It took a while. We had a script.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Cummings further went on to explain the level of secrecy Marvel put in place to prevent any leaks. He added, \u201cIt&#8217;s complicated. A lot of the time, some characters have different names for secrecy. I got the gist of it. It&#8217;s massive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As is well known, Marvel is very strict and keeps all cards close to its chest. Due to this strict policy, Cumming previously admitted in an interview with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goldderby.com\/tv\/2025\/alan-cumming-traitors-emmys-doomsday-romy-michele\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Gold Derby;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Gold Derby<\/a> that the studio did everything to keep even the actors in the dark. He said, \u201cI did the entire film in isolation. Lots of green screen, face replacement. They even gave characters fake names. I don\u2019t know who I was acting with half the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Avengers: Doomsday will mark the return of X-Men alumni\u00a0Professor X (Patrick Stewart), Magneto (Ian McKellen), Beast (Kelsey Grammer), Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming), Mystique (Rebecca Romijn), Cyclops (James Marsden), and Gambit (Channing Tatum).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/james-marsden-return-x-men-174753493.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: James Marsden on His Return as X-Men\u2019s Cyclops in Avengers: Doomsday;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Related: James Marsden on His Return as X-Men\u2019s Cyclops in Avengers: Doomsday<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It truly wouldn\u2019t be a Marvel film without some chaos.
