Actor Alan Cumming is relieved Bryan Singer isn't on board to direct the second sequel in the X-Men series - because he hated working with him on X2.

The Scottish star played KURT WAGNER/NIGHTCRAWLER in the last film and has already signed up to reprise his role in X-MEN 3, which is due to begin filming in June (05).

And Cumming is looking forward to working on the sequel without Singer, who made the first two films, making his life a misery.

He snipes, "I'm not (disappointed) and I can't deny it I think he's really talented, and I'm really proud of the film - I think it's a great film - but I didn't enjoy working with him on it."
