From Cinescape.com. Dated May 18th.
20th Century Fox and Marvel Entertainment have signed FRASIER's Kelsey Grammer to play Beast, the oversized blue-furred creature, in X3.
SNATCH's Vinnie Jones has been hired to play "bad-guy" Juggernaut. Jones' character is a 6-foot-10, 900-pound metal-clad battering ram, who is the half-brother of Professor X and will anchor Magneto's villainous band.
Fox has also begun talks with LOST's Maggie Grace to play the role of Kitty Pryde, a beauty who can walk through walls.

Sure, we knew about Juggernaut already. But Kelsey Grammer as Beast is news. He is at first a seemingly odd choice, but after pondering it a few moments, it is indeed instantly perfect...at least in my opinion. He has proven for the past many years that he can play an intelligent and often times very funny character. Both integral for Beast. He has the right face for the character, and the rest can be easily accomplished with CGI. I don't know about you guys, but I like it. I like it alot.
