Marvel Studios skipped any X-Men announcements during Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, but that doesn't mean things have been sitting still. According to Deadline, Samara Weaving has been chosen to play Emma Frost in Marvel Studios' upcoming X-Men movie after an extensive casting search. I love the idea of Weaving joining the MCU as Emma Frost! Emma Frost first appeared in Marvel's X-Men comics during the 1980s as one of the franchise's most memorable villains. That's exactly why Emma Frost feels like such a perfect fit.
