We got any news buzzing about what role Colossus will be doing this time around? He was a great new addition in X-2, and obviously his showing up, fans wanted to see him again. With this film and him getting front card exposure, why is very little coming in about this guy? We know about Storm's enhancement We know about Jean coming back and even siding with Magneto We see the appearence of Angel (and I hope its flies strong in the movie) We see Beast appearing and Beast is getting a lot of publicity seemingly We see Juggernaut coming out more and more Kitty Pryde has had a good bit of exposure With all these publicities and exposures, what about Colossus? And some are wondering about Psychlocke still. Just who is this guy playing Colossus and what role can we expect from him?

Well here is what I know
The guy playing him is Daniel Cudmore and is over 6'5 tall. he played alo of football and was into ski boarding and stuff until he broke his leg.he said in an interview that alot of guys try to pick fights with him because he is so big.
Jess platt the dialogue coach said in an interview he will not have the russian acccent and has hardly any dialogue at all. Simon Kinberg said that he is in alot of action scenes. So i guess he fights alot without speaking. There is a rumour that Colossus would be gay or bi in this movie and even though the writers thought it was a good idea, they have decided against it.

Steel's the shizz. And I think Cudmore's perfect for the job. Yup I cant wait for all the smashing to begin!

i think they couldn have found a better guy to play Colossus i just wish he wasn't gay or bi. He wasnt gay in the first place, his first love was Kitty then they broke up and he is with Rogue for a mmt. Only recently in Astonishing X-MEN in the comics, Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy The Vampire Slayer made Colossus gay cos it is all abt feeling accepted and being isolated from society that makes one feel like a minority. Colossus is cool the wayh he is.... he is cool.

I think you made have made a little mistake their apollolancer, Colossus is homosexual in Ultimate Xmen. Joss Whedon in Astonishing recently just put Colossus and Kitty back together.
Colossus is not gay in the movie either, that was a rumor spread by some un-informed person at Canmag.Though Simon Kinberg recently said it may be interesting to include a gay character in the Xmen movies.

My mistake, it is ultimate X-men, not astonishing, got that mixed up. Yeah, i dun think the movie will include Gay Colossus cos dun forget it is PG movie, so kids will see it too, it mite not be a good idea to have that theme even though i am supporting gay/bi/lesbian. But Colussuis is hot though, in X2, where he had a short mmt with Logan, man, both of them lok hot together... esp when he offered that he will help Logan...

It's cool, we all mixed things up once in awhile I can't wait to see Colossus on screen, his cameo in X2 was awesome!

he apparently is in the final battle as well (from the trailer anyways)
he might not have any speakrts, but he obviously will play a huge role in the climax and probably even more throughout the movie. He wont have a small 5 minute scene like he did in X2

god, I am so ticked off that they are leaving out his accent. That seems like a total injustice to the character. Maybe i'm just stupid, but I always thought that his being russian was one of the things that made him so cool.
it doesn't make much sense that the movies havn't had a gay character yet, b/c of what x-men stands for, really, so it makes me wonder if there's a specific reason that he isn't..... or maybe they just couldn't find a sensible way to write it in

well perhaps if the movie wasnt set to be PG, then the writers would prob not hesitate and write in Colossus to be gay or bi or whatever. if they did wrote that in a PG film, American parents would go crazy.... sigh some americans can be so.... picky... lol

I always thought Americans to be liberal and open-minded cos they are like the No 1 Country in the world in terms of economics, politics, arts & sciences. But I guess a certain BUSH administration has kickstart the whole agenda that brianwashed most Americans into super conservative, narrow-minded ppl who used religion to condemn homosexuality, etc... Gosh, they even banned BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN from screening in Utah, how crazy is that?? Seems to me like the Republicans reminds me of Senator Kelly...Anyway back to Colossus. I think he will have a meatier role in this movie, and he will get as much screen time as Kitty. Unfortunately his chartacter isn't gonna be gay cos it wd further complicate the X-MEN storyline than it already is.... so the focus wd be clear on main key characters like Wolverine, Phoenix, Storm, Angel & Beast. Anyone has a say on this?
