X-Men: 6 actors we want to see play Beast in the MCU
1. Winston Duke
I know that Winston Duke is already a part of the MCU. And we would never want him to lose the role of M’Baku. However, it just feels like he would be the perfect Beast in the X-Men.
Not only does he seem to have the physicality necessary to be a truly believable Beast, but we absolutely find his presence on screen hard to ignore. He has already been a scene stealer in the MCU, so why not take that and expand on it? We have seen other actors take on a second role in the MCU, so why can’t he?
There are a lot of reasons why Duke would be an amazing member of the X-Men. And one of the big reasons is that he can be suave, while also giving off a vibe that says do not mess with me. We can easily see him being the smartest man in the room. And at the same time, we believe that he could’ve been a founding member of the X-Men.
We could see him being a team leader, and someone that other mutants look up to. And the fact that the actor has already shown the ability to be part of an amazing ensemble cast, without getting lost in the shuffle, means that he has what it takes to help bring new life to the Beast of the MCU.
While there are any number of actors who could get their start as a member of the X-Men, when it comes to those founding members of the team, we want someone who has already showcased that they could be a hero. We want to believe that this actor has what it takes to save the world, and we believe Winston Duke could save the world
