While he was not able to reveal too much about his character, he did say, "I think you're going to see more of who Colossus is. I think people will get a better sense of who he is. Colossus had been around in the comics since the '70s, so I mean, I think you could do your own movie on him."
Reports confirmed that Tricotruex will be the second actor to portray the role of Colossus. The first portrayal of the character was seen in several X-Men films such as "Days of Future Past," where the character was played by Daniel Cudmore.
With that, Tricotreux will be joined by the rest of the cast, which includes Ryan Reynolds who will be playing Deadpool, T.J. Miller who will be playing Weasel, Gina Carano who will be playing Angel Dust, Brianna Hildebrand who will be playing Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Morena Baccarin who will be playing Copycat, and Ed Skrein who will be playing Ajax. They will be under the direction of Tim Miller, with the script written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick of "Zombieland."
"Deadpool" is expected to release in theaters by Feb. 12, 2016.
