DEADPOOL Will Explore 'Colossus' "Deeper" Than The X-MEN Movies Says MoCap Performer
"Nobody from the comic book universe is safe" from Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool, according to Colossus actor Andre Tricoteux, who says the Merc with a Mouth will take some "shocking" r-rated digs at everyone.
The Russian mutant known as Colossus, or Piotr Rasputin, has been portrayed by Daniel Cudmore in three X-Men movies over the course of twelve years, but the character will be played by someone new when he mutates into his metallic form next year in Deadpool. While promoting his recurring role on iZombie, Russian actor and stunt performer Andre Tricoteux talked for the first time about portraying Colossus opposite Ryan Reynolds, how his version of the mutant will compare to the previous, and why people will be shocked by some of the R-rated dialogue, among other things.
Andre Tricoteux continued, now offering praise for Deadpool director Tim Miller. "So like the whole team was just, was really good. I know this is Tim's first big feature, but you know he's a smart guy, and he had a really clear vision of what he wanted to do. And he surrounded himself with really good department heads so, I mean, the crew is fantastic. It was just a blast. It was just a true pleasure to work on this movie."

Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, Deadpool tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life. Directed by Tim Miller, while starring Ryan Reynolds (Wade Wilson), Morena Baccarin (Vanessa Carlysle), T.J. Miller (Weasel), with Ed Skrein, and Brianna Hildebrand (Ellie Phimister), the much-hyped Deadpool is scheduled to open in theaters on February 12, 2016.
