  "account": "Alan Cumming, an X-Men star, has admitted during an interview on SiriusXM that he did not fully comprehend the plot of Avengers: Doomsday while filming. One of the scenes involved him being close to Florence Pugh's Black Widow character. Cumming explained that he was on set during a rare scene where he was not behind a blue screen, and a director provided him with details about the battle involving giant robots, which are the Sentinels Doctor Doom brings to life. Cumming stated that he only needed to know where to point his weapon, and he would do so. The scene likely involved the Sentinels and the first major confrontation between the Avengers and X-Men.",
