20th Century Fox has premiered the first official clip from X-MEN: FIRST CLASS featuring Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) speaking with the CIA about the existence of mutants and the upcoming missle crisis. When they don’t believe him, Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) alters her physical form.
Thanks JC!
cool scene! but she don’t have yellow eyes? maybe they just didn’t fully edit it yet.
I couldn’t tell if she had yellow eyes or not but she will in the final film regardless.
Xavier calls the old chap ‘Agent Stryker’. I wonder If this is at all related to the Strker we already know of?
I’m sure it’s no coincidence. 🙂 Maybe his father?
No i don’t thin k their related because in the clip that striker is that agents first name, Xavier calls him striker wholdon or sumfin like that, x2 is William striker, striker being the second name.
X-men: First Class timeline happens after X-men Origins: Wolverine timeline, I think It’s the same Stryker that we know.
I was stunned for about a second leaving my mouth open. Mystique really giving me a goosebumps.
Is it stryker?
I like it how she shapeshifts!
At first i thought, where is that sound she makes when she shapshifts and there it was, she loook so confused at first then she was like, “Hey, let me show them what Xavier is talking about!”
I like them all.
Is Xaiver and Erik fighting?
Not true…
X-MEN FIRST CLASS takes place in late (September, October – Cuban Missile Crisis) 1962, whereas X-MEN ORIGINS WOLVERINE is set in the late 1970ies and early 1980ies (the Three Mile Island Incident was in March 1979).
So maybe that Stryker is a relative of some kind. But he looks far too old to be the Stryker we know from ORIGINS and X2.

That’s a really great scene and I was really surprised about the rather arrogant type of character young Xavier appears to be.
The clip looks good. Only strengthens my belief that this will be a great film.
Same here!
@ScottSummers, If you’re referring to the clip above, Xavier says ‘No Agent Stryker ALTHOUGH….’, not Walden.
I don’t think its gonna be too important to the story but reckon perhaps it’s just a neat little bit of continuity being chucked in for the fans. Would be cool if he was revealed as Strker Sr, but I doubt they’ll touch upon it too much.
Going a little off topic here, but I recently watched X2 and was reminded that Xavier (and Eric I believe) have a history with Stryker too (not just Logan). He brought his son Jason to Charles’ School to get him ‘cured’ which obviously wasn’t possible, which therefore spurred Strker to have a vendetta against Charles and Mutants and whatnot…..
I was just thinking it’d be awesome if they touched upon that in a sequel to First Class, set after this film and before the events of Wolverine: Origins. Could even bring Danny Huston back to play young stryker (although maybe digitally knock 10 years of him :P). Would tie it all together rather nicely I’d think (and therefore maybe gives a reason for Charles rather randomly jetting in to save the kids at the end of Wolverine: Origins).
Just an Idea 😛
I really hope they tell the story of Stryker’s son Jason in a future film!
That maybe just an idea… but it sounds really great! 🙂
am Xcuse me guys but when i see the trailer of Mystic i see her eyes yellow and in the GYM 2 also when she got on the spaceship 2 she has her eyes yellow
If Styker is the real Styker in the previous X Films, he won’t be credited in the movie, maybe they will say the actpr and next to it Styker.
I don’t know, what do you mean Cyber X? I am a huge fan of Mystique 🙂
