Alan Cumming Goes Viral For Avengers: Doomsday Quotes

Marvel hasn't been having the smoothest run with its latest phases. Given that Jonathan Majors was set to lead the new era, only to be dropped after his assault conviction, one can understand why there might be trepidation about the upcoming mega-blockbuster Avengers: Doomsday. Robert Downey Jr. is set to play Victor Von Doom in a deal likely as valuable as the GDP of a small nation, but he's not the only one returning to the superhero world. Alan Cumming will be reprising his role as Nightcrawler, who he last played in the X-Men sequel X2. All of this to say that Alan's recent comments to Gold Derby about his on-set experience are raising some eyebrows. Having recently wrapped, he told the publication, "I did the entire film in isolation. Lots of green screen, face replacement. They even gave characters fake names." "I don't know who I was acting with half the time,' he added. 'I broke the internet by mentioning something once, but honestly, I might have got it wrong.' The quotes quickly made the rounds, with some passing judgement on the likely result of such isolation and secret-keeping: Some brought up Ian McKellen, who previously admitted that he cried on the set of The Hobbit due to the use of green screen. 'In order to shoot the dwarves and a large Gandalf, we couldn't be in the same set. All I had for company was 13 photographs of the dwarves on top of stands with little lights – whoever's talking flashes up,' he said. 'I cried, actually. I cried. Then I said out loud, 'This is not why I became an actor.'" Incidentally, Ian will also be reprising his X-Men role in Avengers: Doomsday. It is worth noting that Alan also recently gave an interview to People in which he said of the experience, "I just came back. It was amazing. It was actually really... in a sort of ooey, gooey way, it was really healing and really nice to go back to something that it was a terrible experience when I did it the first time...A great film, great film. I love the film." He also suggested that his schedule on The Traitors was the reason for his isolation, saying, "I got it done really quickly because I couldn't go, because of The Traitors, when most of my scenes were being I squashed them all together, and got a green screen and various things and little scenes of people here and there. But it was pretty stealthy." What do you make of the whole thing? LMK in the comments! Do you love all things TV and movies?

Bride and Groom Marry on Paddleboards as 80 Guests Watch from Kayaks in Lake Wedding (Exclusive)

"Honestly, it couldn't have turned out better — especially since no one toppled into the water!" bride Kirby Jay tells PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW A bride and groom had a floating wedding at Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Texas, on Oct. 26, 2024 The couple tied the knot on paddleboards while most guests watched the ceremony from kayaks "Honestly, it couldn't have turned out better — especially since no one toppled into the water!" the bride tells PEOPLE One bride and groom were positively floating on their wedding day — literally! On Oct. 26, 2024, Kirby Jay and Corey Isaacks wed while balancing on paddleboards in the middle of Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Texas. More than half of the couple's 150 wedding guests joined them on the lake, with about 80 guests riding in kayaks and the remaining watching the ceremony seated on Rowing Dock. "Honestly, it couldn't have turned out better — especially since no one toppled into the water!" Jay tells PEOPLE. The couple's wedding photographer, Caitlin Warner of Caitlin Rose Photography, tells PEOPLE that Jay made her grand entrance paddling across the lake alongside her parents on their own paddleboards. Her mother also brought the couple's beloved dog, PJ, who was "so well-behaved" the entire time. Jay met Isaacks and their officiant atop an inflatable water platform, where they said "I do" surrounded by a colorful congregation of kayaks. "The ceremony ended with a very well-balanced first kiss and eco-friendly confetti from the guests on kayaks," Warner says, with the wedding videographers, husband and wife duo David and Cayla Cummings of Carhart Photography, noting that the confetti poppers made for a "wonderfully energetic conclusion." Jay wore a white swimsuit and a fishnet tulle skirt for the ceremony, and would later change into her something blue, an elegant light blue gown, at her reception at Two Wishes Ranch. Isaacks opted for a light gray quarter-zip long-sleeve shirt over black shorts for the ceremony, and a classic black tuxedo at the reception. "Forgoing a traditional gift registry, the couple invited guests to donate to their favorite local animal shelters," Warner adds. Warner, David and Cayla note that they've never photographed or filmed a celebration like this before in all their years of wedding experience, but that it was a fun challenge. "This was a new creative challenge that was a joy to be part of with our vendor friends," David and Cayla say. "We were originally asked to film completely via drone, but we were able to create a mix of drone footage and some traditional footage to tell the whole story." Warner needed a total of three photographers on her team. "I photographed the ceremony from the dock on digital and film cameras while also capturing aerial drone shots," she says. "Another photographer focused on zoom and wide shots. We also had one photographer in a kayak capturing the views from a guest perspective on the water! No cameras were dropped in the process! Everyone was on board to capture this unique ceremony in the best way possible." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The bride and groom's "unconventional" wedding idea surfaced long before the couple got engaged, though it was more about getting married on the lake than it was about the paddleboards. "We were at a restaurant overlooking another stretch of the Colorado River, and we just started talking about our future wedding and how cool it would be to get married out there," Jay remembers. She continues: "Town Lake (Lady Bird Lake) has always been a special place for us. When we first started dating, Corey lived in an apartment right on the path that goes all the way around the lake, and we spent most of our free time training for marathons." Although their "original vision was much more elaborate," including having the kayaks form a true aisle and PJ swimming down as the ring bearer, the couple's wedding still came out perfectly.
