X-Men: First Class, characters and actors

Judging the above photos I sense that X-Men: First Class resembles the Tv series Star Trek: Deep Space 9, all look young and are wearing the same uniform, there is even one that looks like Lieutenant Worf.

Synopsis: 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 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.

Release Date: 3 June 2011
Director: Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass, Stardust, Layer Cake)
