from article said:He also confirmed that Alan Cumming will not reprise his role as Nightcrawler, and that the character has been completely dropped from X3. The reason, said Arad, is that Nightcrawler didn't serve the story and, with so many other characters in the film, he had to go.

Maybe it’s just me but I think Cummings did such a wonderful job as Nightcrawler that I would rather they shelve the character than have someone else try to follow up.Taelorn76 said:Nightcrawler need not be shelved, they could get another actor. From what I heard and read Mr. Cummings did not want to do the part because the costume/make up time was to prolonged and complicated. I am sure there were other reasons as well.
