Director Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class is shaping up to have a pretty good cast. With James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, X-Men: First Class has a pretty good nucleus to build around. And that’s exactly what they are doing. Ben Walker is probably playing Beast (though that is unconfirmed), and Aaron Johnson has been rumored for Cyclops. But how about Emma Frost? Enjoy…
THR is reporting that She’s Out Of My League star Alice Eve is currently in negotiations for the part. Initially a villain in the X-Men universe, the character has the ability to turn her skin into diamond and is telepathic. The character has previously appeared in the film series, played by Tahyna Tozzi in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The role is the second comic book character that the actress has been up for in the last few months, originally on the shortlist to play Peggy Carter in next summer’s Captain America: The First Avenger, though the part eventually went to Hayley Atwell.
I still haven’t seen She’s Out Of My League. But from what I’ve heard/read she was actually good in it. Eve is gorgeous, so I have no problem with her becoming Emma Frost in the physical department. I’m still on the fence about the acting chops; but hey, for an X-Men movie, not much is needed apparently.
What do you guys think? Eve alright for Frost? Or you wanted someone else? Do you like how the cast is shaping up?
