> Cumming added that filming “X2” with defamed director Bryan Singer was “miserable” and “awful for a variety of reasons that I have talked about at length.” However, filming “Doomsday” has been the complete opposite experience for the Emmy winner.
> “It was actually really great to go back,” he added. “I’m 60 years old. I did not think I would be doing stunts, playing a superhero in my 60s. So that was great. And everyone was really nice. And I got it done really quickly because I couldn’t go, because of The Traitors, when most of my scenes were being shot.”
I doubt many people had a good experience on a Bryan Singer film.
Oh wow! I didn’t realize he was coming back. Nightcrawler was my fave bit of x2
