Is Ben going to shave his head? What do you mean that isn't an important question?
In the pictures, when Ben’s character spreads his wings, daggers are revealed, where feathers should be.

Ben, as we're used to seeing him
Ben will star alongside a number of A-listers in the upcoming movie, including Jennifer Lawrence and Hugh Jackman, who have both hinted that ‘Apocalypse’ will be their last outing in the ‘X-Men’ franchise.
Ben’s not the only ‘EastEnders’ actor to swap Walford for West Hollywood, and his former co-star Sam Strike is also believed to have scored a huge film role.
