APOCALYPSE fulfills ‘First Class’ contract obligations.

“This is the last one I’m signed up for,” said X-MEN: APOCALYPSE actor Nicholas Hoult when asked by E! Online about his contractual obligations to the mutant film franchise. The same goes for stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence, who all signed three-picture deals, beginning with 2011’s X-MEN: FIRST CLASS.

Asked if he’d be interested in continuing his role as Hank McCoy aka Beast, Hoult said: “The first one did so well and [Days of Future Past] got received so brilliantly. It’s like, ‘Wow, people really want to see the films’ and the best thing is it’s a great crew and cast to work with and he’s a fun character. I have a good time playing him so I’d keep making them.”
