Alice Eve could be playing X-Men’s Emma Frost

Celebrity Update Alice Eve is reportedly in negotiations to join the cast of X-Men: First Class as the telepathic mutant. X-Men franchise producer Lauren Shuler Donner said we’d be finding out “soon” about more casting updates for X-Men: First Class and she wasn’t kidding. With the X-Men prequel set to being production in August and some key characters cast already, we’re just starting to see producer Bryan Singer and director Matthew Vaughn fill out the ranks of the X-Men: First Class roster.

The latest character about to be confirmed is that of Emma Frost (aka. the White Queen) who once fought against the X-Men but later joined them. Emma Frost is a main character in the current X-Men comics and she was mistreated included in last summer’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, leading to the obvious inclusion of her character in X-Men: First Class.
