"X-Men: First Class" (June 3)
In a nifty bit of repackaging, "Kick-Ass" dynamic duo Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman have concocted this prequel to the series. James McAvoy plays the young Charles Xavier, and Michael Fassbender ("Hunger") is the future Magneto. Jennifer Lawrence from "Winter's Bone" and January Jones from "Mad Men" fill out the hot cast list.
"Super 8" (June 10)
Another must-see film from J.J. Abrams, this purports to be Area 51 -- the horror movie. Steven Spielberg produces and Elle Fanning has top billing. Plot details are scant, but sometimes the less we know, the better.
