Longtime XMen editor shares his abandoned 'Beast' script
That was the question facing longtime X-Men editor and composer John Ottman as he was finishing 2016'sHis then-assistant, aspiring screenwriter Byron Burton, came to him with the idea, and Ottman was skeptical that Beast, the bookish, blue-furred X-Man played by Nicholas Hoult could carry his own movie.
"I said, 'Knock yourself out, but just know there's a 95 percent chance no one is ever going to make this,'" Ottman tellsAfter reading Burton's draft, Ottman was surprised to find himself believing amovie could actually work. He came aboard to develop the project, making tweaks to the script and envisioning it as a $90 million-budgeted spinoff that would also feature familiar characters such as Prof.
The script then cuts to Hank McCoy, who is living in the X-Mansion and is keeping his mutation in check with a special serum introduced in 2014's . During a Danger Room sequence, it becomes apparent Hank is having trouble controlling his beastly nature as he nearly loses control. Early in the first act, we also learn Hank has been helping a scientist who has a similar mutation.
"The idea was we would have Sinister as this multi-film villain orchestrating things," says Burton, who in addition to once working as Ottman's assistant, is a freelance contributor tofilm where the idea is Sinister is testing the X-Men."
