In a recent interview while promoting her latest movie,
Unknown, the actress was quizzed about the setting of the upcoming
X-Men: First Class.
Appropriately enough, her first foray into X-Men territory will take place in the Mad Men era.
"When I was first approached, they were like 'By the way, it’s 1962,'" she says with a note of amused exasperation. "I was like 'You must be kidding me.'"
But here's the interesting thing the site mention:
A three-movie deal to play the buxom Emma Frost...
A three picture deal? I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that this is the first we've heard of the actress signing up to play the character in more than just
X-Men: First Class! While it's fairly standard these days for actors to sign up for sequels (even Tom Hardy recently revealed that he's set to return for
Inception 2 if Christopher Nolan decided to make it) the fact the the
Mad Men star has committed to three movies shows that Fox clearly have big plans for the 1960's set prequels and will not be starting work on
X-Men 4 any time soon!
X-Men: First Class is set to be released on June 3, later this year!
