Alice Eve (She’s Out of My League) is currently in negotiations to play telepathic mutant Emma Frost in Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class. Deadline doesn’t have any details beyond that, but I can see Eve in the part. The roles of Professor Charles Xavier, Magneto, and Beast have been filled by James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, and Benjamin Walker, respectively.
For those unfamiliar with the character of Emma Frost, she was formerly known as “The White Queen” and was a member of the villainous mutant super group, The Hellfire Club. In addition to strong telepathic powers, she also has the ability to shapeshift her skin into a diamond form that grants her increased strength and durability. Frost also possesses a dry wit and is known for her rocking body and highly revealing clothing, although I don’t think any of those really counts as a superpower.
