Fox has released a potent scene from Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class that shows Professor Xavier explaining the rise of mutants to the CIA. Note the Prof's reference to nuclear-armed intermediate-ranged missiles in Turkey, which was a key element in the Cuban missile crisis, which evidently plays a major role in the origin-saga set in the 1960s.
X-Men: First Class opens nationwide on June 3rd.
Great Clip
