Continuity Issues in "X-Men:First Class" SPOILER ALERT!!
"X-Men: First Class presents a few discrepancies with the previous films in the X-Men series. For example, Charles Xavier becomes paralyzed with the film taking place in 1962. In X-Men: The Last Stand, Xavier is shown walking in a flashback set twenty years before the events of the film (presumably in the 1980s). In X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which is set in 1979, Xavier can be seen walking trying to get the children off of Three Mile Island
Additionally, in First Class, Emma Frost is an adult villain in 1962, but in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, she is a teenager in 1979. Dr. Moira MacTaggert appears to be in her 30s both in First Class and The Last Stand, which takes place approximately four decades later. Beast is shown in his human form in X2, and is portrayed in his transformed state by Kelsey Grammer in X-Men: The Last Stand, but is depicted in First Class as transforming into his Beast form nearly 20 years before the events of X2. Also, in "X-Men" , Xavier describes his first meeting with Magneto as being when he was 17, but in this film shows him in his early to mid 20s.
In the first X-Men film, Professor Xavier mentions to Wolverine that the reason Magneto was able to make his helmet impervious to cerebro, was because Magneto helped Xavier to build it. However in First Class, the original prototype cerebro was built almost exclusively by Beast, with some implied help from Xavier to complete it, and while Magneto was present, there was no indictation of any involvement in the building of it. Additionally Magneto did not design or build his helmet, but rather merely took it from Sebastian Shaw."

Here Are Some Details on Neil Blomkamp's Next Picture, "Elysium"
You're also working on Neill Blomkamp's next picture Elysium, how is this going to be different from all the other alien pictures that came out afterDistrict 9?
I can't tell you about the content of Elysium but I can tell you, it won't really be... it's a very different movie than anything you've ever seen before. It's not necessarily an alien movie. He set himself up, because [District 9] was one of the greatest first films any director's ever made. I'm hoping that this movie has an opportunity to be even better. He was very young when he directed that movie, he was like 26 or 27. He's only 31 now. He's learned as a filmmaker, he's evolved as a filmmaker. Visually, stylistically it's actually very different than District 9.
How so?
I literally will be murdered in my sleep if I tell you too much more. It's a unique movie. It's unlike anything I've ever seen before. And I will say, where I would be daunted because ofDistrict 9 being this masterpiece Neill is so talented as a writer and as a director that I'm kind of fearless going into this movie. I just think the guy is special.
One of the big themes in District 9 was second class citizens and other social issues. What are the big social issues what are the big themes in this picture?
I can't tell you what the big themes are, but I can tell you that there are big themes. He's someone who's really interested in the world. He's not a filmmaker who's only interested in other movies. He's somebody who's interested in the politics of the world, the reality of the world. Whatever kind of movie he makes in whatever genre, it's never simply going to be a synthetic movie about the movies he liked growing up. It's always going to be about something bigger, and this movie is too.

Cool New Clip from "X-Men: First Class"
Plot:
Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr 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 prevent nuclear 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.
