'X-Men' star gets candid about 'Avengers: Doomsday' script

Alan Cumming, as Nightcrawler, after many years, is set to appear in a Marvel movie, i.e., Avengers: Doomsday.

In a chat with ET, he says, "We eventually saw a script. It took a while, but we had a script."

Apart from this, the star teases the entry of his fellow X-Men character Storm in the upcoming MCU movie. However, he added, "I don't… but honestly, I'm the last person to ask."

Playing Nightcrawler again, Alan said in a previous interview, was an "amazing experience."

“I just came back,” he earlier told People. “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 was a terrible experience when I did it the first time. A great film, great film. I love the film.”

In addition, other characters from the mutant world are returning. James Marsden's Cyclops, Rebecca Romijn's Mystique, Kelsey Grammer's Beast, Ian McKellen's Magneto, Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier, and Channing Tatum's Gambit.

Besides them, the cast of Thunderbolts*, the Fantastic Four, Chris Hemsworth's Thor, Anthony Mackie's Captain America, Danny Ramirez's Falcon, Letitia Wright's Shuri, and Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom are returning.

Avengers: Doomsday will bow out in cinemas on December 18, 2026.
