While attending press junkets for his role in the new “Transformers” film, Beast<\/strong> actor, Kelsey Grammer<\/strong>, was asked about his cameo in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST<\/a> and how his eagerness to play the role once again came into play. Plus, what does the future hold?<\/p>\n

“I would love to do another X-Men,” he tells IGN<\/a>. “I loved playing Beast! I call him the blue guy and it was just a joy for me to be involved in that franchise and so when I heard they were making another one…It was Hugh (Jackman) that I was talking to and he said, ‘You’re going to be in the next one aren’t ya, mate!?!’ (Australian accent included). I said I didn’t even know about it. So I called Bryan and said, ‘Look I understand that you’re in a different timeline now and it’s the younger Beast, but there’s that little coda at the end. So I volunteered my services for it, because I really like being a part of that franchise.”<\/p>\n

On negative reaction to X-MEN: THE LAST STAND<\/a>: “I thought [director] Brett [Ratner] did a good job with the third one, but I guess that got sort of wrapped-up in political nonsense between studios. I never cared about that stuff. I think it’s Bryan’s baby, so I was happy to see him return to it.”<\/p>\n
