Alan Cumming 'Doesn't Understand' Avengers: Doomsday
Alan Cumming says Marvel kept the storyline under wraps and left him with little context while he reprises Nightcrawler in the ensemble film.
- On Thursday, actor Alan Cumming revealed he "doesn't fully understand" the plot of Avengers: Doomsday, hitting theaters December 18. The 61-year-old is reprising his role as Nightcrawler after a 23-year absence.
- Cumming wasn't allowed to read the full script before filming started, leaving him baffled by the CGI-heavy production. He jokingly admitted his primary contribution involves little more than to "run around."
- Advancements in makeup techniques have significantly streamlined production for the veteran actor. Applying the Nightcrawler transformation now takes only 90 minutes, compared to four and a half hours during his initial 2003 appearance.
- During Monday's Emmys, Cumming finally met co-star Florence Pugh. He humorously noted, "I've never met you, but you lay on top of me, or your body double did," after only filming scenes with her double.
- Avengers: Doomsday follows beloved heroes from three distinct universes facing an existential threat. The production also marks the return of X-Men alumni Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Rebecca Romijn, and James Marsden.
