Andre Tricoteux confirmed as Colossus in Deadpool
So we know X-Men would be making a little cameo in Deadpool in the form of Colossus, but we didn’t know who would be taking the role. Now we do. Andre Tricoteux is set to play the big guy with the metal skin.
It was confirmed by Deadpool actress Gina Carano via social media:
You're the best #Colossus a person could ask for Andre. 💚 https://t.co/mObR1L6TDR

And any disputin dispute between the Ruskie and the Merc surely would be over who is allowed to wear the colour red.
Deadpool also recently wrapped up production. So its bloody swords and chimichangas all the way out from here.
Deadpool synopsis reads:
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 humour, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.
The film will be directed by Tim Miller, and stars Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein and Gina Carano. Plus we can expect to see X-Men’s Colossus making an appearance too.
Deadpool is scheduled for a theatrical release on February 12th2016
