As previously reported on Queerty, Alan Cumming is reprising his role as the mutant Nightcrawler on the forthcoming Avengers: Doomsday. Cumming first played the role in the X-Men sequel, X2: X-Men United, in 2003.

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.

Alan Cumming says returning to the role of Nightcrawler for Avengers: Doomsday "really healing" compared to "miserable" X2 shoot in 2003.
