The original artwork was shared by Alan Cumming himself, who plays Nightcrawler and is returning for the next Avengers movie. It appeared to show a picture of his character in costume, but, as one person has debunked on Twitter, the image is actually an edit made by a fan and shared online last year.

Alan Cumming has described his return to the Marvel universe as both unexpected and healing. More than two decades after first portraying Nightcrawler in 2003’s X2: X-Men United, the Emmy-winning actor has stepped back into the role for Avengers: Doomsday, set for release in May 2026.

Alan Cumming recently opened up about reprising his role as Nightcrawler in Avengers: Doomsday and reflected on how it differed from his first experience. In a new panel appearance, he shared details about filming the upcoming Marvel movie.
