New TV spots for X-MEN: FIRST CLASS show off the mutants in actions

Mutants, missiles, and John F. Kennedy, all appear in these new TV spots for X-Men: First Class.  Yet, where is Kevin Bacon?  Despite the fact that the man has my favorite breakfast food item in his last name, Bacon plays Sebastian Shaw, the leader of the Hellfire Club and main villain in the new film.  Why is this wonderful actor oddly missing from almost every trailer and clip that has surfaced online? Is there some weird underground organization that is out to suppress the awesomeness of Kevin Bacon? I will continue to speculate.  In the meantime . . . check out these great new TV spots for the next superhero film that is going to be dominating this summer’s box-office.  It is the summer of the superhero and I got a feeling that this film might end up being the best of the bunch.

All clips are from Superhero Hype.

X-Men: First Class hits theaters this Friday, June 3.

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
