Belfast Telegraph — When asked about his exclusion from X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, Nightcrawler actor Alan Cumming says “There was a time when it was maybe going to happen, but I wasn’t available so it didn’t happen.” He isn’t crying tears over it, as he loathed the time-grueling makeup process, saying “I’m not dying to get back into all that make-up and be dangling from wires and having a tail.”
Despite this, Cumming still confesses that he really loved X2, saying “Don’t get me wrong, I thought it was a great film, but it wasn’t my favorite experience of my life.” If they did ask him to return, he says he still “would give it a go.”

Gaaaahhhh I was hoping to see him in the movie!
I would have loved to see Alan back as Kurt Wagner. He did a nice job in X2. I hope Brian surprises every one with his presence in the movie.
the bottom line is “He doesn’t want to be part of the X-men again.” it sad to admit but that’s what it is.. I think they should get some new actor, to portray him.. that’s the only choice..
Out of topic.
With the advent of SHIELDS agents on TV and Warner/Fox getting the GOTHAM TV series shaped and ready… isn’t it time for the X-Men to get a proper TV-treatment?
They could easily set up a series in the X-Men film universe continuity using known and unknown characters having the opportunity for cameos of our movie heroes.
I think this is worth an article 😉
