Deadpool is happening and casting has begun. Ryan Reynolds will be Wade Wilson aka Deadpool, and is reprising his role from way back when from X-Men Origins: Wolverine from 2009. The speculation of if Daniel Cudmore will reprise his role of Colossus in the new movie, has been all a buzz on twitter, with the actor tweeting no comment, until today.
The devastating news (well I think it’s devastating) is that Dan will not be Colossus in the upcoming movie as tweeted by the man himself.
Thanks everyone for all the support for me 2 reprise the role of #Colossus in #Deadpool but unfortunately it won’t be happening for me con’t

I am not sure who has been cast as of now. But for me it’s hard to see anyone else in this role.
I first laid eyes on Dan as Colossus back in X2, and was thrilled when he kept reprising his role in the amazing series.
I want to wish luck to him for his future endeavors and whomever has been or will be cast in this role, you have some pretty big shoes to fill!
