10 Former X-Men Actors Perfect For The MCU
7. Alan Cumming
Alan Cumming's portrayal of Nighcrawler was one of the highlights of the acclaimed X2: X-Men United, not to mention that his White House scene is one of the most memorable sequences of the entire franchise.
Unfortunately, the heavy makeup involved (and the departure of Bryan Singer from the film) made Cumming reconsider a reprisal for X-Men: The Last Stand. Perhaps the MCU could tempt him back into the superhero world if they promise to limit his time in the makeup chair.
Cumming is an exceptional actor and has the powerful stage presence that Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen have. Who better to bring a Shakespearean sense of drama to the space opera world of the Eternals or Inhumans? Cumming should be a top pick to play alongside Richard Madden and Salma Hayek in a sequel.
