Colossus Possibly Spotted On Deadpool Set

Daniel Cudmore may be out as Colossus in Deadpool, but it looks like the metallic mutant will still be making an appearance.

New photos from the set of Deadpool show a standoff between Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds), Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand), and a large man in a silver motion capture suit. There are also shots of a silver bust prop, the kind used to give actors something to look at when filming a scene with a character who will be rendered digitally in post-production. The images can be seen at Just Jared.

This doesn't exactly confirm that Colossus is in the movie, as they could be motion capturing another character, but going through the trouble of making sure all of the relevant props and suits match Piotr's silvery skin seems to suggest that it is Colossus.

There doesn't seem to be an actor on set to represent Colossus in his human form. Perhaps we'll only see him in his organic metal form in the film, with just CGI and a voice actor to bring him to life, or maybe this is just an action heavy scene and we'll see a powered down Piotr with an on-screen actor elsewhere in the film. If that's the case, it will not be Cudmore, as the X-Men movie vet has already publically said he's no longer playing the part. Twentieth Century Fox hasn't announced a replacement.

Deadpool opens February 12, 2016.
