Alan Cumming Says Returning in 'Avengers: Doomsday' Healed Him After Bad 'X-Men' Experience

Alan Cumming, the actor known for performances in the Spy Kids franchise, Eyes Wide Shut, and the TV show The Good Wife, had a short but quite important role in the superhero franchise X-Men. Cumming played the mutant Nightcrawler in 2003's sequel X2: X-Men United, and though he never reprised the role again in the sequels that followed, he actually will be giving life to Nightcrawler again in the near future. The 60-year-old actor will appear as the religious mutant again in Avengers: Doomsday, the ambitious MCU film that's set to be released in December 2026. More than two decades have passed since he sat for extensive makeup sessions, but the actor feels more than happy to go back. Especially because his experience in the superhero genre was far from pleasant. He found the Doomsday experience to be "healing."
