The MCU Reportedly Casts Emma Frost for 'X-Men,' Plus a Mystique Update

A trade report says Samara Weaving has been cast as Emma Frost in Marvel’s next MCU X-Men film, with tests reportedly completed in July.

Inde Navarrette confirmed she met with X-Men director Jake Schreier and said Mystique is a role she would be interested in playing.

Emma Frost’s possible inclusion has fueled speculation that Mister Sinister could be the movie’s villain, but Marvel has not confirmed anything.

The reports suggest Marvel is starting to lock in key mutants for the MCU reboot and hint at the team’s lineup and direction.
