As of now, there is no verified public statement from actor and activist Alexander Cumming (commonly known as Alex Cumming) calling the film X2 "terrible" or praising Doomsday Healing. In fact, it's possible there's confusion with another celebrity or a misattribution. Alexander Cumming is known for his roles in films like The Last King of Scotland, The Good Wife, and Wicked, and for his advocacy work. However, he has not made notable public comments about X2 (2003), the X-Men sequel, nor about a film or project called Doomsday Healing. There is no known film titled Doomsday Healing in mainstream cinema. If this quote surfaced online, it may be fictional, satirical, or misattributed. Always verify quotes from celebrities through reputable sources like official interviews, press releases, or established media outlets. If you have more context—such as a specific interview, article, or social media post—I’d be happy to help clarify further.

Alan Cumming has opened up about the emotional contrast between his two experiences portraying Nightcrawler—first in the 2003 film X2: X-Men United, which he now recalls as a "miserable" and "awful" ordeal, and his return for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, which he describes as deeply healing and joyful.

In a recent interview with People, Cumming reflected on how far he's come since the troubled production of X2, a film he's previously criticized in his 2021 memoir, Baggage: Tales from a Fully Packed Life. He detailed the toxic atmosphere on set under director Bryan Singer, who he accused of substance abuse, erratic behavior, and creating a deeply uncomfortable environment for the cast and crew. These revelations contributed to lasting trauma for Cumming and many others involved.

“It was amazing,” Cumming said of returning to the role. “In a really emotional way, it felt healing and rewarding to revisit something that had been such a terrible experience the first time. It’s a great film—I truly love it.”

He went on to express surprise and gratitude at being able to reprise the role at age 60, especially given the physical demands of playing a superhero again. “Going back was actually wonderful,” he said. “At 60, I never imagined I'd be performing stunts and playing a superhero again. The cast and crew were all so kind.”

Cumming also shared that his time on Avengers: Doomsday was brief but meaningful—he had to film his scenes quickly, in part because he was still involved in The Traitors, the reality TV series in which he starred. Despite the tight schedule, he felt supported and inspired by the new team.

As production continues on Avengers: Doomsday, the film is expected to bring together an array of returning X-Men legends, including Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Kelsey Grammer (Beast), James Marsden (Cyclops), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), and Ian McKellen (Magneto). Rumors are also swirling about Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) and Xochitl Gomez (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) joining the ensemble.

Cumming’s emotional journey—from enduring a difficult past to now embracing a joyful return—adds a powerful personal layer to the long-awaited superhero crossover. For him, Avengers: Doomsday isn’t just another movie. It’s redemption.
