Variety and Deadline report that Samara Weaving will play Emma Frost in Marvel Studios' upcoming X‑MEN reboot, directed by Jake Schreier. Deadline and other outlets identify the character as the White Queen, a mutant telepath from the X‑Men comics. One article frames the project as the studio's new X‑MEN movie for 2028. Industry coverage says the Emma Frost search was especially thorough, with auditions reported to have been happening since May. Coverage and early posts note this is the first confirmed casting for the film beyond prior isolated X‑Men character mentions and that additional casting announcements are expected soon.

I think we might get the X-Men news at D23 but I’m kinda glad that they didn’t do it at SDCC in my opinion @mvbrat10.bsky.social @nerdobaggins.bsky.social @ryanjrobotham.bsky.social @bvlikeslinguica.bsky.social @gonzaegonza91.bsky.social @scalawagjack.bsky.social @thanosprime.bsky.social

X-Men is one of those properties where you can cast the actors that you want to work with, and then find a mutant that suits them.

I like Emma Frost and I like Samara Weaving. So this is good news to me. In case anyone was wondering.

She'll do a great job, and I'm glad that Marvel has enough plans for the character to pick someone like Weaving.

@tylerhuckabee.bsky.social

Emma Frost is tricky adaptationally because (1) the vast amount of lore involved, (2) fundamentally kinky character in a notoriously unhorny cinematic universe and (3) homeschool mom. The MCU might be able to navigate one, *possibly* two of these. All three ...Godspeed, Feige.

If she shows up without her tall purple daughter who turns into a huge cat I’m going to scream.

Samara Weaving weaving is a talented actress who is more than capable of pulling off Emma Frost's snooty high class sass, as well as her more dangerous femme fatale tendencies.

And if your concerned about her "looking the part," well see for yourself. 😂

“What makes her a great choice.” Fucking look at her and her acting skills???

Gonza Gonzalez1

How can a talented actress pull off a character?? Such a mystery! I'm joking but i'm afraid some people are gonna talk shit just cause they wanted someone who looks like Marvel Rivals Emma

@victorperfecto.bsky.social

While we're talking Samara Weaving, and because it's me, I'd like to point out how excited I was for her to play Scarlett in the Snake-Eyes movie and how badly they fumbled and underutilized her

Vic! Perfecto4

How do you go out of your way to include Scarlett in a Snake-Eyes feature but NOT write a romance between Scarlett and Snake-Eyes?!?

Maynard Collector2

Well they screwed up everything else in the movie.

I imagine that, right now, Samara Weaving is consulting with Rosamund Pike on cunty bobs.

Wow! I didn't think we would get some official (going by the source) news relating to X-Men casting, but WOW! Samara Weaving is a great choice for Emma Frost (I know very nominally about her)!
