The actor recently told People at the Televerse 2025 conference that he “just finished” filming the Russo brothers’ highly anticipated Doomsday film, which is set to hit theaters in May 2026.

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.
