stereotypical caravan. Alan Cumming portrays Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler in the film X2 (2003). Kurt is depicted as a German, former circus performer, who was the victim of mind control by the film's villain. After being freed, he joins the X-Men. The role of Kurt Wagner was later recast with Kodi Smit-McPhee, who portrayed a younger Kurt in X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) and Dark Phoenix (2019). When first introduced in X-Men: Apocalypse, he is depicted as wearing Romani-esque clothing (upon coming to America, he gets different clothes), and a victim of an underground arena (which forces captured mutants to fight each other to the death). Kurt is rescued by Mystique (unlike in the comics, not indicated to be his biological mother), and joins the X-Men. Daniel Cudmore portrays Colossus in the films X2 (2003), X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), and X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014). Colossus is a minor character in the films (even after becoming a member of the X-Men), and no backstory is provided for the character.

She did not care what he was, all Nadya saw was a ticket out for herself (from what is never expanded upon). Nadya became mortally wounded, after one of Carrigan's deals went south (and she had attempted to escape). Nadya agreed to carry the child of Mephistopheles, in return for him saving her life. The film revolves around Johnny Blaze (Ghost Rider) attempting to protect Danny and Nadya from Mephistopheles. After Johnny's had his powers taken away from him, Danny uses his own powers to turn Johnny back into Ghost Rider. While Nadya and Danny are on the run from Carrigan (who is working for Mephistopheles), Nadya finds herself approached by a businessman (who removes a wedding ring). The businessman asks if she is Roma, and notes that he has heard things about Roma women (implied to be of a sexual nature). However,
