I don’t think we’re going to be seeing a costume. I ‘d put my money that beast is going to be entirely CGI.

This guy is an old balding pudgy man that feel off the stage giving a speech at Disney world. Great idea to make him the 355 lb. acrobat/scientist.

Vic,

Oops, I got the director wrong… how did I miss that? As for Berry winning an Oscar, indeed she did, but not for X-Men. I thought her role in the first two was by far the weakest. Even Rebecca Romijn had a stronger role; how sad is that?

Kelsey Grammer would be perfect for the voice of beast, but they should use a different person in costume (like James Earl Jones voice over as Darth Vader). A professional wrestler would be good, or even a gymnast, for the physical acting. You’ve got to admit though, for Beast, Grammer has the perfect voice. He speaks like a top notch english professor, and has a low tone… could turn out awesome.
This is a great site, I’m glad I found it.

Remember Bryan Singer isn’t directing this one, Matthew Vaughn is. Also, don’t forget Berry *did* win an Oscar.
I really enjoy Grammer’s work, let’s see if it translates over into this role.

Kelsey Grammer hasn’t had much of a career outside of his Frasier Crane character, so if he succeeds in this one, that would be a big boost for him. At first glance, he seemed like an odd choice for Beast, but I’m sure Singer knows what he’s doing. On the other hand, Singer also cast Halle Berry as Storm, so his batting average isn’t exactly a thousand.
