Actor Kelsey Grammer, returning as Beast, has unexpectedly revealed several new details about his involvement in the MCU film Avengers: Doomsday. Moreover, his comments not only confirm long-rumored interactions but also increase excitement around the film’s massive ensemble cast.
Grammer noted that he enjoyed getting to,
“Interact with people I hadn’t interacted with before.”
Additionally, his comments imply that Beast will play a more significant multiversal role than previously assumed. Consequently, fans now believe his appearance could influence several major plot points.
Grammer Confirms Three Major Co-Stars
During his interview, Grammer specifically listed three MCU actors he worked with:
- Chris Hemsworth (Thor)
- Robert Downey Jr. (Doctor Doom) — mentioning he “sort of” shares a scene with him
- Pedro Pascal (Mister Fantastic) — saying he had a “great time” working with him
These confirmations, therefore, suggest that Beast will cross paths with characters from multiple Marvel corners. Furthermore, Grammer’s hint about sharing a moment with Doctor Doom has particularly excited fans, especially since Downey’s shift from Iron Man to a villain role marks a dramatic change in MCU storytelling.
Avengers: Doomsday Brings Back Major X-Men Legends
Meanwhile, the film will also reunite several iconic stars from Fox’s X-Men universe. This returning lineup adds even more emotional depth, especially for longtime fans who have waited years to see these characters interact with the main MCU.
Confirmed Returning X-Men Cast
The growing legacy cast includes:
- Patrick Stewart (Professor X)
- Ian McKellen (Magneto)
- Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler)
- Rebecca Romijn (Mystique)
- James Marsden (Cyclops)
- Channing Tatum (Gambit)
Furthermore, this marks the first time these X-Men will officially unite with the Avengers and Fantastic Four in live-action. As a result, Avengers: Doomsday is expected to create several historic crossover moments.
The Multiversal Stakes Are Higher Than Ever
Because the story explores multiple realities and timelines, the returning X-Men will join forces with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to battle Doctor Doom. Consequently, Marvel is aiming to craft one of its most ambitious and emotionally weighty storylines yet.
Moreover, many insiders believe this film will directly lead into Avengers: Secret Wars, meaning every cameo and character team-up may have long-term importance in the MCU narrative.
