Alan Cumming<\/a> has revealed he inadvertently injured Pedro Pascal<\/a> during production of the upcoming Marvel movie Avengers: Doomsday.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Traitors<\/a> host, 60, is set to reprise his role as X-Men superhero Nightcrawler in the film.<\/p>\n

Speaking during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/a>, Cumming said: \u201cWhat was funny was my first scene with Pedro, he hurt his neck and had to go home. So I broke Pedro.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked whether the pair had been fighting at the time, Cumming responded: \u201cNo, I wasn\u2019t fighting, no. I was just sort of\u2026 being.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Scottish actor and presenter avoided revealing details about the much-anticipated film, but did say that Pascal received a massage to help him recover. \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 <\/p>\n

X-Men fans were celebrating on social media this week after getting a first glimpse of James Marsden returning to the role of Cyclops in a new trailer for Avengers: Doomsday.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Paradise star, 52, first played the superhero and his alter-ego Scott Summers in Bryan Singer\u2019s 2000 film, X-Men.<\/a><\/p>\n

He returned to the role in sequels X2: X-Men United (2003) and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). Despite the fact that the character was killed off in the latter movie, he returned to play a cameo role in 2014\u2019s time-traveling X-Men: Days of Future Past.<\/a><\/p>\n

He will play Cyclops once again in the upcoming Marvel epic, alongside a host of other X-Men stars, including Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto) and Rebecca Romijn (Mystique). The new trailer sees Professor X and Magneto reunite, playing a game of chess with hovering pieces. The clip then cuts to a dramatic scene of Cyclops ripping off his visor and unleashing an unrestrained optic blast.<\/p>\n

On social media, fans lauded the return of Marsden to the role and noted that he wears a costume that\u2019s faithful to the original comics.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never been a Cyclops fan but I always thought James Marsden was perfectly cast and they did him dirty in the X-Men movies. Glad to see a possible redemption for Avengers: Doomsday,\u201d one fan wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Another wrote<\/a>: \u201cJames Marsden you deserved so much more for being Scott Summers,\u201d while one posted a gif taken from the trailer with the caption<\/a>: \u201cJAMES MARSDEN AS CYCLOPS WILL FINALLY BE DONE JUSTICE IN AVENGERS DOOMSDAY RAGHHH.\u201d<\/p>\n

Avengers: Doomsday will arrive in cinemas December 18, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alan Cumming has revealed he inadvertently injured Pedro Pascal during production of the upcoming Marvel movie Avengers: Doomsday.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":400834,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,1348,3355,134,3359,3353,44,3356,3354,3357,3358,427,1346],"class_list":{"0":"post-400833","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-breaking-news","11":"tag-daily-news","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-global-news","14":"tag-inkl","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-news-app","17":"tag-news-headlines","18":"tag-news-today","19":"tag-today-news","20":"tag-tv","21":"tag-world-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400833","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=400833"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400833\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/400834"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=400833"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=400833"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=400833"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
