I am not happy about Alan not returning as Nightcrawler. Pretty much everybody who saw the second movie *Loved* Nightcrawler. I heard two reasons as to why he is not returning: first is Alan Cumming didn't want to return and second is that Fox didn't want Nightcrawler back as there are already too many blue characters and it would get confusing? If it was Alan's decision to not return I'm going to have to say that Alan has lost his mind and needs to be locked away. After agreeing to be in *shudders* Son of the Mask and then deciding to not be in X-3... does not look good for his future. I also heard If it was Fox's fault to not pick up Nightcrawler again because there are already too many blue characters, they're going to have to suffer the smaller audience numbers for X-3 and hopefully that slap in the face will wake them up and see the error of their ways... emphasis on the word "hopefully".
