A bunch of new international character posters have appeared online for X-Men: First Class. Maybe you’re wondering why we haven’t gotten any character posters for this movie domestically. Maybe you’re wondering why all we’ve gotten for the film is this one sort of bland poster with an “X” on it and this other photoshopped monstrosity, even though the movie’s being released in theaters this weekend. Answer: X-Men is owned by 20th Century Fox.
But X-Men: First Class shouldn’t suffer just because its parent company doesn’t pay any attention to fans on the internet. The filmmakers involved have nothing to do with the lawyer-run company’s strange views on marketing. So enjoy these pretty awesome international character posters, and the next time you see Rupert Murdoch, ask him why he doesn’t want you to posterize January Jones’ rack.
