Kodi Smit-McPhee<\/strong> spoke with Den of Geek<\/a> about playing Nightcrawler in X-MEN: APOCALYPSE<\/a> during last week’s press tour for his film ‘Slow West’.<\/p>\n

“I think I’m really gonna make it my own,” said the actor when comparing his role to that of Alan Cumming’s portrayal in X2<\/a>. “Because it’s going back, I realized the Nightcrawler that’s portrayed in X2 has been through quite a bit more and really embraced the superhero part of him, that kind of violent part, whereas I think what they’re trying to show here is the more vulnerable Nightcrawler, the one we all kind of relate to when they’re explaining his past story in the comics.<\/p>\n

“It’s really the fun, happy, swash-buckling Nightcrawler that we all love, so I really can’t wait to portray that – he’s very vulnerable, truthful and grounded in his faith and I think it’s something new that we’ll see , but [with] all of the traditional things that we want in it.”<\/p>\n
