Singer tweeted the new look for the blue-furred Beast (played by Nicolas Hoult), along with some pretty deep words from ‘Beauty And The Beast’ author Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont: "Many a monster wears the form of a man; it is better of the two to have the heart of a man & the form of a monster."

Can you spot Hoult behind the blue?

‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’, a sort-of-sequel to the prequel ‘X-Men: First Class’, co-stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence, as well as Sir Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman, Anna Paquin and Halle Berry from Singer’s original ‘X-Men’ trilogy.

‘Game Of Thrones’ star Peter Dinklage will play the film’s main antagonist.
