According to the Coventry Telegraph, First Class started filming at the Kingsway Tram Subway, which is the last surviving section of the old underground network. V for Vendetta and one of the James Bond films were also filmed in this underground area. What's being filmed there? According to X-Men Films, "Some of the first scenes being filmed involve Charles Xavier attending Oxford University debating the mutant phenomenon, and Erik Lensherr dealing with the horrifying events in Auschwitz via a flashback sequence." No word yet as to how long they'll be shooting the film there.
It's cool to see that this film really will cover some history between Erik and Charles and not just graze over it in seconds. The film will be taking place during the 1960s and will retell the story of Charles and Erik's friendship and how they drifted a part. Although many people, including myself, have been incredibly critical of this film. The plot sounds like it has the backbone of a decent story.

In addition to the film news, there's also this logo floating around the net that many people are calling "the official logo for X-Men First Class." While it does look pretty official, and it also resembles the X-Men logos from previous films, isn't it a little too soon to be tossing out a logo for the film?
