The Marvels Star ‘Had No Clue’ About Beast Cameo Until the MCU Movie’s Release
comingsoon.netThe Marvels star Teyonah Parris has revealed that she had no idea that would be in the movie until it was out.
While appearing on Entertainment Tonight, Parris explained that the cameo scene was filmed with a different actor in a lab coat and that she was given no indication that the Kelsey Grammer-voiced Beast would be added to the scene later. Instead, she ended up being just as surprised as audiences when the scene played.
“I also went wild [seeing Beast at the end of The Marvels], because I’m like, ‘Wait a minute — that’s not who I filmed with!’ And I had no clue until it aired,” she stated. “When we filmed it, it was an actor who was very kind, very nice, and he was dressed in a lab coat. He looked like a normal, regular doctor. No one said, ‘By the way, this is going to be a little surprise.’ I had zero clue. I found out with everyone else.”

The film starred Larson as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, and Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel. They were joined by MCU vet Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Zawe Ashton as Dar-Benn, and popular South Korean actor Park Seo-Joon, along with Tessa Thompson, Lashana Lynch, and Hailee Steinfeld.
“Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence,” reads the film’s synopsis. “But unintended consequences see Carol shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe. When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, her powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan, Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece Captain Monica Rambeau. Together, this unlikely trio must team-up and learn to work in concert to save the universe as The Marvels.”
