X-Men: First Class Cast Revealed

Below is the official photo of the cast of X-Men: First Class in '60s era costume from the waist up. I think the costumes are pretty "blah". The photo looks like a fake due to the resemblance to a doctored picture, but it is legit. MSN released the photo before FOX was able to and have since taken off the photo from their site.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the actors are:

From left to right: Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Rose Bryne as Moira MacTaggert, January Jones as Emma Frost aka the White Queen, Jason Flemyng as Azazel, Nicholas Hoult as the Beast, Lucas Till as Havoc, Zoe Kravitz as Angel Salvadore, Jennifer Lawrence as Raven Darkholme aka Mystigue, and James McAvoy as Charles Xavier.

Don't be late. The first class starts on June 3, 2011.
