The star never returned as the Mutant again, until now.Nightcrawler, first introduced in the Giant-Size X-Men comic in May 1975, is a dark blue-skinned mutant with the ability to teleport to any known location. He also possesses superhuman reflexes and agility, and has sharp teeth and a pointed tail.
The character has appeared once more in the X-Men series, in the 2016 flick X-Men: Apocalypse, played by Kodi Smit-McPhee.However, Cumming is not the only X-Men star to be cast in Avengers 5, as four more original stars have also joined the Marvel Phase 6 project. Patrick Stewart will return as Professor X, Ian McKellen as Magneto, James Marsden as Cyclops, Channi.
