The Marvel Cinematic Universe is an ever-expanding franchise, with the studio bringing fans new titles on the big screen and streaming with a Disney+ subscription. Fans are always curious about upcoming Marvel movies, and that includes Jake Schreier's developing X-Men movie. Folks were hyped when Samara Weaving was confirmed to be playing Emma Frost, and fan art imagines what she might look like as that iconic mutant.
The X-Men's absence in the MCU was noticeable for fans who spent years watching the Marvel movies in order, although Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox finally opened the door for mutants to join the shared universe. Only time will tell what Schreier's X-Men movie will bring to the table, but folks are excited to see both Sadie Sink and Weaving as part of the cast. Artist Boss Logic whipped up some fan art to show what the latter might look like as Emma Frost, check it out below:
Just take my money at this point. The Ready or Not star looks truly incredible as Emma, and that's before we even see her in her iconic diamond form. And with a series of acclaimed performances on her resume, Weaving has both the talent and the look to pull off playing The White Queen. We'll just have to wait and see how comic-accurate her costume ends up being when Weaving debuts as her new character on the big screen.
The X-Men are wildly popular Marvel heroes, so news of Samara Weaving's casting quickly went viral online, especially for the hardcore fandom. And now that the Thunderbolts* director is actively casting, his mutant-centric movie has never felt more real. And I can't wait to see who else joins the burgeoning cast of this mysterious movie.
News of Samara Weaving's casting comes shortly after Sadie Sink was confirmed as Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The movie's ending saw her leave NYC and seemingly head upstate, with fans assuming she'll end up as the X-Mansion. But will she find Charles Xavier there or Emma Frost? Only time will tell.
Emma has a long history in X-Men comics, TV shows, video games, and more. She was played in live-action by January Jones in First Class, although not everyone was happy with her portrayal. Most recently the character appeared in X-Men '97, as well as the video game Marvel Rivals. Now we're getting another live-action version of the character, and it should be interesting to see if she's introduced as a hero or a villain.
The new X-Men movie is currently expected to hit theaters sometime in 2028, so hopefully we hear more about casting sooner rather than later. The next Marvel movie hitting theaters is Avengers: Doomsday on December 18th as part of the 2026 movie release list, and will feature a number of OG stars from Fox's X-Men franchise.
