After multiple conflicting reports about the cast of Avengers: Doomsday, the Marvel Cinematic Universe may be attempting a new anti-spoiler strategy.

Grammer, who portrayed Beast in the X-Men franchise films The Last Stand and Days of Future Past, made his MCU debut as the superhuman scientist in the Captain Marvel sequel, The Marvels. The X-Men co-founder and student of Charles Xavier/Professor X appears in a post-credits scene during The Marvels, waking up Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) in a mysterious hospital room after she fixed a hole in space-time and became stuck in a parallel universe. Beast's inclusion in the sequel jumpstarted the X-Men's gradual MCU integration, with Deadpool & Wolverine featuring several X-Men franchise faces such as Sabretooth (Tyler Mane) and Pyro (Aaron Stanford).
