The script for Fox's unmade X-Men movie about Nicholas Hoult's Beast has apparently leaked online.
Titled X-Men: Fear the Beast, the John Ottman-penned script was shared to the r/MarvelStudioSpoilers subreddit. Though unconfirmed by Ottman, the plot appears to line up with a Complex article about the scrapped film.
The leaked screenplay focuses on Nicholas Hoult’s Hank McCoy/Beast, who finds himself struggling to control his own mutation and subsequently going on a solo mission to save an old friend – which Complex reports is the near exact plot for Ottman's screenplay. Major players in the unproduced film include Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, Professor Xavier, Wendigo, and Mr. Sinister – whose arrival was teased in X-Men: Apocalypse.
Though the film was ultimately shelved, Dark Phoenix and New Mutants were given the go-ahead – though both films were released to mixed reviews.
