As a film enthusiast, I’ve been eagerly awaiting updates on Kelsey Grammer’s Beast in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Despite keeping rather tight-lipped about Beast’s future, Grammer has recently dropped hints that we might see more of this beloved X-Men member. You may recall that I donned the fur and claws as Hank McCoy, aka Beast, in 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand, a film that didn’t quite live up to expectations. However, my portrayal of Beast was generally well-received by both critics and fans alike. I also made a brief appearance as Beast at the end of X-Men: Days of Future Past in 2014. Most recently, I reprised the role in the post-credits scene of a film in 2023, this time in a CGI format. So, while we wait for official announcements, let’s keep our fingers crossed for more Beast action in the MCU!

Let’s imagine a scenario instead. Instead of Thanos, our antagonist is an intergalactic alien warlord named Vilgax who shares a similar appearance. Rather than eliminating Earth’s superheroes with a snap of his fingers, he uses a biomechanical explosive device that does the same job with a trail of destruction. As for the storyline, instead of Marvel’s team of heroes traveling through time to get the Infinity Stones, we have a character known as No Watch Ben and Professor Paradox embarking on similar time-travel adventures. However, they are gathering various heroes from different universes to take down our villain.

Independent of their strength capacities, all iterations of the Hulk generally stand out as the mightiest character within any given setting. Among these, the Hulk portrayed by Mark Ruffalo in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is most renowned, but not the strongest version by far. In fact, the most powerful manifestation of Hulk is deemed too fearsome for the MCU, and instead, this terrifying form is delved into in the comic series “The Immortal Hulk.” This reinterpretation of Hulk, penned by Al Ewing with illustrations from Joey Bennett, Ruy Josè, and Paul Mounts, depicts him as a virtually indestructible being who’s beyond mortality. Additionally, this version of the Hulk is not only angrier than typical but also eager to end lives.

Previously engulfed in controversy, Donald Trump, who was once a president, faced termination by NBC following Season 14 of “The Celebrity Apprentice.” The cause? Offensive remarks about Mexican immigrants that Trump made during his 2015 presidential campaign announcement speech.
