Nightcrawler actor says it was "really healing" to return as his X-Men character after "terrible experience" the first time he played the role

Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler.

Alan Cumming recently finished filming his scenes for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, and he has described the experience as "amazing" and "healing." The actor is reprising the role of the blue-skinned mutant Kurt Wagner (aka Nightcrawler) more than two decades after his debut in 2003's X-Men sequel, X2.

"I just came back. It was amazing. It was actually really – in a sort of ooey, gooey way, it was really healing and really nice to go back to something that it was a terrible experience when I did it the first time," Cumming told People, saying Doomsday is "a great film."
