NOTE: The following comprises spoilers for The Marvels mid-credits cameo. You’ve been warned!
I bear in mind again when Avengers: Endgame first got here out in the summertime 2019 how Marvel Studios advocated to followers to chorus from posting spoilers and ruining any surprises within the new MCU film. It’s a far distinction from at the moment when the studio has taken the intermediary out and fortunately reveals what ought to have been shock cameos within the promoting. Case in level, freely giving Patrick Stewart reprising his iconic position of Professor Charles Xavier in Doctor Strange within the Multiverse of Madness.
Today Andy Park, Director of Visual Development at Marvel Studios, took to social media to put up concept art for Hank McCoy a.ok.a Beast who makes a cameo within the The Marvels mid-credits scene.
BEAST concept design I did for THE MARVELS! This is likely one of the variations (that additionally exhibits his physique/clothes) I did as I gave them a variety of choices (as we do) all whereas attempting to channel the essence of his comedian ebook origins. I’ve carried out a variety of designs by my years right here at Marvel Studios… this one made the inside fanboy in me squeal only a bit.
Beast made his massive display screen debut within the a lot maligned X-Men: The Last Stand as portrayed by Frasier star Kelsey Grammer. Despite the movie’s lukewarm reception, the vast majority of followers might at the very least agree casting Grammer because the erudite blue mutant was a stroke of genius. Grammer returned to play Beast in X-Men: Days of Future Past, enduring hours of make-up for temporary cameo that was only some seconds lengthy. That’s dedication. In The Marvels, not solely does Grammer seem longer on display screen but it surely was portrayed in CG so he might be spared the make-up chair.
As Grammer instructed The Wrap, he’s fairly wanting to play the character once more:
“It is my hope that you’ll [see him again]. I can say with a specific amount of confidence that you’ll. I might like to.
“I’ve always wanted to play him again. I see him as an extraordinary character, a real character of gravitas and importance in our culture,” Grammer added. “I’m delighted Beast is back and hope he’s back in a real way.”
