One of the big surprise return reveals for Avengers: Doomsday was Alan Cumming as Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler, the teleporting mutant he played in X2: X-Men United. Cumming didn’t return for any of the subsequent X-Men films, making his name among the Doomsday cast a true shock. But it’s clear that Cumming is excited to be back in blue, as he even spoiled that he’ll be fighting Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards at some point in the film. Now, via Comic Book, we know he’s posted something else on social media, photos hinting that Kurt wears his classic Marvel Comics costume in the film.
Among the images Cumming posted were his new prosthetic mutant teeth. But the surprise reveal was a box that says “Confidential Waste.” Taped to the box are images of Nightcrawler in his classic comic book costume, brandishing swords. It’s the iconic look artist Dave Cockrum came up with back in 1975. Unlike many of his fellow X-Men, Nightcrawler rarely changed costumes, because if it ain’t broke, why fix it? Even more revealing is another image, showing what looks like Cumming wearing the black and red. While it looks like a Photoshop mockup, it’s definitely the actor wearing something akin to his Uncanny X-Men comics costume.
The implications of this reveal for long-suffering X-Men fans have us excited. If Nightcrawler is wearing his comics-accurate costume, then it’s likely that the rest of the X-Men are as well. It took 24 years, but we finally got Hugh Jackman in the mask in Deadpool & Wolverine. If Nightcrawler is in his X-Men costume, that means we just might see Cyclops ditching the black leather at last. And hopefully, if and when they announce Jean Grey and Storm (c’mon Marvel), they’ll have their classic looks too. Between The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Superman, we’re finally entering the age of live-action superhero costumes not ashamed of the source material. It’s long past time for the X-Men to catch up.
