Ben Hardy has joined the cast of X-Men: Apocalypse.
The EastEnders actor - whose bowed out of the BBC One soap as Peter Beale during Tuesday night’s episode - will play a key role in the upcoming superhero movie, reports The Wrap .

Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner was also unveiled as playing Jean Grey in the film, a role originally played by Hemlock Grove actress Famke Janssen.
Alexandra Shipp, best known for playing Aaliyah in the Lifetime biopic Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B, will portray Orora Monroe otherwise known as weather goddess mutant Storm.
It was also recently confirmed that Sir Patrick Stewart would not reprise his role as Professor Charles Xavier in this film.

He explained: “Yes, I understand that it seems to be very unlikely that I will be in the next X-Men movie, which is almost getting ready to start shooting in Montreal."
Despite the lack of Professor X in the new film, Stewart did reveal that Sir Ian McKellen will reprise his role as Magneto in the production.
Stewart told Oregon Live: "Magneto, Ian McKellen, is certainly going to be in it.
"And what I'm very excited about is that we have been talking about a Wolverine movie, which would team Hugh Jackman and myself together.
"Wolverine and Professor Xavier. That would be a very different sort of X-Men from the four movies that I've already done.”
Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender will all return for the film, which is being directed by Bryan Singer

• X-Men: Apocalype is released worldwide on May 27 2016

Eastenders’ Who Killed Lucy Beale trailer is brilliant but it will also give you nightmares

Eastenders has unveiled a terrifying trailer to kick off the hunt for Lucy Beale’s killer.
Every single Albert Square resident looked like a sinister killer in the brief clip, which also highlighted a few prime suspects.

Denise, Ian, Lauren, Max, Jane and Peter all pop up seeming to get rid of evidence which could connect them to Lucy’s death.
What is really creepy though is the slow, unexpected way each character’s eyes swivel to look directly into the camera as though you’ve caught them in the act. Spooky.

Other characters, including Mick, Sharon, and even Dot, are then seen standing outside the Queen Vic, serving as a reminder that Lucy’s murderer really could be anyone.
The storyline is set to play out until February next year as Ian Beale uncovers more and more secrets about his daughter.
