Let the X-Men Casting Officially Begin

Deadline has the scope as reported by Justin Kroll in ‘X-Men’: Samara Weaving Lands Role Of Emma Frost In Upcoming Marvel Studios Pic.

Marvel Studios seems to be getting closer to forming its team of Mutants. Sources tell Deadline that Samara Weaving is the choice to play Emma Frost in the upcoming X-Men movie.

I don’t recognize Weaving. The only thing I’ve seen her in is the Bill and Ted reboot film. That film itself is not that memorable for me, but that’s no shame for her. Apparently, it’s been a good year so far for the actor.

In March, she led Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, the sequel to the 2019 hit horror-comedy Ready or Not, which saw her step back into the role of fierce protagonist Grace MacCaullay. The sequel achieved an audience approval rating of 90%, a rare feat for a horror/thriller genre film, and grossed three times its production budget within a single day of its May 5 digital release, climbing to the No. 1 spot on Hulu and ranking high globally on Disney+.

I feel like I should go check out this movie and sequel. Sometimes I like horror, sometimes not. All the same, this is super interesting news.

Hmmmmm, I wonder why we’re hearing casting news for X-Men now?
