Alan Cumming doesn't understand the plot of Avengers: Doomsday
The actor spoke with SiriusXM about his latest X-perience in the Marvel team-up movie.
Alan Cumming, who portrayed Nightcrawler in the 2003 X-Men sequel X2: X-Men United, recently shared his perspective on the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film during an interview on The Morning Mash Up. The Scottish actor admitted that he does not fully comprehend the plot of the superhero movie, which is set to be released on December 18.
Cumming joked about being on set when a crew member tried to explain the complex story involving giant robots controlled by Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom. He simply wanted to know where to point his attention, as he was there to "run around," a crucial part of any superhero film. The director, Joe Russo, and Anthony Russo, known for their improvisational style, may have been adapting the plot, making it difficult for even the stars like Cumming to stay in the loop.
Despite his lack of understanding, Cumming did mention working with Florence Pugh on set, though she clarified that she was either the actual performer or her body double. Avengers: Doomsday is still in the writing stage and is expected to hit theaters on December 18.
