Alan Cumming, who is set to reprise his role as Nightcrawler in Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Doomsday,” says he does not fully understand the film’s plot. In comments to SiriusXM, the actor says, “To be honest, I don’t fully understand the plot,” despite being involved in production.
Both outlets report that Cumming’s remarks come in the context of filming the movie, which is scheduled for release on December 18, 2026. Variety adds that Cumming implies he had limited context on the story even while working on set, describing that he acted without fully knowing how events around him fit together. ComingSoon similarly focuses on his lack of clarity about the storyline. The two accounts align on the core point: Cumming is starring in the movie but says he has not gained a clear understanding of its plot during production.
