X-Men: First Class - More Casting News!

Okay, so in my excitement to write about the Michael Fassbender as Magneto rumor I totally forgot that I heard something else about the casting of the movie.

Benjamin Walker (Flags of our Fathers) has been tabbed as the furry genius Dr. Hank McCoy/ Beast.

This news excites me much the same way as the Fassbender rumor does, it means we're one step closer to filming the movie. And in turn we are one step closer to photos, info, stories and then trailers.

Walker even looks like he could be a furry beast if you look at his picture long enough. Give it a try.

X-Men: First Class is set to hit theaters June 3, 2011.
