Angel(We Assume Salvador) Cast In First Class, January Jones Playing Emma Frost!

Deadline are reporting that Zoe Kravitz(Thats right, its a girl!) is set to play Angel in Mathew Vaughn's upcoming prequel. I assumed this is a misprint and they meant Storm..but God knows with this movie! AND Alice Eve is not playing Emma Frost after all, January Jones is!..

According to Deadline..

20th Century Fox has rounded out the cast of X-Men: First Class, and the big surprise is that Mad Men star January Jones has been signed to play the role of Emma Frost, the gorgeous mutant with telepathic powers.

At the same time, director Matthew Vaughn has set Zoe Kravitz to play Angel, Jason Flemyng will play Azazel, the father of Nightcrawler; Bill Milner to play the young version of Magneto (Michael Fassbender), and Morgan Lily to play the Young Raven.





















Ok, we were assuming Deadline meant Storm..more on that in the update below. Anyway, there is also the change over from Alice Eve to Mad Men's January Jones. It was widely believed that Eve was official but apparently no deal was ever signed. Also some extra casting of the young Magneto(Bill Milner) in there too. Kravitz(daughter of Lenny) has previously appeared in No Reservations and The Brave One. Milner is a young English actor you may recognize if you happened to see the pretty damn good Son Of Rambow. Awww, ickle Magneto and Mystique! Now taking bets on the next character to get the diaper treatment.

Update: Its been brought to my attention that Kravitz could be playing a different Angel altogether, Angel Salvador(Tempest;..another word for Storm, Thanks P862010 ). Stay tuned until we get to the bottom of this anyway!

What do you folks make of this?

What the hell?
Yeah,"Angel" is the code name for Storm like with the others. Horrible name choosing,though.
Good news about Frost though,Eve is Ms.Marvel/Warbird!
JJ is HOT.

i believe P862010 could be right Zoe Kravitz as Angel Salvadore. Angel Salvadore uses Angel or Tempest for her name. but Zoe Kravitz could also be Storm

Well, she could make a convicing Angel Salvador.


That is a casting pick with Tessa Thompson as Angel

You reckon? Batter check into that. Most sites are running it as simple "!Angel" and a few reckon Deadline may have gotten the character wrong too. I'll look into it.

This casting is all over the place! Despite having Vaughn, I'm sure this will suck big time.

no eve as frost!!!!????!!!! halleua!!!!! same probably goes with pennington. now we can have eve as encantress or shana the she-devil and penington as iron fist/danny rand,captain marvel(an amalagam of mar-vell and noh-varr) or ka-zar in the marvel cinematic universe!!!! i wonder if all these rumurs consumed them so much that they disiperd from the news for awile while we were busy at sdcc until finally they made there coice(at least not with fux lol) in fact they probably made ther choise after lisining to the fans plead and decided to leaave the dark side and join the jedi like there prents before themlol!!!!as well as them relizing that fux and fony are bullshit and whould rather be at marvel/disney were they would enjoy there jobs and get good pay and good co-workers. this is the best miracle thats happend to me this year. all we neen now is for first class ghost rider 2 and the spidey reboot or any other fux and fony marvvel charecter projects to be scrapped and the rights revertd to marvel(ive said it twice and il say it again blade is secretly already back at marvel!!!) so keep your fingers crossed!!!!

Jones is better choice as Frost than Eve! Kravitz as Storm? I dont know is she good in acting? Looks are right thou!
Overall great casting... for now!

Bring Cyclops, Jean, Angel and Iceman in, make it a reboot and im happy!

THEHAWK - 8/17/2010, 6:32 PM
@Ror. I'm wiling to bet that is what they are doing. Hell, it could even be an in joke to the fans, making her an original X-Man, as a stand in for Warren Worthington III.

NOOOO!!!! January Jones is suppose to be Invisible Woman. Lol. But I also want Alice Eve as Ms. Marvel. [frick] Fox. They'll just ruin everybody's career in this. Haha. But I will admit, it is getting me interested.

bluesamari@ people have already seen sue storm on the the big screen and they were not impresed. i can garentee you audiences would rather see ms marvel,encantress,shanna,or sharon carter on screen who are new rather than seing a face they saw erlier that was a joke.

@P862010 -"well zoe is 5'2 dont think she is storm lol"

but yet Halle Berry is 5'6 and she play Storm. dont think the high makes any differet in this cast. both Halle and Zoe are short then actually Storm who is 5'11.

@HotHead you do know they're planning a reboot of Fantastic Four right? Or was there news Fox isn't gonna do that anymore? (which is the best case scenario cause then rights will go back to Marvel :) ) I do also want to see Ms. Marvel! That would be the best. And if Marvel is smart they would have Hayley Atwell portray both Carters but just with different hair and eye color IMO. Could definitely explain how Cap was mesmerized by Sharon, cause of her close resemblance to Peggy.

I've been defending the movie for a while, but it's getting pretty hard.

Here's an interesting tidbit. Kravitz is actually dating X3's Ben Foster(Angel). Some sites think this info is put out there to deliberately confuse, and in fact she will be playing Storm. I dunno, I;'m going to bed! If anyone gets to the bottom of this mail me!

P862010 - 8/17/2010, 8:12 PM
yeah ror the angel character i linked is also called tempest and tempest is also another word for a heavy storm lol

well like i said on Ponis article. im pretty good with Jones being cast. shes got a little bit of a skanier look thats perfect for Emma.

Fitting in Nightcrawlers birth would be hard since Rebecca Romijn is 9 years YOUNGER than Alan Cumming.

JANUARY JONES SOUNDS LIKE A Pornstar lol

Alice Eve would make the perfect Lionheart. She has the height, the buxom beauty, and seems willing to throw herself into a role ("She's Out of My League").

@ xBlaze96x

That's a funny story, because she played one in "The Girl Next Door".

This film will face the "Transformers 2" disease, no matter how bad the film is, it's still gonna make a half a billion $$$.

Glad that Eve is out of the picture. She is too frail and scrawny looking for Ms. Marvel, as some are suggesting now she can play that role. I hope not. Tabrett Bethell is perfect for Ms. Marvel, plus she knows how to kick ass.

So no one thinks January Jones looks too plain and bookwormish for Emma Frost?
Protonite
Protonite - 8/17/2010, 11:50 PM
@tazmaniak - Agree. Neither Alice Eve nor January Jones have the Emma Frost look, other than the color of their hair. Maybe someone who looks like Kim Cloutier but with ash-blonde hair.
