Nicholas Hoult explains why Beast looks human in X-Men: Days of Future Past

February 20, 2014 by admin

Minor X-Men: Days of Future Past spoilers to follow…

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the marketing for X-Men: Days of Future Past, chances are you’ll have a few questions about the upcoming X-Men sequel. Why is James McAvoy’s Professor X still walking around? How has Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) got his adamantium back? And what the hell was Bryan Singer smoking when he signed off on Quicksilver’s (Evan Peters) costume? Meanwhile, you’ve probably also noticed that Beast has been spotted in both his human and mutated form, and now we have an answer as to why, with Nicholas Hoult revealing the details during an interview with Joblo (via CBM)…

“What’s happened up to this point is between the time of the last movie and this movie my character has created a serum which basically controls his mutation so his appearance is normal as long as he doesn’t get worked up. Any animal instinct or urges, that kind of brings him out. So yeah, he changes into Beast a few times throughout the story and they’ve done some great action sequences with him this time, particularly in the mansion flying around on these chandeliers and stuff.”

So, what do you make of that, then? Are you a fan of Hulk-Beast, or is this deviating too far from Hank’s comic book character? Let us know your thoughts below, or head on over to The Flickering Myth Forum…

X-Men: Days of Future Past is set for release on May 23rd, with a cast that also includes Michael Fassbender (Magneto), Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Lucas Till (Havok), Halle Berry (Storm), Anna Paquin (Rogue), Ellen Page (Kitty Pryde) and Shawn Ashmore (Iceman) alongside franchise newcomers Evan Peters (American Horror Story) as Quicksilver, Booboo Stewart (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) as Warpath, Fan Binbing (Iron Man 3) as Blink, Adan Canto (The Following) as Sunspot, Josh Helman (Mad Max: Fury Road) as William Stryker, Evan Jonigkeit (Girls) as Toad, and Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) as Bolivar Trask.
