When the first image we’ve seen from director Matthew Vaughn and producer Bryan Singer‘s upcoming comic book adaptation, X-Men: First Class hit the web recently, the response was pretty deep into the negative.

The one hope was that the image, as it appeared, was either leaked early or a rush job that led to its lackluster debut, and that anything after that would be more promising. And here we are now!

Three new images have come to the surface courtesy of Hero Complex, and they might just make you feel a little bit better about X-Men: First Class. That’s because they don’t concentrate on the mutants so much as they do the 1960s time period the movie takes place in. Fans should particularly enjoy a glimpse at James McAvoy as a young Professor X and Michael Fassbender as a young Magneto head-to-head in a game of chess.

You can see the full poster (courtesy of AICN) and three new images by heading over to the other side now!
