Nightcrawler Will Reappear In 'X-Men: Days Of Future Past'
Much like Professor X himself, Bryan Singer is carefully constructing his team of exceptional individuals leading up to the start of production of 'X-Men: Days of Future Past.' His first task has been reassembling the cast of his previous X-Men film outings to reprise their roles: Sirs Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, Shawn Ashmore, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Hugh Jackman, and, most recently Halle Berry. Now it appears that Alan Cumming, who played Nightcrawler in 'X2' will be reappearing in 'Days of Future Past.' James McAvoy, one of the many 'X-Men: First Class' alums to also be returning for Singer's new film, let slip the news during a recent interview. Nightcrawler, for those who didn't see the movie or read the comics, is a blue-skinned mutant who can teleport himself across short distances. He also possesses incredible agility, adhesive hands and feet, and even a prehensile tail. 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' is due in theaters July 18th, 2014.
This really is shaping up to be a massive X-Men film, one with a cast that could end up rivaling 'X-Men: The Last Stand.' The difference of course is that Brett Ratner is no longer at the helm so there is not as much concern that the movie will be overloaded to the point that it is unwieldy. Nightcrawler is such a badass, and I'm thrilled that Cumming is, well, coming back to take on the role again. He added such a sweet sympathy to Nightcrawler, and I'm excited to see what he does with the character this time around. One interesting thing to see will be what changes, if any, are made to the effects work here. I was really impressed with the way the filmmakers brought Nightcrawler's teleportation to the screen. A decade has passed since 'X2,' and several advancements have been made in the area of digital effects, but do we really need to make major adjustments to the computer-generated logistics of this character given how well they worked the first time? We wouldn't him to be overly CG after all.
What do you guy think? Are you happy that Alan Cumming is returning? What did you think of Singer's interpretation of Nightcrawler?

He was ok as Nightcrawler, but after FIRST CLASS I dunno how he's gonna fit into the storyline. Unless they're doing it word-for-word from Chris Claremont's writing this could be a hit or another fail.

It's...is odd. If the fluff is to be believed, Nightcrawler was 'cured' of his mutations between the second and third films. This was covered in the official movie books and video games, but was cut from X3: How To Fuck Up A Good Thing. So, does this mean we will see an alternate timeline?
Personally, Nightcrawler was one of my fav X-Men. The character was nearly a paragon of everything the book was about. He looked like a blue demon, and even smelled of brimstone when he teleported...and yet he was caring, funny and deeply spiritual. Before his death in the comics, he became an ordained Catholic priest, and incorporated a collar into his costume. He was on several teams outside the X-Men and even lead them at times. His friendship with Wolverine was a great point/counterpoint dynamic that both balanced their personalities and brought out their better sides.

Yeah, you never know, ShadowNeverDies and Boatloads1017. Is it subterfuge from Cummings, trying to make the pre-announcement seems like rumor? Or is it more likely that he was never part of the story (that has been prepped for a few months now), and wouldn't want to be tortured in the makeup chair (like in X2) again anyway?
Who can say? At this point though, we have to assume Cummings himself is a good authority on the matter, which is too bad for fans.
On the makeup part, Negro, I think that Jennifer Lawrence recently said that, for Days of Future Past, the Mystique makeup approach has been streamlined to minutes instead of hours. Good news for Cummings and a more favorable experience on returning, perhaps?

@K-Bomb: Have they just not asked him yet? I mean I don't think he's required for the film and if he was in it they should probably you know include the connection to his mother but since that seems left out of the films it probably doesn't hurt the film at all if he isn't in it. He wasn't really a true member of the team in 2 anyhow.

@K-Bomb That's the problem with so much of movie news these days. Now that news is 24/7, people are on the jump to get a good story and will pass off rumors only to come back and say "Oops, our bad."

Unfortunately, Cumming himself said that he won't be returning as Nightcrawler...

I'm with the Halfrican, people shouldn't be worried about lack of character development given the majority of the signings so far had plenty of exposure in the previous films, the only ones who would need more from the list in the article would be Kitty Pryde and MAYBE Iceman. I've got faith in Singer, he handled the larger X-Men team in X2 with no problems. The Last Stand could have been better without that moron Brett Rat at the helm.

I just hope make-up effects have improved in a way so my boy doesn't have to spend 8 hours in the chair to apply his make-up like before.

Man just when I think this movie can't get any better, it tops it self. But don't fuck this up, I don't need a X-Men: The Last Stand part 2

@The Halfrican Yeah but look at First Class. Sure we seen Magneto and Proff. X three times before (4 times we seen Charles if you count Wolverine Origins) but in 1st Class they manage to showed us how they came to be without really relaying on the other Xmen movies to fill us in. I am worried this movie might turn into X3 or Origins and just show each mutant for 10 minutes, show what type of powers they have and leave like they did with Deadpool, Juggernaut, Gambit etc.
