Will Nightcrawler Appear in 'Avengers: Doomsday'?
Avengers: Doomsday is clearly one of the biggest superhero reunions ever witnessed on the big screen. From beloved X-Men favourites to Thor and Captain America, several iconic characters are gearing up to return to fight against Doctor Doom. While Marvel has officially confirmed some of these appearances, others remain top secret at Marvel.
Understandably, this has began the chatter on who else might be joining the stacked cast and, more importantly, which actors will be stepping back into their iconic roles. One character who has been gaining traction is Nightcrawler. Is the mutant coming back for the battle in Avengers: Doomsday?
Is Nightcrawler coming back in Avengers: Doomsday?
Yes, Nightcrawler will make an appearance in Avengers: Doomsday. Also known as Kurt Wagner, he is one of the popular superheroes and mutants. He is blue-skinned and has the powers to teleport.
A And the character will be played by none other than Alan Cumming, who appeared as Nightcrawler in the 2003 film X2. Now more than two decades later, the Scottish actor and filmmaker will return to reprise his role. Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, James Marsden, Rebecca Romijn, and Kelsey Grammer are some of the legendary actor who rerprised their roles in the marvel movie.
While the characters may have been revealed by Marvel, the cast and crew have been tight-lipped about the plot. Or perhaps, as many cast members said, they have no idea about the plot. Cumming in his interview with SiriusXM, shared that he did not understand the plot. He explained most of his job was running around on the set.
“To be honest, I don’t fully understand the plot," he said.
The actor also recalled meeting Florence Pugh after working with her body double.
Alan Cumming and Florence Pugh worked with each other’s body double
During his interview with SiriusXM, Alan Cumming recalled meeting Florence Pugh for the first time at an Emmy event. He revealed that although they had never met before, the two share scenes in Avengers: Doomsday. The actor hilariously joked about the situation as he explained that they had actually worked with each other’s body doubles.
"And I said, ‘Gosh, it’s so funny. I’ve never met you, but you lay on top of me, or your body double did.’ And she goes, ‘Yeah I lay on top of you as well, but it was your body double,'” he recalled the conversation with Pugh.
Pugh also joined in on the joke, admitting that she had worked with his body double. Cumming might not be alone in his confusion, as Kelsey Grammer previously confirmed that he is clueless about the film’s plot (as per CBSNews). It seems that the cast is just as much in the dark about the movie as the audience.
