Amber Heard (Zombieland, Drive Angry 3D) is reportedly in talks to play the young Raven Darkholme/Mystique in the upcoming Matthew Vaughn directed, X-Men: First Class for 20th Century Fox. Heard would join James McAvoy (Wanted) who has already been cast as Professor Charles Xavier.

We previously brought you a rumor that Rosamund Pike (Surrogates) was up for the role of Emma Frost in the film, according to CBM she is actually in the running to play Charles Xavier’s assistant Moira MacTaggert. In addition, Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds, Jonah Hex) who was being courted for the role of Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto has reportedly declined the offer to screen test for the role.
