Nicholas Hoult is returning as Hank McCoy in X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
Things are going to be different for the bouncing blue Beast this time around.
Hoult?s contract with 20th Century Fox was up after X-Men: Apocalypse.
But he was lured back for more by the promise of an interesting new direction for the character.
?It's very different for Beast this time around, and that was part of the appeal for doing the movie for me. Simon Kinberg, who wrote and is directing this time, and he has great ideas for where he wanted the character to go, so it was exciting.?
