Each superhero movie coming out this summer has something special to offer, according to “X-Men: First Class” star Lucas Till. While sitting with fellow stars Zoë Kravitz and Rose Byrne, he was asked what separated “X-Men” from the other superhero movies we’ll soon be seeing.
“The question I wish you would ask me was, ‘How awesome does this summer look?’ Because you’ve got completely different things," till told MTV News. "You’ve got, like, with ‘Captain America,’ you got a 1940s pulp movie feel and I feel like that’s going to be its own separate thing and fun and entertaining. And then you got ‘Thor,’ which is like a cool ‘He-Man’ episode — which I was thoroughly surprised with.”
“And then you've got ‘Green Lantern,’ which I thought was going to be stupid, but kind of looks like a cool cartoon,” he continued. “And you got this one, which is all the answers we’ve been giving today."
Till went on to list some of the specific qualities that — he believes — allow "First Class" to compete in this summer's crowded superhero movie scene.
"There are so many metaphors to real life [in 'X-Men: First Class']," he explained. "There’s actually character development. I feel like you would care about the characters. And there’s an ensemble cast, you know, which they’re trying to do with ‘Justice League’ and ‘Avengers.’”
