‘X-Men’ Screenwriter ‘Really Happy’ That Alan Cumming Calls ‘X2’ the ‘Gayest Film I’ve Ever Done,’ Says Ian McKellen ‘Really Recognized’ the Film’s Gay Allegory
Alan Cumming has called "X2: X-Men United" the gayest movie he's ever made, and screenwriter David Hayter is really happy about it.
Hayter, who had sole screenwriting credit on the original “X-Men” movie, co-wrote the “X2” script with Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris. Cumming spoke to Entertainment Weekly earlier this month on the Emmys awards campaign trail for “The Traitors” and said there’s no gayer movie in his filmography than “X2.” Cumming did not reprise Nightcrawler in the additional “X-Men” sequels, although rumors have circulated that he’ll be popping up as the mutant in the upcoming Marvel movie “Deadpool and Wolverine.”
