Andre Tricoteux Confirmed To Be Playing Colossus In DEADPOOL
Following on from Ryan Reynolds’ announcement that Deadpool has wrapped production, another cast member has taken to Twitter to praise Seventh Son’s Andre Tricoteux, confirming the speculation that he will be playing Colossus in the film.
After making small appearences in previous X-films X2, The Last Stand and Days of Future Past, the character of Piotr Rasputin, aka Colossus, is stepping up to a bigger role in next year’s Deadpool. The announcement that Daniel Cudmore would not reprise his role came as a surprise to some, and since then we’ve heard very little in the way of official casting. Once Upon A Time and Seventh Son actor Andre Tricoteux was spotted in a grey motion capture suit (seen above) on the set of the Tim Miller-helmed movie, though it was never confirmed that it was Colossus he was portraying. However, Gina Carano (who plays Angel Dust in the film) has revealed that Tricoteux is indeed playing the fan-favourite mutie. The 6' 10" actor is very obviously providing the base for motion capture, but whether or not he will voice the character too remains to be seen. Deadpool opens on February 12th, 2016.
