Based on the Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal, it looks like we’ll be getting the Marvel superhero reunion that dreams are made of. Not only will The Avengers and The Fantastic Four be sharing screen time, but so will iconic X-Men heroes like Nightcrawler. Considering I haven’t seen Alan Cumming’s blue-skinned character since 2003’s X2 (which is streaming on your Disney+ subscription), I’m psyched to see the Scottish actor returning for the upcoming Marvel movie. Even more so now after the “ooey gooey comments” he made.
Even though his character was only in one movie, I always thought that Nightcrawler was one of the coolest superheroes of the X-Men movies. Kodi Smit-McPhee may have been excellent in the prequels, but I still can’t get over Alan Cumming’s performance in one of the best action scenes of the franchise when Nightcrawler infiltrated the White House, crawling on ceilings and transporting himself away from flying bullets. So you can imagine how pumped I was to find out Cumming was returning to Avengers: Doomsday with his fellow X-Men cast after 23 years.
