One of the characters from The Avengers could change actors for upcoming movies

Marvel fans are preparing to hear the news that a beloved character will be recast in an upcoming Avengers movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This recasting practice is not new for franchise followers, who have seen actors like Edward Norton replaced by Mark Ruffalo in the role of Hulk, or how Don Cheadle took over from Terrence Howard as James Rhodes, also known as War Machine.

A new character in the MCU, although not in Marvel

According to information from CBM.com, Jesse Plemons, known for his roles in Civil War and The Irishman, is being considered to portray Henry Philip McCoy, better known as Beast. This role has previously been played by Kelsey Grammer and Nicholas Hoult in earlier adaptations. The inclusion of X-Men characters in the MCU has been anticipated since Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox in 2019, and with this turn, fans are eager to see the iconic mutant figures come to life on the big screen. The first appearances of these characters were seen in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and they are expected to continue with the animated series X-Men ‘97, as well as Deadpool and Wolverine in 2024.

It has been mentioned that Plemons could debut as Beast in Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled to be released in May 2026, or in Avengers: Secret Wars, which will hit theaters in May 2027. Although this information has not yet been confirmed, rumors about his participation are generating considerable anticipation among fans, hopes that will hopefully be clarified in the coming months.

Before the epic battles of the Avengers, Thunderbolts* is expected to premiere in theaters on May 2, 2025, marking the conclusion of Phase 5 of the MCU and paving the way for new developments in Phase 6 with the anticipated Fantastic Four: First Steps.
