Sounds Like No Colossus In X-MEN: APOCALYPSE

Daniel Cudmore seems fairly certain that Colossus will not be in Bryan Singer's X-Men: Apocalypse. However, the underutilized X-Men actor is hoping for a role in Ryan Reynold's Deadpool movie. Is Colossus being recast or is the character simply not in the film?

Perhaps all the original actors from the first X-Men trilogy are being recast after the time-travel machinations of X-Men: Days of Future Past? James Marsden and Famke Janssen have both hinted that they're time as Cyclops and Jean Grey is over and it now appears that Daniel Cudmore's time as Colossus is over too. If the next X-Men film will continue the trend of alternate reality/time-travel and is based on the Age of Apocalypse storyline from Marvel Comics, it will be interesting to see whether Colossus' role in the popular comic book arc is completely written out our reconfigured to fit another character in Singer's vision for the film.

While he apparently has no role in the next X-Men movie, 6'8" actor is still holding out hope for one last X-Men-hurrah in Ryan Reynold's Deadpool movie. If the film is still based on the Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick script that leaked a few years back, there's a good chance that Colossus will indeed show up in the film.


AGE OF APOCALYPSE SYNOPSIS: In a twisted version of the world they knew, the X-Men battle against the eternal mutant Apocalypse as Bishop seeks to repair the timeline. Legion, Xavier's own son, attempts to kill off all of Xavier's enemies; however, when Legion attempts to murder Magneto, Xavier sacrifices his own life to save Magnus. As a result, Magneto casts off his anti-human sentiments and carries on Xavier's dream of peaceful co-existence, thereby founding the X-Men.

They never give his character much to do but I like him. Disappointed he won't be in Apocalypse.

Kind of a no brained considering it takes place in the 80s, but he's a really good Colossus.

In really don't want anyone new if they won't be interesting.

If they can only make mystique,wolverine, magneto,professor x and beast interesting than stick with that. I don't want to see characters like colossus and cyclops just taking up space.

Is it Singer, FOX or the FX/CGI folks who hate Colossus so much??

The Colossus episode(s) from X-Men the animated series were great.

It's because of crap like that I'm not watching Apocalypse. I hope he'll at least show up in Deadpool or X-Force.

Well of course not. That would be less screen time for Wolverine, Mystique, and Magneto

He won't be missed in the films. He wqas pretty much useless in the FoX-Men because he's not Wolverine.

Yoooooo, I hate the Xmen franchise just as much as the next Singer hater… But the casting of this dude was great, he makes for a great colossus.. and of course they totally under utilized him in every movie..
x2 - Singer- "Daniel, just carry this TV… Now escort kids down a hallway… what? you want to help wolverine fight.. no no no, thats too much."
x3 - Ratner- "Daniel, just throw Wolverine… Now just stand in the back… What!? You want more screen time? Shut your mouth Daniel and stand in the back!"
X-DOFP - Singer- "Daniel, you wrestle this futuristic robot and then he rips you in half.. What?! You want to fight more? Nope, we need more screen time for Magneto dialogue…"
X-Apoc - Singer- "Daniel you want the role for Colossus again? Get on your knees… Wait, where are you going!?! Do you want to be in the movie or not!?"

More rape of a celebrated X-Men character who isn't Xavier, Magneto, or Mystique.

only wastes screen time anyway... i felt like they finally got the X MEN right in DOFP... it was a team effort and EVERYONE had their role fit it perfectly. i want more of that. bring in the x men that are part of a team and they work together.

I feel like they can fit all his screen time from all his scenes into one minute. Wanted more, got less.

Colossus was in the amazing leaked Deadpool script. If they go through with that team-up scene they should keep Cudmore on.

Agreed. I love their films.

Singer obviously needs to reserve screen time for his interpretation of Scarlet Witch, Wendy Lehnsherr.

did you guys really expect him to appear when the movie is set in the 80s? smh.

Why not? Its not like Fox gives a crap about continuity anyway. White Queen didn't exist in multiple decades from Wolverine Origins to First Class.

As much as I love these movies, the characters not named Wolverine, Xavier, Mystique, and Magneto, are so underutilized. A Colossus/Juggernaut fight in X3 could have been badass.

the adult x-men are not being recasted, Fox is just adding their young version. Thats not an actual recast.

a young Jean appeared in The last Stand, while adult Jean appeared too, so this is exactly the same. Fox can make movies in the past, and other movies in present timeline, one dont eliminate the other option.

And if Deadpool, Wolverine 3 and X-Force will all be set in present, the door is more than open for more movies for the original actors

movie Colossus was born in 1985, to tie in with Chernobyl

Since he is not returning as Colossus. he should be Shazam.!!

@DrDoom "Granted, I bet that for most people, their favourite X-Men character was done a disservice in the Fox films."

Truth.

I did not mind Kitsch as Gambit, but hated the character and that movie.


And I like C-Tates, but I'm not optimistic about him as Gambit

Mark Julian, the title should mention his possible Deadpool cameo, doncha think? I mean a title that only negates his appearance in Apocalypse isn't even real news.

@Gandressmex

Yes.. I think he would fit Shazam… Marvel vs DC war would have a shit storm!

Gigacrusher45 - 12/8/2014, 2:32 PM
I didn't think any of the original X-men were going to be in this movie as it only takes place in First Class time period. But he should def be in Deadpool and given a bigger role.
JamesMan
JamesMan - 12/8/2014, 2:33 PM
Why would he come back? Why would they cast the older actor to play a character who'd be a kid or even a baby. Seems like a no shit moment.

And people are still complaining.
