Colossus Is In the Deadpool Movie A Good Amount

Given that most of the Colossus footage in the Deadpool trailer seems to take place during the same battle scene, it's easy to assume he might be a fairly minor player in the film, and that Deadpool's ties to the established X-Men universe will be fairly minimal.

Not so, according to Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld, who talked a little bit about the film at the Amazing Hawaii Comic-Con this weekend.

"You guys have seen a glimpse of him in the trailer; at San Diego in Hall H, they showed a little bit more of Colossus," Liefeld teased, praising the CG and saying it was the best the character had ever looked onscreen. "...You are going to love Colossus in Deadpool. He's in it a good amount; he doesn't just walk through the movie."

YouTuber Tiger Lau posted a video from the Q&A, which you can check out below.

Based upon Marvel Comics' most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

Deadpool hits theaters on Feb. 12, 2016. You can check out every other upcoming Marvel movie on ComicBook.com's Comic Book Movie Release Schedule!
