X-men: First Class seeking Femme Fatale

X-Men: First Class might be looking to spice things up a little bit. The Mirror is reporting that Sarah Harding, member of the English pop group Girls Aloud, is in consideration for a role in X-Men: First Class. She would be playing an as yet unnamed "femme fatale baddie". Sounds like Mystique, but we know Jennifer Lawrence(Winter's Bone) has that role locked down.

The singer/actress impressed the studio with her attitude, and she's already auditioned twice.

I personally have no clue who she is. Just judging by the look of the group and the brief audio clip I downloaded they remind me of an updated Spice Girls. Perhaps that's the point.  The only question I have now is who is she going to play? Like mentioned above, her character is described as a "femme fatal baddie". Could that mean that literally? Is the character she's playing Fatale, the mutant assassin? Only time will tell.
