Deadpool & Wolverine gave us a great look at classic characters from the Fox universe, like Blade and X-23, and some of them died along the way. In this way, Ryan Reynolds has revealed that, before Hugh Jackman agreed to reprise the role of Wolverine, many of its scenes were intended for Colossus, who was to die in the climax.
Thanks to the fact that the version of Like a Prayer of Deadpool & Wolverine has been considered for a Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental or A Cappella Arrangement, Reynolds has revealed that one of his initial ideas was for Colossus to die in the space-time machine that Wolverine and Deadpool destroy at the end of the film.. This is what he said about it:
“I had Like A Prayer stuck in my head for the third Deadpool movie since 2017. Before Wolverine came into the chat, it was going to be largely the same motion control sequence I’d been dreaming about, except my dance partner originally was COLOSSUS. He would have died in the previous scene, launching Deadpool into a state of pure rage and revenge… all to the rhythm of @madonna’s inspired and unique song, Like A Prayer.
Obviously, Hugh’s addition changed everyone’s destiny. (And Colossus, along with his virginity, remained intact).”
Let us remember that Deadpool & Wolverine was in development for several years. While Jackman agreed to reprise the X-Men role, there was a possibility that the Australian actor would refuse, So Reynolds and the rest of the writers had to find a way to make this story work without Wolverine.and it seems that part of this weight was going to fall on Colossus.
Although the film was liked by many, others complained that part of the cast of the first and second films were not present, or did not have significant weight. Let’s remember that Colossus played an important role in Deadpool’s past adventures on the big screenbut in Deadpool & Wolverine was relegated to a couple of scenes where he has almost no dialogue.
Although it is possible that we will see more films of Deadpool & Wolverine in the future, It is unknown if Colossus or other important characters have any role beyond being a shadow in the background.. On related topics, it would already be in development Deadpool & Wolverine 2. Likewise, Gambit would have its movie.
Author’s Note:
I would love for the next Deadpool movie to focus on the characters we saw in the first two films. While Cable may not be possible, it’s easy to bring back Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead.
