It seems that a serious battle could unfold for the role of Emma Frost in Jake Schreier's upcoming "X-Men" reboot. Reputable insider MyTimeToShineHello reported that Marvel Studios is eyeing Margot Robbie for the role of the White Queen. She previously stated twice that the studio was also considering Sydney Sweeney.
Such a situation, where a studio has several candidates for one role at an early stage of production, is quite standard. However, in this case, the candidates themselves attract attention – it seems Marvel needs a big name. This hints that the White Queen will play a significant role in the future storylines of the "Mutant Saga" – the seventh phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
For now, all this information remains at the insider level, so it should be treated with caution. The "X-Men" reboot itself is currently in the script refinement stage. Director Jake Schreier has brought in the creators of the hit series "Beef" and "The Bear" – Lee Sung Jin and Joanna Calo – to work on it. The film's premiere is not expected before 2028.
