So I guess they just ignore the bar scene in X-Men 2 where "Dr. Henry McCoy" is on the TV talking about mutants?
In some way, I can understand why they chose him. McCoy is an intellectual, a scholar, and a big budget movie like this is all about making safe choices for marketing purposes. Grammar is a well-regarded actor with two very successful TV series under his belt, and movie-goers will instantly identify him with the intellectual McCoy character. I want to know if they are even going to use the Beast look. For non-comic book readers, McCoy was always nicknamed the Beast because of his incredible reflexes, agility, etc. He later changed into a blue-furred monster in some kind of an industrial accident (someone help me out here, I don't remember the details). But they could ignore that entire part of the comic. After all, Jean and Cyclops are the only "original" X-Men that are part of the core team. Iceman is a kid, Beast is some guy on TV, and I don't recall seeing anything about Angel. Was there some minor reference in the first X-Men to him? I don't remember. I always liked the Archangel character more, anyway. Speaking of Archangel, I'd love to see Apocalypse as the next big villain. That would be cool. Either that or the alien super-warrior guy, what was his name? >Charlie Griefer wrote: >> Read on Newsarama that Kelsey Grammar has signed on to play Hank >> McCoy/Beast in X-Men 3. >> I'm a bit torn.
