Samara Weaving To Star As Emma Frost In Marvel's X-MEN Movie

There is a lot of anticipation surrounding the "X-Men" franchise now that it's back in Marvel's hands after Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox and its library in 2019. Marvel Studios is gearing up for an upcoming "X-Men" movie that will be directed by Jack Schreier ("Thunderbolts") from a script by Lee Sung Jin ("Beef") and Joanna Calo ("The Bear"), and while the studio isn't revealing any details at this point, one casting detail has been unveiled.

Samara Weaving ("Ready or Not", "Over Your Dead Body") has been cast as Emma Frost. According to sources, Schreier and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige landed on the actress after meeting with a number of candidates. Only a few actors were selected for a final round of testing right after July 4th, and it seems Weaving won out. Marvel did not officially confirm.

Emma Frost is a telepathic mutant created by writer Chris Claremont and artist/co-writer John Byrne, who first appeared in "The Uncanny X-Men" #129 in January 1980. The character evolved over the years from a supervillain and foe of the X-Men to becoming a superhero and one of the team's most central members and leaders. On the big screen, Emma Frost was previously played by January Jones in 2011's "X-Men: First Class".

Formerly owned by 20th Cenrury Fox, the "X-Men" cinematic franchise includes thirteen live-action films released between 2000 and 2020, which grossed a combined $6 billion worldwide.
