I'm up for Cumming return (ripe accent and all).

It's also possible that they could just mocap Nightcrawler this time around. No uncomfortable makeup for Cumming to deal with, then.

That works, too, although I'm not 100% how authentic it'll look in comparison to the make-up he had previously. But I don't care, if they can get him back, I'll be thrilled.

Still waiting for Kelsey Grammer...

Why not, seems the wish list keeps getting checked off at this point.

Alan Cumming up for returning


Nothing concrete, but still nice to know...

So he's up for returning. I wonder if they need him back for the sake of the story they've adapted or if they could get him for a fair price they'd put him in and write him into existing scenes with a few lines.

Normally we'd most likely all be talking/complaining about how over crowded this feels with mutants, right? But somehow this feels natural and not forced for this story.

On the famous Days of Future Past cover Nightcrawler is shown as being "slain". They could still obviously still use Kurt somehow though, just not in the future scenes.

[Captain Craig]

Yeah, which is why I mentioned "how they adapted" this story. Cummings may be up to return but is it needed? A throw-a-way line would mention his fate. Heck some nod to that poster on the cover of #141 would be cool also.
If he returned maybe a scene showing him being slain doing something brave?

[Admiral_Young]

Maybe show him in a Sentinel encounter or something, yeah.

Something like this. I remember finding this a few years ago online (photoshop job, obviously.) Still pretty cool though

^If they did that it'd be awesome to see a montage of them dying, sorta like the order 66 sequence in ep III.

Why do you assume the story will be adapted even remotely close to the original comic? Smart money says there will be major changes.

[Admiral_Young]

^ Of course it will be different. I was just pointing out for the sake of it that in the actual story Nightcrawler is dead. We've already discussed in the thread that it is very possible the actual story will be altered as story demand requires it to be.

Well, I stand corrected.

He doesn't say anything about difficulties with the make-up. Either I'm misremembering, it was just a fan rumor, or he's willing to deal with it this time around.

Wasn't there something about him not getting on with Singer, or was that also a fan rumour?

[Admiral_Young]

^ I think that was a rumour. I don't recall anything legit about the two not getting along.

[Donald Draper]

Fan created rumors on the internet? Now that is just crazy talk!!!

[Set Harth]

I hear there's a lot of Cumming on the internet.

[Turtletrekker]

Snikt.
