As some of you may already know, Fox has been developing “X-Men: First Class” for some time now. The story would revolve around the first formation of the Xavier School For The Gifted and its inaugural batch of students (which go on to form the X-Men).
While the studio has yet to officially green light the movie, and while no director has been hired (or at least announced) one actor is claiming to already be cast in the movie.
Actor Tim Pocock (who played the young Scott Summer (aka Cyclops) in this summer’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”) has put up a post on his twitter account that claims he is indeed in the First Class movie:
“Currently shooting Australian TV series till February 2010…then X-Men: First Class.“
Is this a young actor just getting ahead of himself, or do you thin kFox is really set to move forward with this project? (source: Fused Film)
UPDATE: Pocock retweeted the following clarifying that his First Class update was a “cruel prank”
