Avengers: Doomsday is building anticipation with its mysterious cast, and now, a familiar face from the original X-Men trilogy, Alan Cumming, has shed some light on the secrecy surrounding the film's characters. Cumming, who reprises his role as Nightcrawler, reveals that the script was filled with hidden names, a tactic employed by Marvel and the Russos to keep certain characters under wraps. This level of secrecy, he notes, is a challenge for actors and fans alike, as it adds an extra layer of intrigue to the already action-packed superhero soup. The actor's experience on the set of Bryan Singer's X2, which was marred by set issues and a cast protest, provides a stark contrast to his time on Avengers: Doomsday. He praises the positive working environment and the talent of the directors, the Russos, who he believes have created a more enjoyable and collaborative atmosphere. Despite the limited screen time, Cumming's enthusiasm for the project is evident, and he even hints at additional scenes, suggesting a deeper involvement than initially thought. The speculation about the fate of the original X-Men timeline and the potential crossover to another universe adds to the excitement. With the release of Avengers: Doomsday drawing near, fans are eager to uncover the secrets, and Cumming's insights only fuel the curiosity. The question remains: will the Russos use the returning X-Men cast to enhance the threat posed by Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom? The anticipation is palpable, and the ComicBook Forum is buzzing with discussions, as fans eagerly await the film's release.
