While the original X-Men comics have Mystique performing the beast with two backs with Azazel and giving birth to the character known as Nightcrawler, Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class seems to be going in a different direction. While Azazel is actually in the film - played by Jason Flemyng - the budding romance seems to be between Mystique and a young Hank McCoy, played by Nicholas Hoult. They're mutual interest in each other was on full display in the clip that premiered yesterday, but this time they're not messing around.

Posted by Access Hollywood, the new clip features Hank inviting Mystique down to the Blackbird hanger to take some blood samples. Ashamed by his mutation, he is trying to make a serum that could make him appear normal and considering Mystique's ability to change her appearance at will, he thinks that her blood may be the key. Whether that's true or not is a different story entirely.

Check out the clip below.
