Updated: to include image of teaser poster
Earlier today, The Daily Blam ran with a pretty cool cast shot from the new X-Men: First Class movie. Not to be outdone, MSN Movies published the photo on their site as well.
The photo has since been pulled down from both sites, leading to speculation that it was either indeed a genuine shot that 20th Century Fox weren't ready to make available for mass consumption, or that it was a fanboy pic which fraudulently made its way onto The Daily Blam and MSN web sites.
If the latter is the case, it's a damn good photoshop job and hats off to the creator. Good job. If the former, you've all just had your first look at the cast of X-Men: First Class.
The film stars Rose Byrne, Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, and Michael Fassbender and is slated for a June 3 wide theatrical release.
Enjoy!
UPDATE: Yes, the pic is the real deal. And a few more have since been released. Still missing however, is a good shot of Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique. Gonna be hard to top Rebecca Romijn's look from 2006's X-men: The Last Stand.
Also, Pop on over to the L.A. Times to read a report from the stressed out set.
And the Teaser poster:
