Need further proof that it you want to appear in X-Men: First Class you better be a Movieline Verge alum? According to reports, Nicholas Hoult has been cast to play Beast in the Matthew Vaughn directed X-Men prequel scheduled to hit theaters next summer. Hoult — who has most recently appeared in A Single Man and Clash of the Titans — would join fellow Verge grads Alice Eve , new father Aaron Johnson and Michael Fassbender in the cast. James McAvoy is there, too, but he technically wasn’t a Verge-r , so whatever. Luke Evans , you’re on the clock. [ Deadline ]
