<p>Alan Cumming seems happy he returned to his standout X-Men character for a new superhero movie, even if the first time around wasn't exactly ideal.</p>
<p>The celebrated performer, 60, recently opened up to People about his time working on Marvel's upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday, set to release next year. He had nothing but positive things to say about the experience.</p>
<p>"I just came back. It was amazing. It was actually really… in a sort of ooey, gooey way, it was really healing and really nice to go back to something that it was a terrible experience when I did it the first time," he said in a recent interview published Sunday, Aug. 17. "A great film, great film. I love the film."</p>
<p>Earlier this year, Marvel announced the Spy Kids star as one of the actors reprising their roles — Cumming's being the X-Men franchise's Nightcrawler — in the forthcoming Avengers film.</p>
<p>Cumming noted to People that he was "miserable" making X2 (2003), which he notes was "awful for a variety of reasons that I have talked about at length."</p>
<p>The actor previously credited having to spend up to five hours in the makeup chair and difficulties with director Bryan Singer, which he touched on in his memoir, Baggage: Tales from a Fully Packed Life, as reasons why he disliked working on the X-Men sequel.</p>
<p>Doomsday, however, has been a positive experience so far for the Emmy-winning host of The Traitors, as People reports.</p>
<p>"It was actually really great to go back," Cumming told the outlet. "And especially, 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. So I squashed them all together, and got a green screen and various things and little scenes of people here and there. But it was pretty stealthy."</p>
