Benjamin Walker Joins X-Men: First Class?

 

First reported by The New York Times earlier this week that Benjamin Walker was offered a role in X-Men First Class.

Now Showbiz411 is saying he's in early talks to play Henry Philip "Hank" McCoy (aka Beast) in Matthew Vaughn's X-Men First Class.

I've never actually heard of Walker before, so I can't say I'm excited or disappointed by this. The last and only time for that matter that we saw Beast on the big screen was in Brett Ratner's 2006 pic X-Men: The Last Stand. The movie may not have been a huge success, but Kelsey Grammer did a good job of bringing Beast to life. lets just hope Walker can do the same.

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).
