The Beast/Henry McCoy Thread

[Iceman]

I like seeing different versions of beast but the ape form is my favourite. Would still like to see the cat form done too at some point.

 

[Iceman]

I think Rahul Kohli (iZombie, Midnight Mass) might be a decent option. He's a big guy who can play both smart and funny.

People were mocking him up as Reed Richards not so long ago, but yeah I could see him as Beast. Has all the required characteristics, good pick.

Yeah, the lion form was far and away my favorite. It's a shame he didn't stay that way for long.

If both forms are popular they should do both! Link the changes to dramatic character development events too.

Works for me!

I can't wait to see how will they showcase the other X-Men in the future!

 

[Lily Adler]

Who wore it better...

I actually believe the speculation that Kelsey will keep voicing Beast.

 

[psylockolussus]

I hope he shows up in Secret Wars but for X-Men '27, I prefer someone else.

 

[BMM]

If Marvel reboots the X-Men after Secret Wars, I think they’ll recast Beast, especially if he is introduced pre-transformation.

If Beast remains a CGI character then I see no reason why Kelsey Grammar shouldn't keep voicing him.

If Marvel reboots the X-Men after Secret Wars, I think they’ll recast Beast, especially if he is introduced pre-transformation.

They might do a flashback of pre-transformation Beast but I think they'll probably just keep him as blue and hairy Beast.

 

[psylockolussus]

Even if he's a CGI character full time, I still prefer someone else. Like once The Multiverse Saga is over with the variants/alternate realities. I don't want any of the Fox-era actors in the MCU films anymore.

Yeah give me Jesse Plemons

 

[ALittlePush]

They might Darth Vader Beast, have someone else play the physical role whilst having Kelsey Grammer do the voice.

 

[psylockolussus]

I just don't see why keep Kelsey Grammar this long, if they would recast everyone. Kelsey only appeared in 1 Marvel movie as Beast in a supporting role since 2006. His next two film appearances as Beast is more or less 1 minute combined.

The original X-Men trilogy and Days of Future Past hold a special place in my heart, but there should be an entirely new set of cast members when they finally reboot the X-Men.

 

[WatchProtect]

Yeah I wouldn't freak out if they kept Grammar but I can't say they're aren't choices that would work easily as well if not better

How about Joel Edgerton or Jason Clarke

Joel Edgerton is someone I've liked for it, for awhile

Another actor I literally just thought of or 2 of them that I just thought of for Hank McCoy: Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Colin Hanks

Colin Hanks could be a good choice

 

[BobJM]

I’m between two picks at the moment for Hank McCoy…

Connor Swindells, 27– dependent on his ability to do an American accent.

Or Owen Teague, 25:

I don't know if an American accent is even all that necessary for this particular role. I can't even remember where in the US Hank is supposed to be from. Him being one of Xavier's international recruits wouldn't be a big change for the character.

 

[psylockolussus]

He is from Dundee, Illinois.

 

[MilkmanDan]

Interesting. I really like Hank and I didn't know that. It's not like, say, Gambit's connection to New Orleans or Jubilee's to LA. Beast's background doesn't seem to be a particularly important part of the character.

 

[WatchProtect]

You know I've always preferred cat-face Beast even if it doesn't really make sense, but I wonder if that would be too drastic of a change, would probably also mean they'd have to use CG on him, but I'm sure they will anyway
