Alan Cumming Returns as Nightcrawler in Marvel’s 'Avengers: Doomsday'

Marvel Studios confirms Cumming's reprisal of his fan-favorite X-Men role, marking a major milestone in integrating the X-Men into the MCU.

Alan Cumming will reprise his role as Nightcrawler in 'Avengers: Doomsday,' his first return to the character since 2003's 'X2: X-Men United.'
Marvel Studios officially announced the inclusion of other X-Men actors, such as Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and Kelsey Grammer, in the upcoming film.
Cumming shared his excitement on social media with a playful video mimicking Nightcrawler's movements, signaling a positive shift from his past reluctance tied to negative experiences on 'X2.'
Directed by the Russo Brothers, 'Avengers: Doomsday' will explore themes of unity and sacrifice as Earth's mightiest heroes and the X-Men face a cosmic threat.
Speculation suggests Nightcrawler’s role may involve CGI to ease physical demands, but details on his character's involvement remain under wraps.
