Emma Frost hasn’t had a great run in the X-Men movies. After being left out of X-Men: The Last Stand in 2006, the actresses who followed – Tahyna MacManus and January Jones – didn’t quite capture the character. MacManus’ portrayal was widely disliked, and while Jones looked the part in X-Men: First Class, she didn’t convey Frost’s personality. Now that the X-Men are joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel has a chance to get Emma Frost right. They could follow a similar path to how Maddie Phillips developed her character, Cate Dunlap, in The Boys and Gen V, finally giving Frost the spotlight she deserves.
