Kelsey Grammer is not secretive about his excitement for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, and recently opened up about the “pretty cool” experience he had while on the massive set.
What did Kelsey Grammer say about Avengers: Doomsday?
Speaking to ComingSoon, Grammer — who reprises his role as the X-Men Hank McCoy/Beast in the movie — was asked about the “weight” of being in a movie as star-studded as Doomsday. Grammer admitted the project was massive, and then recalled a moment where he and a bunch of other stars of the film were standing around.
“Yeah. When we shot one of the scenes where there was a whole bunch of us standing around, I thought to myself, ‘Listen, it’s pretty cool [laughs],’” said Grammer. He went on to note that, in movies like Doomsday, it’s best to just lean into the fame of it all.
“There’s an old saying, like if you’re doing a Shakespeare play, there are some lines in Shakespeare that are so famous, you kind of wonder how to go about them. The only way to really approach a famous line is to say it like it’s a famous line. That is to give it its weight. When you’re in that situation and that many famous people are together, you gotta play it like it’s famous. I think they’ve done that.”
So far, several major stars from the MCU have been confirmed to be in the movie, including Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby’s Invisible Woman/Sue Storm, Anthony Mackie’s Captain America, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Letitia Wright’s Shuri/Black Panther, and Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man.
