Daniel Cudmore WILL NOT Be Reprising Colossus In DEADPOOL; Role Set To Be Recast

Remember last week, when it was reported that Colossus would appear in 2016's Deadpool and then it was widely speculated that Daniel Cudmore would be reprising the role? Well, it looks like some of that may have been a tad premature. Come check it out!

Last week, alongside the announcement that Gina Carano (Fast and Furious 6) would be joining Ryan Reynolds (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) in Fox's Deadpool, it was revealed that Colossus would also be featuring in the 2016 film, with rumors circulating that Daniel Cudmore, who has played Peter Rasputin a.k.a. Colossus in three X-Men films, including last year's blockbuster X-Men: Days of Future Past, would be reprising the role for the highly ancipated film.

However, it seems as though, those rumors may have been unfounded as Cudmore himself has revealed via Twitter that Fox has decided to go in a different direction and that he will not be returning to the role. He has also seemingly said farewell to the part which began his film career in 2003's X2. Check out his tweets below:



Farewell, Daniel Cudmore. We'll always have this scene.

Now, with Cudmore saying goodbye, it seems as though we can officially begin speculation as to who the new Colossus should be. All I know is, I hope whomever Fox eventually decides on will be up to the tall task of going head-to-head with Reynolds' fast-talking, wise-cracking Merc with a Mouth. 

Who do you guys have in mind? Sound off with your suggestions below!

we can't blame him if he didnt want to reprise his version of colossus.

Why use the character if they don't plan on Daniel Cudmore reprising his role?

Then why bother clicking Doom? Why continue to waste your time on a franchise you continue to say wastes your time.
Just disappear.
Your life must have such little meaning to you.

Despite Collossus never being too prominent in the X-Films, I shed a tear as they pulled him apart in DoFP.

I'm aware the internet is free to be the internet and bitch about everything, but you don't put half as much effort in to things you seem to enjoy.

Nerds and geeks picking on nerds and geeks about their quality of superhero film choice.
What have we become?

Well there goes my standing up for him being a good Colossus.. Guess he didn't like the way Fox treats Colossus.


and yes @MrCBM56 .. he would make for a good Shazam..

They have done Colossus such an injustice. He has had what about 5 lines in the 3 movies he's been in. I hope they go more in depth with the character this time around.

Booooo, why not? He deserves a better go at the role.

Armie Hammer. He has the Russian accent down

Hopefully this means that Colossus has a bigger role. To be fair though I haven't seen Cudomore in much anyway.

Maybe he'll actually have a Russian accent this time around.

I would actually like him to be a Russian this time. and named Piotr

Despite his dialogue over the past 12 years not even amounting to a run-on sentence, I'll miss him.

Whoever they get hopefully they have the accent. I always look for the little things. Like I wish black widow her accent

So long Daniel, no one could possibly be better at contributing absolutely nothing than you.

Damn. I was hoping he'd come back. In the leaked script, Colossus has some awesome scenes -- including the massive battle at the end.
