I'm praying my queen Emma Frost will finally get the justice and recognition she deserves in the MCU soon

Marvel, please! Emma has been done so dirty, and for all she has brought to the X-Men for so many years. It doesn't even make sense why she keeps getting the short end of the stick. Marvel Rivals has proven that she has the potential to become one of the most popular mainstream Marvel characters! And in the comics she became one of the greatest mutant leaders, up there with Xavier and Magneto! So she only deserves the best! No more disrespect! Give her her proper dues!

She will definitely get some pants.

mike_pants2025-10-25 12:48

She's wearing pants in the picture, silly. British pants, but still.

Big_Epsilon2025-10-25 13:02

Not gonna argue with this guy, Mike clearly knows pants

Because women characters aren't overly sexualized?

There is no reason why anime is overtaking comic book movies. None at all

Moanopoly162025-10-25 12:05

Emma Frost hitting the MCU? Yes, please! She’d bring that icy badass vibe we've been missing. Just hope they nail her complexity, not just the cool looks and powers. Anyone else feels she’d steal every scene she’s in?

SharpshootinTearaway2025-10-25 12:56

>Anyone else feels she’d steal every scene she’s in?

She 100% could, but they need to really nail the casting for that.

I can think of a few extremely charismatic and intimidating actresses, but none of them looks like Emma Frost (Bellucci, Bonham-Carter, Salma Hayek), or they have already played characters in the MCU (Cate Blanchett, Charlize Theron)...

Most of the younger actresses I see fans put forward are too... cute? and not intimidating enough for the role, imo. The new generations of actors in general look attractive and are talented, but tend to lack that otherworldly magnetism that old school actors used to have, which gave them the kind of charisma a character like Emma Frost needs to have.

why would she be wearing uncovered underwear, I never understood the way some characters are drawn

TheSChen2025-10-25 12:20

Really? While there’s no in-universe reason, it’s obvious why. Boys. Fantasy.

That's why I love the swimsuit specials. For a [brief](https://i.redd.it/fry88v5rkd451.jpg) moment the male characters get [objectified](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/657621ce0ce0b50f9cb7bdc3/458c2ae2-23bc-4f5f-899b-87e7e6e69818/Punisher_1993.JPG) too.

A brief moment? Can get away with more nudity for guys if anything.

HereWeFuckingGooo2025-10-26 11:15

When? Where? The majority of male superheroes are covered from head to toe while the majority of female superheroes are wearing dental floss and post-its. It's been a [running joke](https://www.cbr.com/the-line-it-is-drawn-79-male-superheroes-see-how-the-other-side-lives/) forever.

Hell, male nudity is such a crime in comics that when they showed [The Batpenis](https://bleedingcool.com/comics/dc-comics-batpenis-censor-digital-batman-damned-1/), the fans lost their minds so much DC had to censor it.

FreeStall422025-10-27 09:17

Talking about in media in general not just comics.

Have seen the big blue dong in theaters. Seen alot more penis on screen than vagina

HereWeFuckingGooo2025-10-27 13:26

The conversation wasn't about the media in general, it was about comics... but whatever...

You obviously don't get it. Dr Manhattan's CGI dick from 16 years ago doesn't undo the decades of women being objectified in media. By your metric men are sexualised more often than women because they're topless more. I mean... I've seen more male nips than female nips on screen.

It's not about the amount of skin shown, it's the way it's shown. The increase in male nudity in media over the last decade is a direct response to how women have been expected to be nude in media, but even then it's a lot of prosthetic penises and the naked male body is rarely ever objectified the same way women are.

Wolventec2025-10-26 02:19

she probably isnt wearing that outft but uses [her powers to making it seem like she is wearing ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Marvel/comments/mviplv/emma_frost_deals_with_the_difficult_conundrum_of/#lightbox)

CeruleanEidolon2025-10-26 14:41

With Emma there are actually in-universe reasons, unlike most other characters who wear scanty or painted-on outfits.

Emma is an exhibitionist who loves fashion and often uses her distracting outfits to gain advantage against opponents. I remember reading an issue where she says she's a full on nudist and wouldn't wear clothes at all if she could get away with it, but this stuff is basically ungooglable because of the petabytes of rule 34 content out there, so good luck finding it.

QueSeraSeraWWBWB2025-10-25 13:41

So we never forget where she came from.

Greatest-Comrade2025-10-25 16:45

I completely understand wanting high sex appeal designs and don’t necessarily see a problem with it, but i definitely think shit like this is just lazy/crappy. You can have hot, showy, good designs, that also aren’t just the character in panties.

xyzsomething2025-10-25 17:34

Yes exactly, you can have and should have sexy, nothing wrong with that, but making the character wear panties outside is just weird, it has nothing to do with being a puritan or anything like that, it is just that a person that powerful simply wouldn’t be out on her underwear, actually no woman or man would but specially one that powerful simply wouldn't

Organic_Percentage392025-10-26 04:47

Whatever you do don’t look her up in Marvel Rivals…
I played for a while when it came out but quit a while back and now it’s just insane the way they make some of these women look…

TheWolfmanZ2025-10-25 23:16

Part of it was that Claremont was an unashamed kinkster, and reflected that in a lot of the characters he wrote. Emma is an example of this, as she's essentially a professional domme in a BDSM club. Later writers such as Grant Morrison have expanded upon this, where they wrote her backstory explaining that everything about her is a facade due to an abusive childhood giving her severe problems with her self worth. Up until Krakoa where she was reborn, she was canonically a flat chested brunette who used hair dye and implants to give her a body she could feel better in.

EJ_REDIT2025-10-25 12:15

Dear god please. I love Emma, my all time favorite marvel character and if the MCU can do her Justice I would be so happy. She’s a teacher first and that better be what they focus on, and let her be a villain first before the redemption since that’s always so great to see

RogueEyebrow2025-10-25 15:50

I think her start as a villain is integral, because it provides her a strong character arc, and gives context to her snarkiness with the other heroes, like her interactions with Kitty.

EJ_REDIT2025-10-25 15:52

Definitely. I would love to see a Hellfire Club series that has Emma as the lead, we haven’t really gotten a series focusing on a full villain, even Agatha and Loki were more anti-hero, letting Emma be a villain that cares for her students and shows some pity would be the perfect way for her to start in the MCU

jakolantern22025-10-25 21:28

Please let it be rater R

JeffCaven2025-10-26 12:02

Was Agatha really an anti-hero in her series? I think she's a villain all through her series with some sympathetic qualities. She plots to kill every other character throughout the series and gain their powers, and actually gets her way with one of the other witches.

DuckyHornet2025-10-25 12:16

At this point, I don't want the mutants in the MCU post Secret Wars. Their whole thing is too complex to share room with the rest, there's way too many characters with fierce fandoms, the political bent to everything about them, it's just too much long-term. I think like "waking up" mutations in people who already exist, like Kamala, is best but maybe avoid the usual suspects. We don't need yet another Dark Phoenix adaptation

Unusual_Candle_42522025-10-25 12:29

We need another Dark Phoenix adaptation. This time it will be right, 100% ;)

MusicLikeOxygen2025-10-25 14:03

They should definitely hire Simon Kinberg to write it for a third time. Surely he's learned how to do it properly by now.

UltimateSandman2025-10-25 15:29

Don't say that in r/xmen, a whole bunch of comicbook fans are hardstuck in the 80s and genuinely believe the 5th DPS adaptation will be money.

16tdean2025-10-25 13:37

There is no point in bringing in the X-men without going all into the politics and social issues of mutants.

And with it being disney, I think they will want to sanitize things.

BiddyKing2025-10-25 12:50

She won’t

EXGShadow2025-10-25 13:07

You'll get a 5 second January Jones cameo in Doomsday and you'll like it

Which comic is this Emma outfit from?

Asking for a friend

Xxjacklexx2025-10-27 03:05

No no, it’s for me.

Nittanian2025-10-27 17:13

Looks like the piece was a commission from SDCC.

https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1411696

The outfit is based on her Hellfire Club attire from the Dark Phoenix Saga.

Xxjacklexx2025-10-28 05:26

Awesome, cheers!

Existing-Bus-88102025-10-25 14:25

I hope so, too. I also hope they do Jamie Maddrox some justice as well. I would love it if they made an x factor investigations series.

tmfitz72025-10-25 14:41

I doubt it, anti-heroes take time to set up, time Disney barely invests in main characters, plus she’s not integral to any X-Men story they could try to tell, not to mention she’s a sexualized character that Disney would not approve of.

There’s almost no reason outside of fan service and telling a Scott/Jean love triangle story. The idea that they would do Krakoa without her is high, hellfire club- sure, and there’s no way they setup a Tony marriage or anything she’s done recently in the comics.

FictionFantom2025-10-25 15:59

Mizerous2025-10-26 04:09

After F4 they are likely doing Jean and Scott properly

N8CCRG2025-10-25 16:36

The Gifted was a really bad show, even worse than Inhumans, but it still had a few gems, and the Frost triplets were one of them.

collinwade2025-10-25 18:35

After that wooden January Jones performance it’s a low bar to clear.

spidervenom6192025-10-25 20:24

I will give her 1 movie before the Dudebros will turn on her just like what they did with every other Female character.

Champagnekudo2025-10-25 21:08

Dw. She won’t

Nightwing06132025-10-25 22:30

Let’s hope she has that costume as well

Grayx_28872025-10-25 23:08

If they can do her character right in the post-Secret Wars era of the MCU.

tehCharo2025-10-26 00:27

No chance she wears her typical outfits in live action form though.

_Levitated_Shield_2025-10-26 00:47

Eh. I don't know about that tbh, chief.

Organic_Percentage392025-10-26 04:51

“Popular” is definitely one word to use…

Fallenjace2025-10-26 00:59

A proper Emma Frost and Mystique, are solely needed.

writeman002025-10-26 01:43

Fox wasted her twice.

Least_Rain80272025-10-26 05:27

Marvel don't make the gooners happy please. give her an actual suit that makes sense to fight in!

EmeraldEmp2025-10-26 05:39

But she's the one character where it actually makes sense. It is a big part of who she is and she uses her sex appeal to her advantage.

Least_Rain80272025-10-26 05:59

that can be done with also being practical

kennyofthegulch2025-10-26 14:19

* wears lingerie only 24/7
* teaches adolescent boys
* can read minds
* that's kinda fucked up

Bruhimonlyeleven2025-10-26 21:08

Dove Cameron, Anya Taylor joy, elizabeth debicki or Anna Sophia Robb should play her, but they'll probably cast Sydney Sweeny, or Julia garner (im not a fan of her, didn't like her in Ozark, something about her makes me uncomfortable)

If they plan to race swap, Jodie Turner-Smith is the only acceptable choice. She is so stunningly beautiful that it's insane.

Amber heard was in talks to play Emma recently, or so I heard. 20 years ago when she did drive angry it would have fit, but not so much now. Plus she is a PR nightmare.

Sentry-10002025-10-26 22:48

Well she will be playing a bigger role in X-Men 97

twentyitalians2025-10-27 01:13

Mmmmm icy dommy mommy

Hevens-assassin2025-10-27 01:28

As an X-Men extended character, don't count on it before Secret Wars, unfortunately
