EastEnders star Ben Hardy recently relocated to Hollywood to star in the new X: Men movie and now, fans can see a sneak peek of his character Angel.

Albert Square might be missing Peter Beale but Ben definitely looks the part in the winged mutant’s costume, which comes complete with metal blades.

Director Ben Singer shared the news on Instagram last night and also revealed that Angel is a villain.

“Ben Hardy is Angel – I shall confirm it for you!” the director told Empire magazine.

“But he’s not a very nice Angel! And that’s all I’ll say…” continued Singer.

Nicholas Hoult, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence and Michael Fassbender, will return to their roles as Beast, Professor X, Mystique and Magneto.

The film is set for release later this year and it’s definitely one to watch out for.
