"Frasier" star Kelsey Grammer, is said to have shot a cameo as the older Beast in the new film, reprising the role he played in 2006's "X-Men: The Last Stand".
An anonymous insider tells Showbiz Spy:
"Producers had the brilliant idea to bring back Kelsey for Days of Future Past. It wasn't hard to get him to sign on for a guest appearance. He jumped at the opportunity the second it was brought to his attention. Kelsey's special cameo was secretly shot during post-production on the Fox lot under the impression that Kelsey would be on set to film a pilot for a different project"
The source also states that the appearance will occur towards the end of the film.
The story has yet to be confirmed, though Singer is usually quite quick to jump on rumours (he hasn't on this one yet).
Singer recently denied the noise about Berry's Storm being X-ed out of "Days"
The latest sequel is based on a -2 issue story arc in the 'X-Men' comics published in 1981. Kinberg (Sherlock Holmes) is on board to pen the screenplay which will include New Mutants. Magneto and his relationship with Charles X. Xavier will be front and center as well.
