X-Men: First Class Finds Its School Skank

?Alice Eve, star of She’s Out of My League, has been cast as Emma Frost in the X-MenFirst Class prequel . She joins James McAvoy as Professor X, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Benjamin Walker as Beast. She also is the final nail in the coffin for any hopes that the X-Men movies would follow any semblance of the comics’ continuity, or even the movie’s already fucked-up continuity. I’m not actually too upset about it — I mean, if the X-Men movies had the power to make me upset, I’d have killed myself the moment Brett Ratner was hired for X-Men 3 — but it’s still annoying to see no one at Fox in charge of the X-Men franchise continue to give a shit. White Queen being a founding member of the Xavier’s School for Mutant Cannon Fodder/Gifted Students just seems wrong, and easily avoidable at that — just don’t have Emma Frost. Sigh. (Via /Film)
