Not getting enough Betty Draper in this season of *Mad Men *so far? Well you **January Jones **fans have something new to look forward to: *Deadline *reports](January Jones Set For 'X-Men: First Class') the actress has been cast in the role of Emma Frost (aka White Queen) in X-Men: First Class](X-Men: First Class (2011) - Movie | Moviefone). So apparently Alice Eve did not get the part? This character has gone through a few possible names, with Rosamund Pike linked before Eve, but with production nearing Jones is now the one signed and locked. And I couldn’t be happier, because I know she’s a terrific actress and she looks damn good in a corset (she just needs to switch that black one on the right to white and she’s all set).
In addition to Jones, a few more people have been cast in the superhero origins tale, including **Zoe Kravitz **(Twelve), as Angel, who I guess is a different version of the winged character from the one played by Ben Foster in X-Men: The Last Stand, **Bill Milner **(Son of Rambow) as the younger Erik Lensherr/Magneto, who is also being portrayed older in the film by Michael Fassbender, and **Morgan Lily **(2012) as the young Raven/Mystique prior to Jennifer Lawrence inhabiting the role. Also confirmed: **Oliver Platt **as “The Man in Black.” And I don’t think that’s Johnny Cash, but wouldn’t that be interesting?
What do you think of the latest casting additions to the over-flowing talent in X-Men: First Class?Filed under: Casting, Sony, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels
