Deadline reports that more talented actors have auditioned for X-Men First Class. They confirm the previous rumor of Aaron Johnson (Nowhere Boy, Kick-Ass) testing along with Andrew Garfield (Never Let Me Go, Red Riding) who also auditioned for Spider-Man. Other actors like Eddie Redmayne (Savage Grace) and Jack Houston (Outlander) have also tested for roles. The site also confirms the involvement of Ben Walker, Amber Heard and Rosamund Pike. I mentioned before that Eddie would make a great Banshee, I could also see Jack Houston playing Gambit.
CBM caught wind of actress/model Jasmine Dustin tweeting she had auditioned for the role of young a Raven Darkholme (Mystique). Which could mean that Amber Heard is more than likely inline for Jean Grey or Emma Frost (if they're including her).
There was word yesterday that First Class will be the first movie to start off Fox's connective Marvel film universe. It's possible some of these roles could be for heroes outside the X-Men universe (Daredevil, Fantastic Four). We could see more high profiled actors being cast in supporting roles which might lead to future spin-offs. I expect there will be spin-offs for Gambit, Cyclops and Cable/X-Force (previously mentioned).
