Yup, that's right!
Instead of the weekly grind of filming a soap, muscular Ben is going to Hollywood for a life of glamour and red carpet moments.
Variety broke the news of his addition to the X-Men: Apocalypse cast earlier today.
And whilst his exact part in the new film is unknown, it's described as "significant to the X-Men universe" and a "key role".
The film is expected to focus on the romance between Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender), as the X-Men face off against a classic enemy - the mutant Apocalypse.

We're so glad that, despite Ben quitting the soap, show bosses gave him a happy ever after.
Last night viewers watched happily as he left Walford to go and live in New Zealand... with pregnant girlfriend Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) in tow.
But, with Jacqueline keen to return after her maternity leave is up, we wonder if it really will be a happy ever after for the childhood sweethearts.
After all, it doesn't seem as if Ben will be coming back now that he's set to make it big in the world of movies...
