Alan Cumming has revealed that he is hopeful that an X-Men sequel is in development.
The British actor is optimistic that he could return to the superhero franchise, according to WENN.
The star featured as teleporting mutant Nightcrawler in second instalment X-2: X-Men United in 2003.
He was contracted to return for the third film, 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand, but did not make it on to the final cast list.
However, he said that he would like to play the character again, saying: "Nobody's said anything about it, but it might be quite fun to go back.
"I was supposed to do it again and they didn't pick up my option for a third one. It was sort of ‘superhero interruptus’."
