The Spot News: X-Men: First Class gets a Beast & a Banshee with Nicholas Hoult and Caleb Landry Jones



X-Men: First Class gets a Beast & a Banshee with Nicholas Hoult and Caleb Landry Jones

By Jose

You might remember Hoult most from his role in 2002's ABOUT A BOY with Hugh Grant. Since then Hoult seems to be proving himself to be a great adult actor. But is he a good pick for the young Hank McCoy? Why the hell not? The cast for X-Men First Class is shaping up to be something worth seeing the movie over. The guy's just got to have a little charisma, intelligence, and a caring nature. Hoult is definitely going to have to bulk up a bit. I am going to say something that might get people a bit angry, but does he have to be bulky and gorilla-like just like in the comics? No I don’t think so. I never really understood the huge and large body on Beast. To me Beast should have been a big muscled dude, like a rugby player, that had extreme gymnastic skills and agility, and intelligence. So I hope they don’t put him in a “suit” with huge hands and feet.

Also Caleb Landry Jones has also joined First Class as Banshee. At least they cast a proper red head. Hollywood loves to hire people and then dye them to the character (Mary Jane/Felicia Hardy) hairstyle. But the kid looks the part. He is unknown to me cause I never watched anything he was in but so far he looks the part.
