Nicholas Hoult says that he has filmed some 'great action sequences' as Beast for X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Hoult is set to reprise the role of Hank McCoy in this latest X-Men film: First Class saw him transform into the Beast for the first time.

But the actor reveals that his character can now control his mutation.

Speaking to Collider, the actor said: "What’s happened up to this point is between the time of the last movie and this movie my character has created a serum which basically controls his mutation so his appearance is normal as long as he doesn’t get worked up. Any animal instinct or urges, that kind of brings him out.

"So yeah, he changes into Beast a few times throughout the story and they’ve done some great action sequences with him this time, particularly in the mansion flying around on these chandeliers and stuff, so there’s some good stuff."

Days of Future Past will see Hoult reunite with director Bryan Singer, after the pair worked together on Jack the Giant Slayer. However, this is their first X-Men film together.

X-Men: Days of Future Past kicks off a busy year for the actor, as we are going to be seeing him in Dark Places and Mad Max: Fury Road.

X-Men: Days of Future Past is released 22nd May.
