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.

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.

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.
