IMDB, 'Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time.
'Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known.
'In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.'
X Men fans will be interested to know that for most of the film, Xavier will not be in a wheelchair or sporting his usual bald look.
And the circumstances leading to him ending up in the wheelchair will finally be explained.
Director Matthew Vaughn says, 'The story that Bryan Singer came up with is very, very smart. It's very clever when you see how he has integrated the characters into the time period where the film is set.
'I'll put it that way. I just don't want to give it away. It's a very clever way of getting these characters involved in recent history, in recent world events.'
X-Men: First Class will be released in 2011.
