Learn Which Mutant Is About To Join Matthew Vaughn’s X-MEN: FIRST CLASS!!

I am – Hercules!! Deadline Hollywood reports that Alice Eve (“She’s Out Of My League”) is negotiating to play Emma Frost in “X-Men: First Class.” Nice choice, I say! Like Frost, Eve is blonde and piping hot and speaks with a British accent. Given that Eve is already 28, it’ll be interesting to learn whether she plays student, teacher, or something else entirely. Spoiler in invisotext. In another prequel, “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” there was a hot blonde with Frost’s diamond-skin powers. She was rescued, along with Cyclops and a bunch of other government-captured mutants by the Patrick Stewart version of Xavier. Frost, known as the White Queen, is kind of a mean girl telepath who has played for the good guys AND the bad guys in the Marvel universe over the years. (In the main Marvel funnybook universe she’s boning X-Men leader Scott “Cyclops” Summers, which has kept her tentatively on the side of good for the last decade or so.) “First Class” deals with the early relationship shared by Charles Xavier (James McEvoy) and Eric Lensherr (Michael Fassbender) before they became Professor X and Magneto, as well as the early days of Xavier’s school for mutants. It comes to us from the "Kick-Ass" team of writer-director Matthew Vaughn ("Layer Cake") and screenwriter Jane Goldman. Find all of Deadline’s story on the matter here.
