By My Stars and Garters...
The news is in, folks! Marvel Comics' CEO, Avi Arad, has announced some of the new cast members of the X-Men 3, and you'll never guess who's playing Beast...

Kelsey Grammer


I know. I'm excited, too. Anyone who's ever seen Beast (that blue guy I use as a profile picture) in an animated series or videogame knows that his voice is always interpreted as sounding like Frasier. And by my stars and garters, if they didn't get Frasier himself to play him in the movie! Now, just to add a touch of humor, here's a faux-mockup of what Kelsey might look like as Dr. Hank McCoy aka Beast. I found it at SuperheroHype.com's message board.



In other news (well, not really), Lost fans might be interested to know that Maggie Grace (yep, that bitch Shannon) is in talks to play Kitty Pryde aka Shadowcat. They most likely replaced the previous actress (the little girl who ran threw a few walls and fell through her bed in X2) because they might play-up Kitty's relationship with Colossus (the guy who turned into metal...) in the third movie, and using the last actress would just scream pedophilia.

And for those of you about to say Maggie is too old to play a teenager, keep in mind she's going to be the youngest person in the cast. Yes, even younger than Anna Paquin. And let's be real. Shawn Ashmore has gotta be 27. He's been playing 15 year olds for the past 10 years.
