Katniss Everdeen And Jack The Giant Killer Sit Together In New X-Men: First Class Still

Now that Jennifer Lawrence has been cast as Katniss Everdeen in Gary Ross's film adaptation of The Hunger Games, the folks at Fox have a pretty solid ace up their sleeve when it comes to X-Men: First Class. After all, while Lawrence earned acclaim for her performance in Winter's Bone, many more people are going to get their first taste of the actress through the blockbuster superhero film in which she plays the shape-shifter Mystique. As a result, you can expect that she will be a pretty big part of the marketing from here on out, starting now.

The X-Men Movies Facebook page has released a new still from the Matthew Vaughn movie and while it's labeled "Nicholas Hoult as Hank McCoy/Beast" it's hard not to notice that he happens to be sitting right across from Miss Lawrence. It's a pretty standard still and one taken directly from a scene shown in the first trailer, but I will say that I like seeing the Blackbird hanging up on strings and the giant fan makes for a cool looking background.

Check out the still below and for for from X-Men: First Class, be sure to check out our Blend Film Database.
