We reported earlier today that actor Michael Fassbender could possibly play a young Magneto in an upcoming superhero film and some new information reveals the potential casting of another character. Forces of Geek is reporting that actress Rosamund Pike could be trying out to play Emma Frost in X-Men: First Class.
The site's source reveals that Pike was spotted at the offices of Lucinda Syson, who was the casting director for Matthew Vaughn on his last two films, Kick-Ass and Stardust and who will also likely be casting director of X-Men: First Class, which Vaughn is directing. The site also reports that Pike was spotted carrying a Emma Frost comic book as well.
Of course, none of this has been confirmed as of yet, but we'll be sure to keep you posted on any further X-Men: First Class news as soon as more information arrives.
X-Men: First Class comes to theaters June 3rd, 2011 and stars Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Caleb Landry Jones, Nicholas Hoult, Kevin Bacon, Jennifer Lawrence, Edi Gathegi, Jason Flemyng. The film is directed by Matthew Vaughn.
Um, I going to assume you are either a little behind on your reading, or just not much for doing your homework.
ReplyDeleteIt was actually almost 3 months ago that this story surfaced. Since then speculation turned from Rosamund Pike playing Emma Frost to her actually playing Moira MacTaggert. Unfortunately for super geeks everywhere neither role panned out.
Last week, (that would be around Aug, 20th), it was reported that Mad Men's, January Jones of all people, is now confirmed to play Emma Frost.
Maybe you should check date of your sources from now on.
