Alan Cumming accidentally injured Pedro Pascal during the making of Avengers: Doomsday.<\/p>\n
The 60-year-old actor reprised his role as Nightcrawler in the 2026 Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) blockbuster after more than a 20-year hiatus, and Cumming has now revealed he accidentally \u201cbroke\u201d the Mr. Fantastic star while filming a scene for the movie.<\/p>\n
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host asked Cumming what fans could expect from Nightcrawler in Avengers: Doomsday, to which he replied: \u201cAll of [the X-Men cast] are in it, too.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat was funny was that in my first scene with Pedro, he hurt his neck and had to go home. I broke Pedro.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Traitors hosted insisted the mishap did not take place during a fight scene, and was simply a production slip-up.<\/p>\n
He explained: \u201cNo, I wasn’t fighting. No, no. I was just, sort of, being … we were just together in a scene, and I wasn’t fighting, no.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe’s got these big long arms and everything, so it’s quite complicated. I do have a tail, but I didn’t have my tail on at the time. Pedro didn’t have his arms on either.\u201d<\/p>\n
As well as Cumming\u2019s Nightcrawler, Avengers: Doomsday will see the return of X-Men icons Sir Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Sir Ian McKellen (Magneto), Kelsey Grammer (Beast), Channing Tatum (Gambit), James Marsden (Cyclops) and Rebecca Romijn (Mystique).<\/p>\n
Avengers and Thunderbolts* stars Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Anthony Mackie (Captain America), Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova), Sebastian Stan (James \u2018Bucky\u2019 Barnes), Wyatt Russell (U.S. Agent), David Harbour (Red Guardian) and Lewis Pullman (Sentry) are also confirmed to appear in the blockbuster.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Fantastic Four – as portrayed by Pascal (Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn (The Human Torch) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Thing) – will also have a role to play in the flick.<\/p>\n
It has also confirmed been confirmed that Chris Evans will return as Steve Rogers after last playing Captain America in 2019\u2019s Avengers: Endgame.<\/p>\n
Avengers: Doomsday – which is being helmed by directors Joe and Anthony Russo and is due to release on December 18, 2026 – will likely follow the Avengers, the New Avengers, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four as they join forces to stop Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) from unleashing his devastating plans for the Multiverse.<\/p>\n
Cumming previously revealed he had been \u201clearning stunts\u201d for a \u201cfight scene\u201d in Avengers: Doomsday.<\/p>\n
Speaking with Buzzfeed UK, he said: \u201cI was learning stunts yesterday for some fight scene and I just think, I\u2019m 60 years old. 23 years ago, I played that superhero.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was kind of old for a superhero even then. And now I\u2019m back doing it. And that, to me, is hilarious.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sort of learning these fights and I\u2019m like, \u2018What? Who am I fighting with?\u2019 And they said, \u2018You\u2019re hitting Pedro Pascal against the head,\u2019 or something.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alan Cumming accidentally injured Pedro Pascal during the making of Avengers: Doomsday.
