Today /Film brings us news that plot details for both X-Men: First Class and Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides have been released. Although the details are fairly vague and touch on things that we either knew already or could have easily figured out, they are still welcome.
First up is a official press release from Disney which tells us a lot of information about the film but only a few things that we didn’t know. For the full press release check out /Film. We’ve included the only important part which is also really the only new information.
“In this action-packed tale of truth, betrayal, youth and demise, Captain Jack Sparrow crosses paths with a woman from his past (Penelope Cruz), and he’s not sure if it’s love–or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne’s Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.”
Next we have a very vague and small plot reveal for Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class. This comes from an auction for a visit to the set. In the description for the auction, a plot summary is included. Here it is:
Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-MEN.
Once again, not much but it does give us a general idea of what we can expect to see. Hopefully more details will emerge in the near future. We’ll be sure to keep you posted. Both films hit next summer.
Are you looking forward to these films?
