Actor from Nightcrawler shares that reprising his X-Men character was "extremely therapeutic" following a "disheartening ordeal" during his initial portrayal of the role
In a recent interview, Alan Cumming, the acclaimed Scottish actor, shared his excitement about reprising his role as Kurt Wagner, also known as Nightcrawler, in the upcoming Marvel movie, "Avengers: Doomsday."
Cumming's return to the superhero world was announced in March this year, and he recently completed filming for the highly anticipated film. In a series of interviews, Cumming described his experience filming "Avengers: Doomsday" as "amazing" and "healing," a stark contrast to his previous experience on the set of X-Men.
In 2021, Cumming opened up about his negative experience during the filming of X2 in 2003, describing the set as "dangerous" and "abusive." These comments followed allegations of inappropriate behavior by X-Men director Bryan Singer.

Joining Cumming in "Avengers: Doomsday" are familiar faces from the X-Men franchise, including Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Rebecca Romijn, Kelsey Grammer, and James Marsden. The film is set to hit theatres on December 18, 2026.
