It was reported last week that Colossus might appear in Fox's mutant spinoff starring Ryan Reynolds. But if Piotr Rasputin is indeed in Deadpool, he won't be played by actor Daniel Cudmore, who portrayed Colossus in X2: X-Men United, X-Men: The Last Stand, and X-Men: Days of Future Past.Cudmore took to social media to address the rumors:If Colossus is indeed in Deadpool -- and, if so, who will take over for Cudmore in the role -- remains to be seen.Meanwhile, TheWrap's Jeff Sneider tweeted that Transformers 4's T.J. Miller will play "Simon" and Game of Thrones' Ed Skrein will play the villain "Ridge" in Deadpool. Whether those are the characters' real names or code names for casting purposes is another matter.
