Celebrity Update Benjamin Walker is has joined the First Class cast as Dr. Hank McCoy, better known as the blue, furry Beast. He would be joining James McAvoy, who will play Charles Xavier, and possibly Michael Fassbender, who is in negotiations for the role of Erik Lensherr (AKA Magneto).

Those unfamiliar with the comics may not know that despite being big and blue in The Last Stand, Beast (aka Dr. Hank McCoy) originally looked human and his mutant ability has always been strength and agility coupled with a scientific genius. It wasn’t until an unfortunate medical experiment that his physical appearance was permanently transformed.
