The Internet has been a live-wire of disgust ever since Matthew Vaughn left the X-Men 3 director’s chair and Brett Ratner took over helming duties.
Ratner has never really shown much in the way of directing ability considering he hasn’t exactly worked with material that took more than a camera and a couple of actors, such as the Rush Hour films, and then with last year’s bust After the Sunset. Nevertheless, Ratner is in, but guess who is not… the man in blue.
Alan Cumming provided a shocking appearance as Nightcrawler in X2 as his attack on the White House was certainly one hell of a way to kick off the second film. So how does his character get repaid? By not getting picked up for the third film!
