Did Alan Cumming Just Spoil a Nightcrawler VS Reed Richards Big Scene in Avengers: Doomsday?
X-Men’s actor is now set to return in Marvel’s upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, and he might have just dropped a spoiler involving Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic. Here’s what Cumming had to say and how the revelation might affect the movie’s plot.
Tom Holland might not be the only one to leak major spoilers for Marvel’s superhero movies anymore, with X-Men’s star Alan Cumming possibly joining the list too.
The actor, who was first featured in the X-Men franchise as Nightcrawler, will be reprising his role in the future blockbuster Avengers: Doomsday, set to reunite Marvel’s biggest stars and superheroes as they face yet another danger coming from Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom.
However, it seems like there might be some tension growing between several superhero teams uniting for the big fight, and Cumming was probably not joking when revealing a major plot twist for Doomsday.

It was just several weeks ago that the actor was talking about his preparation process for shooting Avengers: Doomsday’s scenes, but now he did move on to turning into Nightcrawler in front of the camera — and probably clashing with one of his character’s allies too.
“I was learning stunts yesterday for some fight scene and I'm thinking, 'I'm 60 years old. 23 years ago, I played that superhero. I was kind of old for a superhero even then. And now I'm back doing it. That, to me, is hilarious. I'm sort of learning these fights and I'm like, 'What? Who am I fighting with?' And they said, 'You're hitting Pedro Pascal against the head,' or something”, Cumming revealed in an interview with BuzzFeed UK, potentially spilling some tea about Nightcrawler’s feud with Pascal’s Reed Richards.
It’s not clear whether the actor was giving a real example or just coming up with something on the go.
However, some fans suggested the actor’s joking tone and his general manner of fooling around would be a solid proof that the example was just a random thought and nothing more.

Even though it might have just deprived the upcoming movie of the shocked gasp from its audiences in the theatres, leaked spoilers are probably not something Marvel fans should be surprised by right now.
“No more Tom Holland spoilers enter in Alan Cumming”, Redditor Opiumest joked in a thread.
“No one sees that cumming”, user gabbote also joined the list of those roasting Alan Cumming.

“That should be a wicked fight scene! Never thought of putting those two power sets against each other!”, knightenrichman got excited about the big fight in the meantime.
“I mean I think it was a given that the movie will include at least one misunderstanding that allows all the hero’s to get into a fight with each other for like 5 minutes until they realize they’re both heroes”, JefferyTheQuaxly suggested.
When Is Avengers: Doomsday Being Released?
The movie will arrive in theatres on May 1, 2026.
