Kelsey Grammer reportedly wants to make another 'X-Men' movie.

The actor - who plays blue-haired mutant Beast in 'X-Men: The Last Stand' - loved playing the character in the film so much he is desperate to reprise the role.

Despite 'The Last Stand' being considered the final film in a trilogy, Grammer expects Hollywood bosses to order a fourth movie after it smashed box office records.

The movie took over $120 million in the US alone when it opened over the Memorial Day weekend, making it the fourth biggest opening in American box office history.

Grammer has also revealed 'The Last Stand' director Brett Ratner - who replaced Brian Singer after he quit the franchise to shoot 'Superman Returns' - was still filming scenes for the blockbuster just three weeks before it was due to be released.

'X-Men: The Last Stand' - which sees a mutant community fight for survival after a drug company develops a "cure" that will enable them to be "normal" - opened around the world last Friday (26.05.06).
