New PASSENGERS TV Spots Released; Plus Check Out Some Pics From Jennifer Lawrence's Vanity Fair Photoshoot

@Spock0Clock - [frick] i was about to disagree with u until i read this second comment, but does she need to be British?

@hufflepuff69 - Emma Frost seems like she should be British, doesn't she? But she was born in Massachusetts and as far as I know, raised there.

@StormXmen123 - Well, I'm assuming a few years for Marvel to get the X-Men back, so she'll be in her thirties by then.

@StormXmen123 - Unless it's specifically stated somewhere that her accent is English, it's probably a "Mid-Atlantic accent"

But that's a fairly dated thing nowadays. I think Frost has been portrayed as English in some cartoons (but Wolverine was Australian according to some cartoons, so go figure).

As for the X-Men in the MCU, there was a time I felt similarly (when it seemed for a hot minute like Fox was going to reboot the whole franchise following Days of Future Past and something like Tim Miller's version might become the Fox-verse), but I don't think that's where it's headed anymore. Reynolds cares about Reynolds, not continuity or source fidelity, and Fox has shown to be completely lost in the woods with or without Singer.

It's Feige or bust for me. And I have no interest in multiverse crossover events or something, since the silly logistics of crossing over universes is the one thing a shared universe doesn't have to deal with. Just have the mutants introduced into the world as an extremely rare thing and have Scott explain that no one has heard of the X-Men because "it's easy to stay under the radar with the world's most powerful telepath on your side".
