Matthew Vaughn freaked out at debut X-Men: First Class image; releases two new stills.

/Film has released two new stills from X-MEN: FIRST CLASS and recently spoke with director Matthew Vaughn who said he “freaked out” when he saw the debut image of the cast in costume online.

“I freaked out on them yesterday. I don’t know where the hell that came from. I don’t think it’s a Fox image. It’s not a pre-approved image. When I found out, I said, what the **** is this ****, and Fox is running around trying to figure out what happened as well. I agree. It’s like a bad photoshop, which maybe it was by someone. It didn’t reflect the movie. I was shocked when I saw it. I was like ‘Jesus Christ’.

“I’m a fan of X-Men. We’re not bastardizing X-Men, I’m trying to get them back to being whole again.”

Vaughn also noted that the blue and yellow costumes are “hardly in the movie”, and that the “the main costumes are like these cool 60’s James Bond” style.
