Celebrating X-Men Films And Beyond

Zoe Kravitz opens up about her X-Men: First Class character Angel.

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS actress Zoe Kravitz spoke with MTV about her role as Angel Salvadore and her experience on the film.

On the origins of the character, Kravitz says “She has such a cool background, but that is not in the film. You meet her later when they’re recruiting these mutants to form the first group of X-Men. But it was really helpful for me to know all that information to form the character. But who knows what will happen in the future. Hopefully, they’ll continue with her.”

Many fans were curious about a scene in the trailer featuring Angel with Erik and Charles. “It’s really funny. They come to find me, knowing about my mutation, and I’m working at a go-go club. I don’t know what they’re there for, so I take them in back for a private dance and then we show each other our powers.”

About her experiences with stunts, Kravitz says “I never got hurt, so nothing was too scary. There is this big scene on the beach at the end, and they shot it in Georgia. They had me wired up and really high in the air and zooming around the beach. It was really cold and I was wearing these leather shorts and this backless top. I was up there for a week, zooming around and freezing my ass off. And then there was this one stunt I didn’t get to do. They hung my stunt double out of this helicopter over the ocean. I was like, “Why can I do that?” And they were like, “Um, no.”
