Alan Cumming has been given his walking papers from the mansion of mutants.
Expected to reprise his role as Nightcrawler in "X-Men 3", Cumming has been told he’ll not be required back for the Brett Ratner helmed second sequel, says his official site and Coming Soon.
Cumming’s official site says : "EX X MAN!! Alan will NOT be appearing in X3. Fox has not picked up his option to play Nightcrawler for a second movie".
Funnily enough, even Variety mentioned that Cumming was one of the "X-Men 3" troops, in an item last month.
