Recent reports by industry insider Daniel Richtman suggest that a major character is going to return to the MCU. If the hints are observed closely and the rumors are believed, this character can be Hank McCoy aka Beast. The character was portrayed by Kelsey Grammer in 2 movies and Nicholas Hoult in 5 movies in 20th Century Fox’s X-Men movies.
If the rumors are to be believed, then we might spot Kelsey Grammer’s mutant once again, but this time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
It can’t be denied that the MCU is always subjected to rumors of special appearances and cameos of numerous characters. However, the rumors about Beast’s cameo aren’t all positive and have generated a mixed reception among the fans.
Is Kelsey Grammar going to return as Beast?
Even though the MCU was going through a rough patch in the recent past, it has successfully maintained the hype of the audience with the promise of an exciting future. From the cameo rumors in the forthcoming Deadpool 3 and the possible events of Avengers: Secret Wars, the MCU still excites the fans. Amidst this, new rumors hint at Beast’s return in the upcoming MCU projects.
Despite not confirming anything, Daniel Richtman presented some hints that show that Kelsey Grammar can return as the mutant once again.
Someone who was the perfect casting for a certain role and never got his chance to do justice with it cuz they wasted him on a shitty movie is coming back. That’s all I’m gonna say

Kelsey Grammer also took to an interview last year to express his desire to return as Hank McCoy, soon after it was reported that Hugh Jackman would return as Wolverine in Deadpool 3. Moreover, with the introduction of mutants in Deadpool 3, Kamala Khan discovering his mutant origin in Ms. Marvel, and many other details, the MCU is officially throwing hints regarding X-Men’s appearance.
But looks like the fans are mixed about watching Kelsey Grammer once again after his last cameo appearance in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Not everyone’s excited about Kelsey Grammer’s return
Although the rumors have raised a buzz on the internet, it can’t be said that the fans are very excited about Kelsey Grammer’s return. The age of Grammer plays a big role here as he is presently 68 years old. We have collected several tweets to show how there is a mixed reception on the internet regarding the rumors of Beast’s return.
I would think he’s too old to be the MCUs Beast

On the other hand, we might also see him return in an X-Men reboot, Deadpool 3, or Secret Wars. But the rumors related to The Marvels are also strong and the return of Beast or any other prominent character can’t be kept off the tables.
The Marvels will be released in theaters on November 10, 2023.
