Beast Actor Nicholas Hoult Is Pretty Sure He'll Be Part Of The X-MEN: SUPERNOVA Cast
The contracts of many actors expired after X-Men: Apocalypse, but it appears as if we can expect at least one "original" cast member from the prequels to return for the next film in the franchise!
Whether or not the likes of James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, and Jennifer Lawrence will return for X-Men: Supernova (that's the rumoured title, anyway) remains to be seen, but during a recent chat with HeyUGuys, Nicholas Hoult seemingly confirmed that Beast will be back. Given the role he's played in the prequels so far, that obviously makes a whole lot of sense.
"I think I’m involved," the British actor teased. "I’d be happy to go back – I love playing that character and I love everyone involved and I know there’s one in the works." That's rumoured to be directed by Simon Kinberg and the signs are pointing to production beginning this year for a 2018 release. With any luck, Beast will remain blue for most of the movie next time.
Be sure to give the video below a watch as Felicity Jones also reflects on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and jokingly teases the possibility that Jyn Erso could return somewhere down the line, joking: "[Who] knows, maybe Jyn could be reincarnated. You could do anything – maybe she could come back as a hologram!" Be sure to let us know your thoughts on this below.
