And now today it seems that there has been a change in direction in a role that we thought was handed out a long time ago.
In late June it was strong rumor that Alice Eve would be getting the part of Emma Frost in the movie. And the more time that passed without anything being said about it, the more I figured that it was probably a rumor based in fact.
However, the news is now that January Jones will be playing Emma Frost in the upcoming X-Men flick instead.
Now, I'm a big fan of Alice Eve, so I'm a little disappointed. But the film makers have done a good job of picking their White Queen. There is no doubt about that.
Ms. Jones is famous for her role on Mad Men and is a very beautiful woman. With her skills and looks I'm sure that this is going to be a decision that everyone is happy with in the end.
Also, it's been reported that Oliver Platt has joined the cast of X-Men: First Class as well and will be playing the role of The Man in Black. There has been no character description given for Platt's role other than he will not be a villain or a mutant. The general feeling is that he will be a government agent of some sort.
And, I'm still waiting to find out what the official word is on the villain part that Kevin Bacon will be playing!
Stay tuned for more information as X-Men: First Class gets closer to filming.
