Overview
- At the TriBeCa Ball in New York, Cumming said the X2 cast stayed in touch because they were “bonded in trauma,” naming Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Rebecca Romijn and James Marsden.
- He called the 2003 shoot miserable, citing up to five hours a day in the makeup chair and difficulties working with director Bryan Singer.
- He described returning to Nightcrawler for Avengers: Doomsday as healing and praised “the brothers” directing the new film for running a respectful, supportive set.
- He noted that filming for the new project often happened separately, so not all original cast members reunited on set.
- Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to reach theaters on December 18, 2026, with an ensemble that includes Anthony Mackie, Paul Rudd, Tom Hiddleston, Simu Liu, Rebecca Romijn, Kelsey Grammer and Danny Ramirez.
