The X-Men franchise will get a bit of a reboot next weekend with the release of the prequel, 'X-Men: First Class,' exploring the origins of the mutant super-group. Four cast members -- James McAvoy, January Jones, Zoe Kravitz, and Bill Milner -- appeared on 'Today' (weekdays, 7AM on NBC) to talk about the film and revealed their choices if they could have any superpower they wanted.Jones, who plays Emma Frost, would want to have the power of flight, which was Milner's choice at first, but he changed it to wanting a tail. Why would he want a tail? "Dunno," he said, "I think it'd look nice. I can hold a lemonade while I'm on the computer."
Matt Lauer pointed out that a tail is an appendage, not a superpower, and asked if anyone wanted to be able to shoot webs from their hands. McAvoy, who plays Professor X, said that would be hard to explain to your mother when she went to wash your sheet. Spider-Man is a teenager, after all.
