January Jones is Emma Frost in ‘X-Men: First Class’

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Forget Rosamund Pike and Alice Eve. January Jones from “Mad Men” is set to play Emma Frost in the upcoming movie “X-Men Origins: First Class.” According to blogs, 20th Century Fox has announced the cast for the movie.

This is the third casting call for Emma Frost. For now, here are some images of January Jones:



Now, I have to watch “Mad Men.”

    Another re cast? My lord how many times are they going to officially get the right one. In my opinion they should just cast ali larter and they won’t go wrong.

  • NB

    Not strictly a recast as the deal with Alice Eve was apparently never finalized. Maybe she got frosty feet? :)

    And here’s a few scenes from “Mad Men” in case someones’s interested.

    Just to clear things up up- Alice Eve left the project because she disliked the changes made to the script (I assume Emma must of had a big-part before the re-write). http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=21641
    Imho…. I think this film will flop. Late 20′s Emma Frost even though before she appeared to be a teenager before (age 10 years in about 2? I don’t think so), love interest with Charles and Erik, no Cyclops or Jean to be in (I wanted Emma to kick Jeans ass), and many other stuff.

    Aghh! Everything about this “X-Men First Class” movie seems so rumor-y. I’m getting really annoyed with all this “anonymous sources told me…” crap.

    They should call it X-Men Beginnings instead. Emma will be the girl that adds to the Xavier/Magneto fallout with Emma running to join the Hellfire club. Then at the end of the film years later Xavier opens the gate to his new school welcoming young teens Scott, Jean and Storm continuing into the sequel call The First Class.

    I’d much prefer that. I want a PROPER First Class. In X1, Charles says Scott Jean and Ororo where some of his first students. Looks to me they were no where near first

  • bruce

    Looks like this prequel is set in the past before any of the original students were even born.

    -Emma has a hit show in the 60s called “Mad Men” and she won’t show as such skin as her comic counterpart, aw come on that’s why we like her

    So if this was set in the sixties, with January Jones appearing to play a mid-20′s version of Emma Frost. That means, she was born approximately in the 1940′s. So she’s about 70 years old these days?

    Anyways, any sort of continuity in comic books is the real fantasy of them.

    I don’t think she will be too bad as Emma
