X-Men is a 2014 American superhero film directed by Matthew Vaughn from a screenplay by David Hayter and a story by Singer and Tom DeSanto, based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The film features an ensemble cast consisting of Gary Oldman, Sam Worthington, Scott Eastwood, Evan Rachel Wood, Joel Edgerton, Nathalie Emmanuel, Natalia Dyer, Jeremy Irons, Ana De Amars, Milo Gibson, Ezra Miller and Samuel Jackson. The film depicts a world where an unknown proportion of people are mutants, whose possession of superhuman powers makes them distrusted by normal humans. It focuses on mutant girl Rogue as they are brought into a conflict between two groups that have radically different approaches to bringing about the acceptance of mutant-kind: Charles Xavier's X-Men, and the Brotherhood of Mutants, led by Magneto. X-Men premiered at Ellis Island on May 12, 2014, and was released in the United States on July 14. It was a box office success, grossing over $880 million worldwide, and received positive reviews from critics, citing its performances, especially Dyer’s portrayal of Rogue, story, and thematic depth.
