Digital Spy: No Cumming in 'X-Men 3'

This is a pity.
Alan Cumming is a grreat actor, even good in Son of Mask, which is a dire film which makes me squint my eyes because of the brightness of the colours, but he was good as Night Stalker.
I suppose it was the 3 hours in make up each time.
Oh all the hassle, first Director, now Actors. Will this film ever be done?
