X-Men 3 - Kelsey Grammer as the Beast?

The third installment in the X-Men saga, to be called creatively enough X-3, will be opening this May. Three of the new mutants to be showcased in this movie are Angel, Shadowcat and the Beast. In what I think is some curious casting - Kelsey Grammer has been tabbed to play Hank McCoy, Ph.D. aka the Beast. Sure Grammer can play the high brow Beast's intellectual side but the beast is supposed to be a huge, muscular being and that's not close to describing Grammer.




It will also be interesting to see how this movie stacks up against the first two which were directed by Bryan Singer (who also created The Usual Suspects). Singer left this project to work on the new Superman Returns flick.
