Nicholas Hoult to Play Beast in X-Men: First Class
Need further proof that it you want to appear in X-Men: First Class you better be a Movieline Verge alum? According to reports, Nicholas Hoult has been cast to play Beast in the Matthew Vaughn directed X-Men prequel scheduled to hit theaters next summer. Hoult -- who has most recently appeared in A Single Man and Clash of the Titans -- would join fellow Verge grads Alice Eve, new father Aaron Johnson and Michael Fassbender in the cast. James McAvoy is there, too, but he technically wasn't a Verge-r, so whatever. Luke Evans, you're on the clock. [Deadline]

I guess there is a new rule that Americans can no longer play superheroes. Next up: Brits can no longer play Dr. Who. Wait...maybe there is truth to that Johnny Depp rumor after all.
That little slip of a thing is going to play a blue hairy monster? CGI's got its work cut out for it!
Are you sure this is for X-Men, First Class and not X-Men, Bel Ami? These boys are fay.
First Class is gonna bomb and flop face forward. It' FOX after all. I mean Kevon Bacon is the villain. uugh. Career's in the crapper, eh Kev?
