Pedro Pascal<\/a> learned the hard way not to mess with a member of the X-Men. \u00a0<\/p>\n

During his visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live<\/a> on Wednesday, Alan Cumming<\/a> revealed that he injured the Fantastic Four<\/a> actor\u00a0while they were filming their very first scene in Avengers: Doomsday<\/a> together.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat was funny was my first scene with Pedro, he hurt his neck and had to go home,\u201d Cumming told host Jimmy Kimmel<\/a>. \u201cSo I broke Pedro.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

In May, Cumming made headlines when he accidentally revealed that Doomsday will see his X-Men character Kurt Wagner\/Nightcrawler<\/a> go head-to-head against Pascal\u2019s Reed Richards\/Mr. Fantastic in at least one scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, Kimmel was shocked to learn that Cumming actually ending up doing lasting damage to his costar. \u201cDid you hurt his neck?\u201d the host asked. \u201cWere you fighting with him at the time?\u201d<\/p>\n

But Cumming played coy. \u201cNo, I wasn\u2019t fighting, no,\u201d he said. \u201cI was just sort of\u2026 being.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked instead if he was fighting alongside Pascal, Cumming burst into laughter.\u00a0\u201cYou\u2019re trying to get me into trouble again,\u201d he teased. \u201cNo, no, it wasn\u2019t. We were just together in a scene. And I wasn\u2019t fighting! But he\u2019s got these long arms and everything, so it\u2019s quite complicated.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

The Emmy winner went on to clarify that neither of their characters were utilizing their powers when the incident occurred. \u201cI do have a tail, but I didn\u2019t have my tail on at the time,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd Pedro didn\u2019t have his arms on either.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pascal did, however, end up having to get a massage in order to fix his neck. \u201cHe got cupped! Do you know that thing, the cupping?\u201d Cumming asked Kimmel. \u201cHe showed me a couple of nights later at the hotel.\u201d\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

Cumming and Pascal addressed the accidental Doomsday leak when the Fantastic Four: First Steps cast visited Jimmy Kimmel Live in July. At the time, Cumming, who was filling in as a guest host, asked his fellow Marvel stars if they found it hard to keep the MCU\u2019s many secrets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s funny that you should ask,\u201d Pascal fired back. \u201cThe biggest leak that we\u2019ve had comes from our host.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cumming admitted that he ended in trouble for the slip. \u201cMy publicist called me,\u201d he said. \u201cThe wrath of your publicist is not a wrath you want to have.\u201d\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Traitors host also tried to suggest that the leak may have been one big lie.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI said a thing about us fighting but \u2014 cub’s honor \u2014\u00a0have you done what I said, have you been in a fight with me in this film, Pedro?\u201d Cumming asked. A visibly stunned Pascal took a beat before cryptically answering, “Alan and I have never had a fight.”\n<\/p>\n

Which is all Cumming needed to prove his point. \u201cSee!” he cheered. “So, actually, maybe I got it wrong and the fight was about somebody else and I was double bluffing you Marvel people!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSo smart, so smart,\u201d Pascal teased. \u201cIntentional, intentional.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
