Who is the X-Men character in The Marvels post-credits scene?
We encounter Beast after Monica Rambeau wakes up in a mysterious hospital room. She’s just singlehandedly fixed a hole in space-time and gotten stuck in a parallel universe in the process, so she’s a little worse for wear.
Luckily, she has a doctor looking after her: Dr. Hank McCoy. He tells her that he’s working on behalf of Charles Xavier, but we don’t get a glimpse of him – only of the X-Men logo on the door of the room.
