Rosamund Pike, the British actress who appeared most recently in Surrogates, may be playing Emma Frost, aka the White Queen in next summer’s X-Men: First Class, according to a story at Forces of Geek.
ccording to the site, Pike has been spotted in the offices of X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn’s casting director and also seen carrying Emma Frost comic books.
According to Wikipedia, Emma Frost is “an urbane, mutant telepath with a well-noted dry wit initially known as the White Queen (complete with revealing white attire for which she is known), Frost has changed from one of the X-Men’s most dangerous foes to one of its most central members.” Tahyna Tozzi played a younger version of Frost in the 2009 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
