Alan Cumming Calls Marvel’s ‘X2: X-Men United’ His “Gayest Film”


Alan Cumming is reflecting on his past film roles and has a particular thing to say about 2003's X2: X-Men United.

The Traitors host played the role of Nightcrawler in the sequel to the 2000 Bryan Singer film X-Men. “The character is really interesting, the message of the film (tolerance of others who are different from us) was very timely and unusual for a Hollywood blockbuster, but the real drag was having to spend over four hours a day having two men poke my face,” Cummin says. “Then there were the harnesses for the tail and for flying, the feet, the hands — which made going to the loo a group effort, the teeth, the lenses, oh God don’t get me started.”
