Samara Weaving will move from “Ready or Not” to the MCU.

The Australian actress has been cast in Marvel’s reboot of “The X-Men.” Weaving will play Emma Frost, who in comics lore has moved from supervillain to superhero over the course of the mutant’s long, long run in print. Telepathy is her jam.

A rep for Weaving declined to comment, and a rep for Marvel did not respond to a request for comment.
