Samara Weaving is reportedly joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a major role in the studio’s reboot of the X-Men. According to the report, the "Ready or Not" actor has been cast as Emma Frost in the upcoming film.
The project is described as Marvel’s new take on the X-Men, with Jake Schreier attached to direct. That makes Weaving one of the notable names linked to the reboot as Marvel continues to reshape the mutant franchise for the MCU.
Emma Frost is one of the better-known figures from X-Men comics, a character whose place in the story has shifted over time. Her inclusion suggests the reboot could draw from familiar mutant storylines while also introducing a fresh screen version for Marvel’s current universe.
For Weaving, the role would mark a high-profile move from horror and thriller hits into one of Hollywood’s biggest superhero franchises. While broader plot details for the Marvel X-Men reboot remain limited, the casting of Emma Frost is likely to spark immediate interest among comic book and MCU fans.
