GamesRadar+ reports that an actor rumoured to be playing Beast in Marvel Studios’ forthcoming X-Men film has responded ambiguously to online casting speculation. The response has prompted further fan discussion but does not amount to confirmation, meaning Beast’s casting remains unannounced.

The article places the exchange in the context of Marvel’s planned X-Men reboot and the character’s previous live-action appearances. Marvel has not publicly confirmed the actor, the film’s cast, or a release date, so the speculation should be treated cautiously.
