Wow! How cool is this casting choice, and quite frankly I totally agree. It seems like it’s out of nowhere, but once you start thinking about it (and not the obvious Frasier references) Kelsey Grammer is perfect for the role of Beast in X-Men 3.
Comic Book Movie has the news from Variety:
While Grammer might seem a surprise to play a 355-pound blue-colored brute, producer Avi Arad said, “Kelsey was born to play the role,” explaining that Beast is the most intelligent of the mutants, a pacifist Ph.D. and genetic researcher named Hank McCoy.
“This is a big role in the new movie, and when we met with him, you can see that Kelsey has that you’d-better-have-a-dictionary-handy intelligence,” said Arad
What do you think? Do you agree? Some of the choices so far have seemed a little off, but is this finally a good move? Think of his poise, his facial looks and the voice.
