Sydney Sweeney Has a Rival: Margot Robbie Eyed for Emma Frost Role, Insider Says

Casting rumors for the upcoming X-Men reboot continue to circulate.

Competition for the role of Emma Frost might intensify. Insider MyTimeToShineHello reports that Marvel Studios is considering Margot Robbie for the White Queen. This source previously linked Sydney Sweeney to the same role.

Studios often scout multiple actors during early production phases. The specific choices suggest Marvel wants a high-profile name for this character. The White Queen may hold a significant position in the Mutants Saga, which forms the seventh phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

These reports remain unverified. The X-Men production team is currently refining the script. Director Jake Schreier hired Lee Sung-jin and Joanna Calo, known for their work on Beef and The Bear, to handle the writing. The film is expected to premiere no sooner than 2028.
