Although superhero serials and TV shows had been around for decades prior, Richard Donner’s 1978 version of Superman marked the first major, studio-funded DC feature film in Hollywood. The film’s commercial and critical success led to Richard Lester’s acclaimed follow-up, Superman II, solidifying the late great Christopher Reeve as a cinematic symbol of truth, justice, and hope. Over 25 years later, the events of the ridiculous follow-ups, Superman III and Superman IV: The Quest For Peace, were bypassed by Bryan Singer to accommodate Superman Returns, arguably ranking among the finest cinematic showcases for Clark Kent to prove his protective might. Sure, the movie isn’t as fun-filled or enjoyable as a children’s superhero outing should be, but, as far as restoring the luster into Superman’s cape and proving the comic book hero’s box office viability, Superman Returns did its job. At least, that’s how most critics and general moviegoers felt.

There have been many complex, hilarious, and violent characters in the X-Men movie franchise over the years, and some rank higher than the rest. Fox's time with the X-Men has ended. During the two decades of Fox X-Men movies, the studio managed to bring a decent chunk of characters from Marvel Comics to live-action. That was aided by the timeline of the X-Men movies. Hugh Jackman and the original X-Men cast led a trilogy before a new generation took over in the younger X-Men movie timeline.

The mainline X-Men movies were not the only ones to be released, as a number of spinoffs also added new characters to the franchise. Based on the history of the X-Men movie franchise, there are quite a few interesting characters who sit among the best in the live-action movies. That also includes Deadpool & Wolverine, the first MCU mutant movie that will lead to future Marvel entries,...

101 Films International, in collaboration with Trinity Creative Partnership, has announced the upcoming release of their festive drama, ‘A Home for the Holidays.’ The movie will be available on Digital and VOD platforms from November 7th, 2023.

Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, this family holiday drama promises to tug at the heartstrings of its audience. Starring the talented Shannon Elizabeth, known for her roles in ‘American Pie’ and ‘Scary Movie,’ alongside Daniel Cudmore, a recognizable face from ‘X-Men’ and ‘Twilight,’ the film promises a blend of romance and drama that’s perfect for the festive season.

The story revolves around Ella, a local hardware store owner who, after years of efforts, manages to acquire an old abandoned mansion in a quaint Colorado town. Her joy is short-lived, as the heir of the mansion’s original owner comes knocking, intending to take back what was once his.

Vindicta is a horror-thriller film centered around a rookie paramedic in a town plagued by riots and a sadistic serial killer. The movie blends social commentary on homelessness in America with slasher thrills, aiming to be both insightful and bloody. The director, Sean McNamara, discusses the development of the movie, including the inspiration behind the villain's look and the challenges of filming on a budget.

A town in flames becomes terrorized by a powerful killer in Vindicta. The horror-thriller centers on a rookie paramedic whose first days in a city plagued by riots becomes all the more terrifying when a sadistic serial killer begins targeting a select group of people, leading her to learn of a dark secret with connections to her own family.

Elena Kampouris leads the ensemble Vindicta cast alongside Michasa Armstrong, Jaime M. Callica, Karolina Cubitt, Daniel Cudmore, Robin Atkin Downes, Travis Nelson, Sean Astin, and Jeremy Piven.

A few weeks ago, Variety reported that Paramount’s Republic Pictures had acquired the distribution rights to the serial killer horror thriller Vindicta and were planning to release the film sometime in October. Now a trailer for the film has arrived online (you can watch it in the embed above), and along with the trailer comes details on Paramount Global Content Distribution’s release plans: Vindicta will be reaching select theatres and will be available to buy on digital as of October 6th.

Starring Elena Kampouris of the most recent Children of the Corn movie, Sean Astin (The Goonies), and Jeremy Piven (Judgment Night), Vindicta has the following synopsis: When a city is terrorized by a sadistic serial killer, a seasoned detective and a newly recruited paramedic are forced into a deadly game of vengeance, only to discover the key to stopping the bloodshed lies in unlocking the truth of their own haunted pasts.

Sean McNamara has racked up a ton of directing credits over the last thirty years, including Casper: A Spirited Beginning, 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain, Casper Meets Wendy, The Even Stevens Movie, Bratz, The Suite Life Movie, Soul Surfer, Spare Parts, Cody the Robosapien, Cats & Dogs 3: Paws Unite, On a Wing and a Prayer, a couple Sister Swap movies, Aliens Ate My Homework, Aliens Stole My Body, and multiple Baby Geniuses movies. His latest is a serial killer horror thriller called Vindicta, and Variety reports that Paramount’s Republic Pictures has acquired the distribution rights. They’re planning to release the film sometime in October.

The Halo games have been a staple in the gaming industry since its debut in 2001 as “Halo: Combat Evolved.” Developed by Bungie and published by Microsoft, the game quickly gained a massive following and spawned numerous sequels and spin-offs.

The game’s success was so great that it soon made its way to the big screen with adaptations from the origin story of the game such as “Halo: Nightfall,” “Halo: Forward Unto Dawn,” and most recently, the upcoming Paramount+ series, “Halo.” The compelling storylines and outstanding performances from actors in these on-screen adaptations have received critical acclaim.

The X-Men movies brought some of Marvel’s most powerful mutants from the comic book pages to the screen. For more than 20 years, the X-Men had their own movie franchise at Fox. Starting with X-Men (2000), Marvel’s mutants were at the center of 13 films. Fox's X-Men movie universe includes seven actual X-Men movies, three Wolverine films, two Deadpool movies, and The new Mutants.

For this list, only what was shown in the movies will be considered. The X-Men comics have their own power levels and ranking system, yet those were never properly translated to the big screen. For example, neither Storm nor Emma Frost was ever as powerful in the films as they are in the comics. With that established, here are the 10 most powerful mutants in X-Men movies.

There are two versions of Colossus in Fox’s X-Men movies. The first one, played by Daniel Cudmore, was...

A Canadian actor and stuntman, Daniel Cudmore is best known for his roles as Colossus in the X-Men films and as Felix in The Twilight Saga franchise. With his physical build and domineering height, Cudmore often finds himself typecast in roles that focus on his physicality.

Regardless, Cudmore has managed to make an impressive career for himself by guest-starring in fan-favorite TV shows and successful film franchises. Cudmore's credits range from superhero movies and TV shows to beloved sci-fi series and even a guest role in an ABC sitcom. He may not be the biggest star in Hollywood, but Cudmore has maintained a strong career, thanks to an impressive resume.

A brand new synopsis for The New Mutants has made its way online. We recently got a good look at the upcoming X-Men spin-off during Comic-Con@Home, with the opening scene and a new trailer revealed. Now, Disney's 20th Century Studios has revealed a very thorough synopsis that confirms a major link between Anya Taylor-Joy's character Magik, and a famous Mutant who has appeared on-screen multiple times.

The synopsis, which is quite detailed and rather lengthy, recently appeared on the movie's official website. It largely focuses on setting up the universe of director Josh Boone's horror-themed X-Men spin-off. But it also includes one important confirmation, in that, Magik is indeed related to Colossus. Which also directly ties The New Mutants into the world of Deadpool. The synopsis reads as follows.

"In this terrifying, action-fueled film based on the Marvel comic series, five young people who demonstrate special powers...

The New Mutants has taken so long in coming out that you can hardly call it new anymore, seeing as it was shot in 2017, but at long last it’s on the verge of arriving. Last weekend, 20th Century Studios revealed a thrilling trailer and the opening minutes of the superhero flick that’ll take things in more of a psychological horror direction. Now, this extended synopsis has been released which clarifies more about the plot, as well as confirming a major X-Men connection.

Probably the most notable member of the film’s teen mutant team is Illyana Rasputin Aka Magik, as played by Anya Taylor-Joy. Comic fans will know that Illyana is the younger sister of Peter Rasputin Aka Colossus. We weren’t sure if The New Mutants was going to make this link clear or not, but the fact that it’s discussed in this synopsis seems to...

The Comic-Con@Home panel for Marvel's Helstrom was held today. Showrunner Paul Zbyszewski, along with cast members Tom Austen, Sydney Lemmon, Elizabeth Marvel, Robert Wisdom, Ariana Guerra, June Carryl, and Alain Uy, all showed up for this afternoon's panel moderated by Laura Prudom. They provided a pretty intense sneak-peek at the upcoming Hulu series and talked about bringing the terror-filled comic to life as the streaming platform's next horror series.

Marvel's Helstrom follows the son and daughter of a mysterious and powerful serial killer. Daimon (Tom Austen) and Ana Helstrom (Sydney Lemmon) have a complicated dynamic, as they track down the worst of humanity - each with their own attitude and skills. Even with our teases from the panel today, the show is still very much a mystery, though it looks very promising. The Marvel Studios series is one of the last to appear outside of the Disney+ streaming service.

The Bravermans are reuniting! The Atx Television Festival, taking place June 4-7 in Austin, Texas, will host a Parenthood script reading and panel discussion.

Scheduled to attend are creator Jason Katims, writer/executive producer David Hudgins, and stars Peter Krause, Lauren Graham, Monica Potter, Erika Christensen, Mae Whitman and Craig T. Nelson. More participants will be announced at a later date.

Stan Lee passed away in mid-November of last year, but his legacy lives on up on the big screen with every new Marvel movie released. Plus, let's not forget the man's killer cameos which have continued posthumously in films such as Captain Marvel and Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. But it looks like Lee will not have a cameo in director Simon Kinberg's upcoming X-men movie Dark Phoenix. That said, Kinberg did recently let us all know that there will be a tribute to Lee (and hopefully Jack Kirby as well) in the film.

Simon Kinberg specifically says this about Stan Lee.

"We don't have a cameo. I'd rather say that than then keep it mysterious, out of respect for Stan. We do have some tribute to him, and it's something that obviously we weren't thinking about when we were making the movie because he was still very much alive.

One episode was provided prior to broadcast.

Odd as it may sound, The Flash may very well now be the flagship show in the Arrowverse. When you think about it, the series’ ascension to that spot makes sense, especially when you factor in how it’s consistently The CW’s top rated show. Plus, it often charts new course for the DC TV landscape as a whole, which I’ll discuss in just a bit.

In the meantime, though, I’m going to shower the next leg in the Scarlet Speedster’s journey with much praise after being left jaded by what I thought was a parabolic fourth season. Those familiar with this site may remember how I didn’t exactly care for how our most recent trips to Central City became downright farcical at times, whereas the premiere I’ve just had the honor of screening found the proper balance achieved in earlier seasons.

As The Flash season 4 finale teased, this next run will deal with Barry Allen and Iris West coming to terms with the fact that their daughter from the future – Nora Aka Xs (Jessica Parker Kennedy) – has arrived in the present. It won’t just be weird family dynamics that cause problems in the new season, though, as Nora’s time traveling looks to have dire consequences on the timeline, too. Like father like daughter.

The promo you’ll see above teases that Xs’s jaunt back in time changes events so that Team Flash don’t defeat the latest metahuman of the week, Gridlock (X-Men‘s Daniel Cudmore), on their first attempt. According to some ominous words from Captain Singh, that means Central City could become “a war zone.” But can the Scarlet Speedster and his daughter team up and save it? We’re going to go out on a...

The Flash season 5 is going to see a major shake-up to the status quo as the Scarlet Speedster and his wife are going to have to come to terms with the fact that Jessica Parker-Kennedy’s mystery girl is actually their daughter, Nora West-Allen, who’s returned from the future. Still, even with unexpected time-traveling family issues to deal with, one thing will still be the same in Central City – there’ll still be a criminal metahuman on the loose each and every week.

In the season premiere, suitably titled “Nora,” the latest super-powered crook causing havoc on Barry Allen’s home turf is Gridlock. And now, we have our first look at the villain in action, thanks to TV Line. If you’re wondering who’s behind that funky mask, that’d be Daniel Cudmore, who previously played Peter Rasputin/Colossus in a bunch of X-Men movies.

First Look...

As it’s been going for almost 20 years now, the X-Men franchise has changed its entire cast over the years. Nowadays, major roles like Professor X, Magneto and Mystique are played by James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence, and the last time we saw the original cast all together was 2014’s time-traveling adventure X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Director Bryan Singer has now given us a throwback to filming on that movie by sharing an old group photo. The image features the assembled cast of the future-set scenes of Days of Future Past in what Singer described as “our mini theater.” You can see that everyone’s still wearing their costumes, too, and from top to bottom we have Daniel Cudmore (Colossus), Booboo Stewart (Warpath), Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Fan Bingbing (Blink), Shawn Ashmore (Iceman), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Halle Berry (Storm), Ellen Page (Kitty Pryde), Omar Sy (Bishop), Adan Canto (Sunspot) and,...

Filming on X-Men: Dark Phoenix is currently underway, but one of the superhero film’s characters is still shrouded in mystery.

Colossus fans were not terribly pleased with the character’s depiction in X-Men 2 and 3, but that all changed when the metal mutant powerhouse showed up as a supporting player in Deadpool. Replacing Daniel Cudmore in the part, Stefan Kapicic acted out Colossus’ role via motion capture, but he still managed to portray a much more comic faithful interpretation of Peter Rasputin.

Though Colossus has already been confirmed for Deadpool 2, Kapicic would actually like to bring his take on the Russian mutant to the small screen at some point, too. During an interview with ComicBook.com, the actor declared his love for FX’s mind-bending TV series, Legion:

So, on The Flash, there have been a couple of theories of the true identity of Savitar, and the top two candidates are Eddie Thawne or Wally west. The only time we have seen Savitar without armor on was from behind, and he was played by Daniel Cudmore (the actor that played Colossus in the X-Men movies, not the Deadpool voice-over). However, this means nothing, as we have already seen the ability for a speedster to change his appearance using future tech. Being trapped in the speedforce allows one to travel through time and see visions of everything at once.

I do not think it is Wally West, but I could see it happening after Wally's uniform was torn off at the end of yesterdays episode. However there are some quotes and another piece of evidence that actually now make me believe he is Eddie Thawne, the hero of Season...

Tagline: "There's no escape from this." A few details were announced for Tim J. Brown's Devil in the Dark, earlier this month. Now, a full length trailer is available for this indie horror film. The clip shows two brothers and something in the woods. The film is slated for a March 7th, 2017 Video-on-demand release. And, Devil in the Dark stars: Robin Dunne (Sanctuary), Dan Payne (Star Trek Beyond), Daniel Cudmore, and Briana Buckmaster. Shot in British Columbia, the full trailer for the film is available here. The film's story focuses on the brothers and a supernatural presence. They must put aside their petty grievances as they struggle to survive in a hostile environment. The woods come alive, at night. And, it is in these haunted woods that the two brothers will have to look closely at their fraternal bond. As well, several photos, from the film, have been released.

Something sinister lurks within the shadows of the woods in the official trailer for Devil in the Dark, coming out this March from Momentum Pictures.

"When estranged brothers Adam and Clint attempt to reconnect over a week-long hunting trip in remote British Columbia, they find the tables turned by a mysterious presence lurking in the forest. Convinced that they are now besieged by a supernatural presence, the siblings begrudgingly agree on only one thing: they will have to put aside their differences and work together if they plan on making it out these dark woods alive."

Directed by Tim J. Brown (The Cradle), Devil in the Dark stars Robin Dunne (Syfy's Sanctuary), Dan Payne (Star Trek Beyond), Daniel Cudmore (X-Men: Days of Future Past), and Briana Buckmaster (The CW's Supernatural).

The film stars: Robin Dunne (Sanctuary), Dan Payne (Star Trek: Beyond), Daniel Cudmore and Briana Buckmaster. In the story, brothers Adam and Clint discover a supernatural power, on a long distance hunting trip. Finally, the film's official artwork is here, with more details to follow. The film's artwork looks very Danny Darko-esque. A large antlered entity looms over a small child, with the forest blanketed in fog.

Paramount's Teenage Mutnant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows had no trouble topping the box office last weekend with $35.2 million, Although, that total was less than half of what 2014's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles opened with in 2014, when it debuted to the tune of $65.5 million. Tmnt 2's reign will most likely end early, going up against three newcomers, Universal's Warcraft, Lionsgate's Now You See Me 2 and Warner Bros.' The Conjuring 2. If our projections are correct, then Warcraft should have no trouble coming out on top this weekend.

While exact theater counts have not been given yet, Box Office Mojo reports that Warcraft is expected to debut in an estimated 3,400 theaters, while The Conjuring 2 is expected to open in approximately 3,100 theaters and Now You See Me 2 is set to debut in 3,000 theaters. Of these three new releases, only The Conjuring 2 is a hit with the critics,...

Though metal mutant, Colossus, had appeared in previous X-Men movies, fans were not that pleased with the interpretation of the character (as played by Daniel Cudmore) and hoped to see a more comic-accurate take in Tim Miller’s Deadpool.

Thankfully, that’s exactly what they got, as the all-cgi character looked and sounded a lot more like he should have, and almost stole the show from Wade Wilson.

Now, artist Alexander Lozano has posted some early Colossus concept designs to his Facebook page, and it turns out the titanium tough guy was going to look quite a bit different at one point. The hood is probably the most radical departure from his final look, and Lozano explains the logic behind that below:

Earlier this year, Nickelodeon fans lost their minds when the network announced plans for Legends of The Hidden Temple: The Movie, based on the iconic 90s game show. Now, it has been announced that a key figure in the original series is returning! Yes, Kirk Fogg will be back, and plays a very substantial role in the story.

Legends of The Hidden Temple: The Movie will be an action-adventure inspired by the series of the same name. On the 90s show, Kirk Fogg served as the host and guide for the contestants. His new role in the movie will pay direct homage to his former duties.

Kirk Fogg joins a previously announced cast that also includes Isabela Moner, former X-Men star Daniel Cudmore, Jet Jurgensmeyer, Colin Critchley and Ioan Sebastian Tirlui. This all-new movie is set to hit Nickelodeon in fall 2016. Though, an official premiere date has not been announced.

Deadpool is currently in theaters, enjoying its second weekend of release. And it will likely be number one at the box office yet again. One of the superhero adventure's most popular characters is Colossus, who originally appeared in the X-Men movies. Wired has a new VFX video break down, which shows just how this metal monstrosity was rebooted for the big screen.

Serbian&#160actor Stefan Kapicic is the man credited for playing Colossus. But as it turns out, it took four other actors to fully create this unique Marvel mutant. In the video embedded below, we learn that Greg Lasalle of VFX company&#160Digital Domain was one of the men who helped establish Colossus for this 20th Century Fox outing. He contributed to the facial models for the superhero born Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin. Stefan Kapicic is responsible for providing the character's voice, and did a portion of the physical motion-capture performance.

As anyone who’s stayed right to the end of the Deadpool movie will know, Cable will be joining up with Ryan Reynolds’ Merc With The Mouth for his already-in-development sequel. Cable could be played by anyone from Mel Gibson to Keira Knightly (she does have great range), according to Deadpool himself.

“But who the heck is this guy?” you might be thinking, or maybe “Should I be excited or worried about this?” Well, I’d wager that you should be very, very hyped to see Cable on the big screen. He’s a hugely dark and mysterious character, and his inclusion will ensure that Deadpool 2 doesn’t retread any of the same ground as its predecessor.

Here are ten reasons Cable will be an awesome addition to the Deadpool franchise…

10. He’s Directly Linked To Iconic X-Men Marvel Comics

One criticism of Deadpool’s...

Although Deadpool wasn’t Piotr Rasputin's, a.k.a. Colossus, first movie appearance, it was unquestionably his most important. Not only did the steel-skinned mutant get to have meaningful dialogue (and with a Russian accent, finally), but he looked the closest he’s ever been to his comic book counterpart. Although Deadpool had a smaller budget compared to most superhero movies, they were able to create a great-looking Colossus, and now there’s a video showing how that was accomplished. In this VFX breakdown from Wired, they go over the steps taken by effects studio Digital Domain to bring Deadpool ’s Colossus to life, and it was quite complicated. While X2: X-Men United, X-Men: The Last Stand, and X-Men: Days of Future Past had Daniel Cudmore playing Colossus, Deadpool’s version of the character took five actors to create. That’s right, ...

Tim Miller.s Deadpool is definitely set within the universe created by the larger X-Men franchise, but it doesn.t exactly pay a ton of attention to continuity. The version of Colossus that.s featured is entirely different than the one played by Daniel Cudmore in X2: X-Men United, X-Men: The Last Stand, and X-Men: Days of Future Past; and despite being played by the same actor (Ryan Reynolds), the Wade Wilson character is entirely different than the one featured in the 1980s-set X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Fans may question this decision, but writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have some pretty solid excuses for it: their desire to fix mistakes of the franchise.s past, and create a film entirely representative of its insane titular lead. I had the pleasure of chatting with Reese and Wernick about all things Deadpool late last week, and it was right at the top...

Imagine, if you will, that all of the movie superheroes represent students in a class. The Marvel heroes represent that kid who has it all. You know who I'm talking about. The most popular kid in school who is also the quarterback of the state-champion football team, has a 4.0 Gpa, dates the hottest cheerleader, and maybe he even volunteers at the hospital to boot. Basically, he's the kid you want to hate because he has it all, and yet you just can't, because he's so awesome. Warner Bros.' DC Comics heroes represent something like the brooding valedictorian, incredibly focused but super-serious, almost to a fault. 20th Century Fox's X-Men franchise, naturally, would represent the class outsider, which brings us to Deadpool. Sure, Deadpool is part of the X-Men franchise, and he's just as much of an outsider as the rest of them, but he's so much more than that.

Update - The t.v. spot seems to be taken down, but fear not! Pimping the new trailer that will drop tomorrow, a teaser celebrating Deadpool’s Trailer Eve has come our way featuring some new footage and a handy round up of the plot. Check it out below. In between opening the presents and gorging on turkey on Christmas Day, a new trailer for the highly anticipated Deadpool will sneak online. Before then, we can make do with a new T.V. spot which gives new footage of the Merc with a Mouth in action, and packs plenty of humour into just thirty seconds. On top of that, we have gotten word of an “eleventh hour” casting replacement with EW revealing that Serbian actor Stefan Kapicic has come on board to lend his voice, and provide partial motion capture, for steel skinned member of the X-Men, Colossus. Kapicic takes...

Earlier today, we learned that a new voice actor had been found for Colossus in Deadpool, and now we actually get to hear him speak for the first time in a brand new TV spot for the highly anticipated movie.

Considering the fact that he was practically a mute when Daniel Cudmore played him during glorified cameo appearances in the X-Men movies, the fact that he finally has a Russian accent should come as a huge relief to fans annoyed at the lack of comic book faithfulness Bryan Singer has shown when it comes to this character over the years.

However, Colossus saying a single line of dialogue is far from the biggest highlight in this first TV spot for Deadpool. We also get a ton of a great new scenes which will presumably be part of the trailer that’s being released on Christmas Day,...

We know that 20th Century Fox's Deadpool has been confirmed as part of the studio's X-Men franchise, but we still haven't gotten any indication on whether or not the Merc With the Mouth will be included in future X-Men movies. The only connection to that franchise is through the mutant Colossus, who we reported last year will be portrayed by Andre Tricoteux. With just a few months left until the February 12, 2016 release date, Entertainment Weekly reports that a last-minute casting change has taken place, with Serbian actor Stefan Kapicic stepping in to play Colossus. We also have a new TV spot where Colossus speaks for the first time, along with two new photos.

Daniel Cudmore portrayed Colossus, a mutant who has the ability to transform his body into an organic steel, in 2003's X2: X-Men United, 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand and last year's X-Men: Days of Future Past. But...

In just a few short months, 20th Century Fox will release the long-awaited Deadpool, which star Ryan Reynolds had been trying to get off the ground for several years. The buzz swirling around this superhero movie is already quite high, after the first trailer debuted at San Diego Comic Con this summer. While it isn't known when we'll see the next footage from this comic book adaptation, Ryan Reynolds sent out a new photo on his verified Twitter account, showing the actor in his full Deadpool costume, trick-or-treating with a group of young X-Men mutants on Halloween. Here's what the actor had to say on his Twitter page yesterday.

"Dear Fox, stop changing the timelines. It's confusing the audience. #xmenassemble #happyhalloween."

The actor's joke about X-Men's timeline comes over a year after the studio released X-Men: Days of Future Past. That movie united the younger stars from 2011's X-Men: First Class...

Things still aren't clear regarding how Tim Miller's "Deadpool" film adaptation will fit into the larger "X-Men" screen universe, though one element within the film that's definitely crossing over is the character of Colossus.

Played by Daniel Cudmore in the previous "X-Men" films, Andre Tricoteux now takes on the part for this film and tells Tech Times his part is more than just a simple cameo:

"I think you're going to get to see more of who Colossus is. I think people will get a better sense of who he is. But I think there's still a lot more to be told about him. Colossus had been around in the comics since the '70s, so I mean, I think you could do your own movie on him."

Asked if he'll have the character's classic accent in the film, he offers:

"I can't give too much away. We kept...

Upcoming movie Deadpool might focus on Ryan Reynolds's title character, but it looks like fans will also get to know Russian mutant Piotr Rasputin - aka Colossus - a little better too.

According to actor Andre Tricoteux, people will get a better sense of the true character in the film compared to his appearances in previous big-screen X-Men offerings.

Speaking to Tech Times, Tricoteux said: "I think you're going to get to see more of who Colossus is. Like I said, we kept him really traditional to the comic book. So yes, I think people will get a better sense of who he is.

"But I think there's still a lot more to be told about him. Colossus has been around in the comics since the '70s, so I mean, I...

The X-Man known as Colossus has already appeared several times in the X-men film franchise, but those appearances never amounted to much more than a visual effects driven cameo. Not only will Colossus have more of a presence in the upcoming Deadpool, but Andre Tricotuex, who has taken over the role from Daniel Cudmore, told Tech Times that the character will be staying very true to the...

Ever since the first Deadpool trailer debuted at Comic Con this summer, the anticipation has grown at an incredible rate for this superhero adventure, set to hit theaters February 12, 2016. Aside from the Merc With the Mouth, fans will also be introduced to colorful characters such as Ajax (Ed Skrein, Angel Dust (Gina Carano), Weasel (T.J. Miller) and Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand). One of the most intriguing characters, though, is Colossus, with Andre Tricoteux replacing Daniel Cudmore, who portrayed him in X2: X-Men United, X-Men: The Last Stand and last year's X-Men: Days of Future Past. During an interview with Tech Times, Andre Tricoteux revealed that this version of Colossus will be truer to the original comic books than the X-Men movies.

"The Colossus you're going to see in Deadpool is very true to the original character in the comic book. [Director] Tim Miller had a really clear vision, and the...
