    Default Live action "Emma Frost"

    It's fair to say we have never had a satisfying live action Emma Frost and considering how maligned she was in IVX I think it could be fun to post clips of actresses playing parts that have embodied Emma Frost.

    1. Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil – Glenn Close - Dangerous Liaisons

    I'll accept no one but Rosamund Pike. She essentially played the character in Gone Girl.

    Amy Dunne is so not Emma Frost.

    But, Rosamund Pike is a great actor, so I wouldn't be against it.

    I do think January Jones could play a perfect Emma Frost, she just didn't have much to do other than play a Bond girl in First Class.

    It's sad because visually January Jones was PERFECT for the role. But her actual performance was so lackluster.

    I was pushing her for Captain Marvel but what about Yvonne Strahovski? I know she's not as curvy as Emma but she still oozes sex appeal and certainly can pull off manipulative and scheming roles.

    It didn't take when it was made, but I thank the derpy Gen-X tv pilot film for Finola Hughes. She was great for the character at that point in publishing time.

    I was really less talking about an actual casting for Emma and more of performances that felt like that they had the essence of Emma.

    Billie Piper - Lily - Penny Dreadful.

    If only Eva Green could pull off a blonde. Or the woman who played the last surviving witch. They could handle the attitude for sure.

    In the Cyke Appreciation thread this lady was listed as an Emma possibility...

    Your favorite superhero- the one you visit these forums to talk about. Would they talk to others the way you do on this message board?

    If Kari Wahlgren grew her hair out maybe she could play Emma in live-action as well ?

    If they don't have to embody physical appearance,too,Robin Wright as Claire Underwood in House of Cards.Could work for Psylocke,as well.

    Talking about Penny Dreadful, Vanessa's death by Ethan at the end totally felt like a Jean/Wolverine thing lol.
