Earlier this month, Alan Cumming appeared to reveal he will be fighting Pascal in Avengers: Doomsday.

The 60-year-old actor is set to reprise his X2: X-Men United mutant Nightcrawler in the upcoming MCU blockbuster, and the star hinted he may be coming to blows with Pascal’s Mr Fantastic in Avengers: Doomsday.

During a video interview with Buzzfeed UK, Cumming said: “I was learning stunts yesterday for some fight scene and I just think, I’m 60 years old. 23 years ago, I played that superhero.

“I was kind of old for a superhero even then. And now I’m back doing it. And that, to me, is hilarious.

“I’m sort of learning these fights and I’m like, ‘What? Who am I fighting with?’ And they said, ‘You’re hitting Pedro Pascal against the head,’ or something.”

Cumming recently admitted he was “amazed and excited” to be returning as Nightcrawler for Avengers: Doomsday, which is currently filming in London.

Speaking with fellow X-Men star Olivia Munn for Collider, Cumming said: “Isn’t it nuts? I’m excited and amazed. It’s been 23 years since I was a superhero.”
