Avengers: Doomsday<\/a> is only a year away from its big release, as the Marvel Cinematic Universe<\/a> gets ready for Victor von Doom’s war against the iconic heroes. As Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom<\/a> is the true threat of The Multiverse Saga, superheroes across realities will be coming together, including Fox’s X-Men.<\/p>\n

ScreenRant’s Ash Crossan recently interviewed Kelsey Grammer for his new film, Turbulence, where he also spoke about coming back as Beast for 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday. When asked about reuniting with his X-Men co-stars, he explained, “I haven\u2019t really been able to keep up [laughs]” when it comes to the larger growth of the MCU franchise. While saying that “some of it I\u2019m aware of;” there are “others I\u2019m like, \u201cWell, I don\u2019t know.\u201d But it was a presumptive joy to join in, to be part of it again.”<\/p>\n

Grammer, who debuted in X-Men: The Last Stand back in 2006, continued by sharing how “there are people with a lot of different characters now \u2013 more than when I was first part of the X-Men thing.” As Sir Patrick Stewart is back to play Professor X, “[he] and I are old pals. Patrick got \u2013 I think he got an Emmy for a role he did on Frasier. We\u2019re good friends.”<\/p>\n

To Grammer, “It\u2019s like a \u201chail-fellow-well-met.\u201d I didn\u2019t work with a lot of the other guys because so much of it is like, \u201cOh, somebody flies in from this place for a week, somebody flies in from that place,\u201d and then somehow we end up on screen together.” Nevertheless, he praises Marvel as “an extraordinary franchise, and I was really, really happy to be invited back.”<\/p>\n

He was asked if he knew the scope of what Marvel Studios had in mind for upcoming MCU movies<\/a> after being in The Marvels, Grammer stressed that “I had no idea. I think it was just sort of a nod to the fact that they were going back to a place that they all recognized as beloved.”<\/p>\n

He was thrilled about how his cameo was received, saying, “The response to Beast\u2019s little appearance in that movie was pretty substantial, and I was very flattered by that.” Grammer elaborated that “it just speaks to the character. He\u2019s a wonderful character. He\u2019s such a good man. It\u2019s always nice to play something you believe in yourself.”<\/p>\n

For Grammer, he sees Beast as a “man of great character, and I\u2019ve always thought of him as the Martin Luther King of the mutant community \u2013 just a man of character and stature who will stand up for what he believes in, and he\u2019ll pay the ultimate price if he has to.”<\/p>\n

The veteran actor continued by saying, “That\u2019s what I love about him. He gets in a fight, he\u2019s slow to get embroiled, but once he is, he\u2019s in hook, line, and sinker, and he gives no quarter and expects none, and this is the kind of person I want to be in my life.” The Frasier lead appreciates those elements, commenting, “So when you get to play it, it\u2019s great.”<\/p>\n

When asked about what he looks for in new roles versus ones he reprises, Grammer said, “Right? Yeah. I usually look for something I haven\u2019t done before, but if it\u2019s something \u2013 for instance, like Beast \u2013 getting to do that again is [an] inexplicable joy. It\u2019s a presumed gift, and that I\u2019m really, really excited about.”<\/p>\n

The X-Men veteran added, “Other roles are just\u2026 I mean, there are a few pieces in my sense of criteria on this. It\u2019s like, I need to make a living, I still do need to do that. So sometimes just getting a job offer is a nice thing because I\u2019m a little short of cash. That\u2019s how the world works.”<\/p>\n

But mostly it\u2019s: have I done that before? Have I done something similar? Well, maybe, but as long as there\u2019s some other thing that pulls them into a different situation, I like it. This one, I was compelled to get involved because I like the nature of diminished play area. By definition it\u2019s more stressful, it\u2019s more likely to be a pressure cooker. And so stuck in that basket with four people\u2014two completely crazy, two who are kind of sane\u2014that\u2019s pretty great.<\/p>\n

The Avengers: Doomsday cast<\/a> wrapped filming back in September, although it remains to be seen how many from the 2026 installment will be back for Avengers: Secret Wars. Principal photography on the Phase 6 finale will begin next summer.<\/p>\n

The first trailer is reportedly arriving this month, which will give a better idea of the Avengers: Doomsday story,<\/a> including how the X-Men fit into the arc.<\/p>\n

Turbulence opens in theaters this Friday, December 12.<\/p>\n
