The story will show Professor X and Magneto when they were still friends and how they assembled the first team of X-Men. Singer also confirmed that Kevin Bacon will play the main villain of the movie: Sebastian Shaw, leader of the elite secret society, the Hellfire Club. Shaw is a mutant with the ability to absorb kinetic energy and adapt it into superhuman strength. The Hellfire Club, which covertly influences world events, also includes January Jones' character, the telepathic Emma Frost. With this film being a prequel, we won't see Cyclops, Storm, Jean Grey, and the other X-Men from the previous movies. One exception is the mutant Beast, played in "First Class" by Nicholas Hoult.

    so, wait. does this mean that the young Emma Frost who was Silverfox's sister in X-Men Origins: The Story of Little Jimmy Logan and his Uncanny Friends is a different Emma from this cougar Frost since, of course, at the end a young, impressionable Cyclops came under the care of a wheel-chair bound Professor X which means (according to Xavier's bipedal mobility in X-Men 3: The Last Stand of Big Jim Logan a Man Called Wolverine) that Jean is already on the team implying that the whole ordeal takes place AFTER the events of First Class?

    or does Emma now have time traveling capabilities?
