You know… I’ve kept my enthusiasm level up pretty high about X-Men 3. Even though there’s been some grumbling about the script, and some anti- Brett Ratner banter going around, I’ve decided to stay positive about the project. Even when Bryan Singer left the project… I was concerned but still optimistic.
Well throw that all out the window. News is now coming out that Alan Cumming, the guy who brought Nightcrawler to life in X-Men 2 has officially been told that his services for X-Men 3 will not be needed. Alan’s official website has the following:
EX X MAN!! Alan will NOT be appearing in X3. Fox has not picked up his option to play Nightcrawler for a second movie.
This is stupidity at it’s worst! Cumming was amazing in X-Men 2 and his absence from X-Men 3 will be devastating to the film. What the hell are they thinking?!?!
John’s note to the producers of X-Men 3: Stop being stupid. Get Cumming back on board you morons!
