Kelsey Grammar as Beast probably aroused a lot of this reaction: "Kelsey Grammar as Beast?! WHAT?!.....wait. Oh....Ohhhhh. That's perfect."
This casting came out of nowhere, but now that I have the notion in my mind, I can't think of anyone else who could be any more perfect for this role. He seems a little bit old to be Hank McCoy, but he certainly has the voice and the personality. I'm just curious if they introduce him immediately as the huge, blue furball, or if they show him in his human form first. I'm sure a lot of liberties will be taken, but X2 did that as well and I didn't really mind all that much. One thing's for sure, the prosthetics and CGI for that one should be fun.
I'm also really curious as to what they're planning on doing as far as Gambit/Rogue now that they've started the romance between Iceman and Rogue.
I also am curious how Vinnie will play Juggernaut. I like Vinnie Jones a lot, and I think he'll do well as Juggernaut, but I imagined the role being played by a big, American jock type, and not the badass Englishman type role that Vinnie Jones is so well-known for doing.
No matter what, I'm really excited to see if they can improve on X2, which is by far one of my favorite comic book adaptations.
