Hank McCoy aka Beast actor Nicholas Hoult<\/strong> recently answered questions from you, the ‘X-Perts’ on the official X-MEN: FIRST CLASS Facebook<\/a>. Along with the interview 20th Century Fox released a new photo featuring Hoult as McCoy and Jennifer Lawrence<\/strong> as Raven Darkholme.<\/p>\n

Question:<\/strong> What drew you to the role of Hank McCoy\/ Beast?<\/p>\n

“The fascinating part of the role for me was the chance to play Hank\/Beast before and after his transformation. The combination of his intelligence and wit offset by his animalistic appearance was fun to play.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Question:<\/strong> What type of preparation did you do for the role of Beast?<\/p>\n

“In preparation for the role I watched lots of Frasier and listened to people who spoke with a similar accent to Kelsey, my dialect coach and I worked on creating something towards Kelsey’s dialect but without being an imitation. I also did lots of fitness training as being in the Beast costume and make up could be very tiring and tough physically.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Question:<\/strong> Will we get to see Beast in more of his iconic lab settings and sporting some Shakespearean quotes?<\/p>\n

“Yes, you get to see Hank in his element in the lab. Some of the genius inventions he creates are shown, and also some of the not so successful ones.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Question:<\/strong> Did they do any CGI on your hands and feet prior to Beast going blue to make him seem more ape-like as in the comics and shows?<\/p>\n

“Before the transformation Hank’s feet are a CGI effect so I would wear a blue sock and then the larger ape like feet would be added in post production. I did wear shoes a few sizes larger so that in theory they would have fitted in.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
