Alan Cumming called his experience reprising his role as Nightcrawler in Avengers: Doomsday 'really healing' after the 'miserable' filming of X2.

Nightcrawler is making his comeback in Marvel's forthcoming movie Avengers: Doomsday. Alan Cumming, who originally played the character in X2: X-Men United in 2003, is returning to the role after over twenty years.

The actor recently told People at the Televerse 2025 conference that he “just finished” filming the Russo brothers’ highly anticipated Doomsday film, which is set to hit theaters in May 2026.
