Amber Heard to become Mystique?
Our report last week indicated that Pike could be gearing up to play Emma Frost, but this new story reveals she's actually up for the role of Moira McTaggert, Professor X's assistant. The site reports that there is "strong interest" from the studio for both Pike and Heard, who would be playing a young Mystique.
Interestingly enough, the site listed that there was also strong interest in Michael Fassbender for Magneto, as we also reported last week, but apparently Fassbender is refusing to test for the role. Our earlier report also indicated that Fassbender was also up for a villain role in the Untitled Spider-Man Reboot.
The site is also saying that Aaron Johnson is being eyed for an unspecified role in the film, which could put him in the same situation as Fassbender, since we also reported last week that Johnson could be a top contender to portray Peter Parker in the Untitled Spider-Man Reboot.
We'll be sure to keep you posted with any updated on either X-Men: First Class or the Untitled Spider-Man Reboot as soon as we have more information.
X-Men: First Class was released June 3rd, 2011 and stars James McAvoy, Laurence Belcher, Michael Fassbender, Bill Milner, Kevin Bacon, Rose Byrne, Jennifer Lawrence, Beth Goddard. The film is directed by Matthew Vaughn.

Its best if Rebecca Rominj played her usual role.I dont think anyone can be mystique.

Rosamund Pike as Moira McTaggart makes way more sense than her playing Emma Frost. The last thing they need to do is screw up continuity of the reboot like they did in the other films by getting the characters' ages wrong.

see i agree with @ed-wood on this one, just doesn't sit well with me, i thought the original franchise and i cant believe i said that cause it was not that long did very well accept for messing up the phoenix and cyclops i like it, and i really like how wolverine" Hugh Jackman" in the forest scene was pulling spikes out of him and at the end it was him stabbing her " jean grey" and putting her down and come on don't tell me im the only one you liked it when she kept hitting him with a psychic blast and you saw his skin, muscle's and the animatium underneath then watching it re heal almost instantly. the problem with alot of hardcore fans like even me is we are not being to realistic about what were gonna get out of these great cartoons/comic being turn into films, i mean yes if our imagination could finally just be projected onto a screen some how it would kick ass but right now,not possible, sorry kinda went on a rant their, hopefully got my point across, all im saying is don't remake a series or an idea just for the sake of doing it or profiteering, make it over cause it has to be done, or make it just because it needs to be made,

Pike playing Moira makes more sense than Emma, who shouldn't be in the First Class movie, anyways(save her for sequels). Amber Heard as Mystique also sounds good.

Shes way hotter as a brunette. Good call Zany. I think both actresses would fit decently to quite well.

I agree.... Moira is better played by Pike, and young Mystique by Heard. I trust that they could find someone to play Frost. But either way, I believe this movie will rock than the last X-men franchise.

We forgive you @mmm-mmm, although it was "punny."
(that was also terrible, and I am sorry).
On a related note, brunette hair suits Heard. Matthew Vaughn is moving in the right direction.

Mystique was my favorite character in Xmen and X2, it'll be great to see her again, whether it's a new actress or not.
