Is Emma Frost Part Of New X-Men Sequel Or Not?

January Jones, who played Emma Frost in "X-Men: First Class," tells Collider that she doesn't think she'll be back for the upcoming sequel "X-Men: Days of Future Past"


A story late last year indicated that Frost was indeed part of the mix--And why not? Everyone else is back...Jones says "I don’t know that I’m in it, I don’t think Emma’s in this one. Well they haven’t told me if I am (laughs)"

The entire FC cast is set to reprise their roles, including James McAvoy (Professor X), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), and Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), Rose Byrne (Moira MacTaggert), and Nicholas Hoult (Beast).Sir Ian McKellen Sir Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman are already poised to return again as well. While it was hoped that Halle Berry (Storm) and James Marsden (Cyclops) would be back

Bryan Singer penned the treatment and produced 'First Class' which was directed by Matthew Vaughn. Now, their roles will be completely reversed for this sequel with Singer helming the film while Vaughn wrote the treatment and will produce with Lauren Shuler Donner and writer Simon Kinberg.

The sequel is based on a -2 issue story arc in the 'X-Men' comics published in 1981. Kinberg (Sherlock Holmes) is on board to pen the screenplay which will include New Mutants. Magneto and his relationship with Charles X. Xavier will be front and center as well.

Scheduled to begin shooting soon, "X-Men: Days Of Future Past" hits screens July 18th 2014.
