While the first trailer for X-Men: First Class didn’t do much for me, the more that Fox reveals images from the film, the more intrigued I become.

And that has continued with today’s release of two new posters from the film.

Following the teaser poster (which was a simple, tasteful Xavier School logo), these two new posters show the main leads of the film, Michael Fassbender as Magneto and James McAvoy as Professor Xavier respectively, and showcase not just who they are in the film, but who they eventually will become.

In a world of photoshopped headshots, these are some very strong, evocative images, and I applaud the marketing team for making them.

Let’s just hope the movie is as cool as these posters are.

Another piece of the puzzle for Superman: Man of Steel has been set, as Warner Bros and director Zach Snyder have signed their man to wear the cape!

A relative unknown, actor Henry Cavill has been locked up to star in the 2012 return of the classic hero.

While I’m not very familiar with his work, which includes roles in Stardust, Tristan & Isolde and The Tudors, looking at the still above, I can’t help but note how right he looks for the part.

Snyder is said to be VERY high on Cavill, and I look forward to seeing what he brings to the role.

What do you think? Let me know in the comments.

Wow, I didn’t expect this sort of image to be released for a few months, but the team at The Daily BLAM! seems to have sources in high places, as thanks to them, the first look at the cast of X-Men: First Class has hit the web.

A mishmash of X-Men characters new and old, the image showcases our first looks at James McAvoy as Professor X (with hair), Michael Fassbender as Magneto, January Jones as The White Queen and Rose Byrne as Moira McTaggart, among others.

The full synopsis for the June 3, 2011 release is as follows:

X-Men First Class charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and 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. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.

Hopefully Fox will release a higher resolution version of this cast shot soon, but in the meantime, we have this watermarked look at the cast.

What do you think, folks? Personally, I like how the team seems to have a uniform similar to the classic yellow and black garb, but not quite.   I still am not sold on the reason for the film, aside from continuing the X-Men franchise, but we’ll see.

EDIT: Updated – 3:07pm

We now have a watermark-less version!

Coming from this weeks latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, is the above image, which is our first official (read: not paparazzi) look at Chris Evans in full Captain America gig.

It’s not the most exciting first image, but I have to say it looks just right.  He looks like a solider, he looks like he can scrap, and they even make the “wings” on the mask/helmet look right.

But now I just want to see him in motion! Oh, us nerds, never satisfied.

Captain America: The First Avenger hits theaters on July 22nd.
