According to Inverse, Colossus, who was also a significant character in the first film, can be expected to contribute a fairly big role to the sequel. This much was revealed when Kapicic disclosed the relationship between his character and Deadpool.
"Colossus is trying to make [Deadpool] a better person, to stop being childish. Stop doing crazy things. This scene we see in the trailer, that's the picture of their relationship," Kapicic said.
The film is being directed by David Leitch and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Ryan Reynolds stars as Deadpool, while Morena Baccarin, TJ Miller, Leslie Uggams, Brianna Hildebrand, and Jack Kesy act alongside him.
