It’s been 23 years since Cumming, 60, made his MCU debut as the teleporting mutant in 2003’s X-Men sequel. He will reprise his role in the forthcoming Avengers film alongside Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Paul Rudd, Florence Pugh, and Robert Downey Jr.

Alan Cumming found it “really healing” to reprise his role as Nightcrawler in Avengers: Doomsday after a disastrous experience making X2 with Bryan Singer in 2003.

Nightcrawler is making his comeback in Marvel's forthcoming movie Avengers: Doomsday. Alan Cumming, who originally played the character in X2: X-Men United in 2003, is returning to the role after over twenty years.
