Kelsey Grammer Returning as Beast in Avengers: Doomsday

by

As a die-hard Marvel fan, I can’t contain my excitement about the latest updates from Marvel Studios’ cast reveal event! This gathering has finally put to rest several long-standing speculations about which characters we’ll see in the upcoming movie. Among the returning franchise favorites, it’s been confirmed that the talented voice actor behind everyone’s favorite X-Men character, Beast, will once again grace our screens with their vocal prowess. That’s right, it’s none other than ! I can hardly wait to see them bring this beloved character to life once more!

In 2023’s “The Marvels”, Beast re-joined the series. At the end of the film, he was seen in a post-credits scene that unfolded in a universe different from our own. This alternate reality became part of Monica Rambeau’s predicament, having been drawn into it during the finale of “Captain Marvel” sequel. It seems this alternative universe will play a role in the upcoming Avengers movie as the franchise approaches the culmination of its Multiverse Storyline.

Kelsey Grammer’s Return Is Huge for the X-Men’s MCU Debut

Initially, Kelsey Grammer portrayed Hank McCoy (the Beast) in “X-Men: The Last Stand”, hidden beneath prosthetics and offering a remarkable performance as the furry, blue mutant. In contrast to his character from the initial “X-Men” series, when he reappeared in “The Marvels”, the role was no longer the same version but a CGI character that aligned more closely with Beast’s look from the animated “X-Men ’97” television series.

It’s likely that this is the iteration of Beast we’ll see in the film “Doomsday“. Regardless, it’s evident that voice actor, Grammer, will undoubtedly be thrilled to reprise the character. In 2023, following his franchise comeback, Grammer stated:

I’m eagerly looking forward to the possibility of meeting him once more. With a fair degree of assurance, I can tell you that such an encounter will take place. Playing his role again has long been on my wish list. To me, he is an extraordinary character, one of depth and significance in our society. I’m thrilled that Beast is returning, and I hope it’s a permanent return.

The specific appearance of the upcoming film titled “Avengers: Doomsday” remains unclear, but given that almost all active actors from Marvel are involved, it’s shaping up to be a monumental and highly ambitious production – one that isn’t just remarkable for Marvel Studios, but in the broader cinematic landscape. Will the Russo brothers surpass their previous feat with “Avengers: Endgame” and create an even more extraordinary film? It seems quite plausible they will.
