Below are some excerpts, but click here for the full thing &#8211; there&#8217;s lots to read!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Daniel Cudmore turned down performing mo-cap for Colossus role.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were never going to be able to keep Colossus as a secret. He was in the script that leaked and all that. I wasn&#8217;t actually sure, until we were standing there shooting it, that at some point Fox was going to say, &#8216;Hold on a second; we can\u2019t put Colossus from our treasured X-Men franchise in this movie to be made fun of!&#8217; But they did, and not only that, but also they let me change the look of him. As a fanboy I\u2019ve always been like, &#8216;That dude with the shiny skin is not fucking Colossus.&#8217; He should be this monstrous guy, and they actually let me make him seven-and-a-half feet tall. I did actually call Daniel Cudmore to ask him if he wanted to do this, even though he\u2019d be entirely CG the whole time. He was very nice about it. He was like, &#8216;I appreciate your offering, but nah.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cudmore backed this up via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/danielcudmore\/status\/628993371856449536\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, saying&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I did get a call for Colossus but it was CGI\/stunts and not using my voice so I graciously passed.

You can\u2019t only play to the comic fans. He\u2019s spouting weird shit all the time, and if you don\u2019t pick up on every joke, that\u2019s fine. But you can\u2019t leave everybody behind all the time. Any joke that an audience needs to look up on the internet after the movie is not something I\u2019m in favour of. But that scene\u2019s one for the DVD extras, for sure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Removing Garrison Kane and choosing Negasonic over Cannonball.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the original script the action in the third act was great, but it was just Deadpool and a lot of guns. One of my notes early on was that I wanted to see more superhero stuff. We had Garrison Kane in there for a while, but in the final round of budget cuts we had to take him out, because he was a pretty expensive dude. He\u2019s got these bionic arms that change shape; he would have been a visual effect for a large part of the movie. And as it turned out, a visual effect too far. I went through the list of Marvel characters and picked a few others I thought could be visually spectacular and fun. And at the end of that list was Negasonic, which I just thought was a freaky, funny name. And I sent this list over to the writers, Rhett (Reese) and Paul (Wernick), and they were like, &#8216;Oh my fucking god, we have to use her!&#8217; So that\u2019s how she ended up in the movie. Her name was cool, and we kind of wanted a straight-man to play against Colossus. We thought about Cannonball, but he would\u2019ve been a stupid hick character, whereas the guys wrote Negasonic as this deadpan goth teen, which was a great angle. She turned out really well. There aren\u2019t really many definitive Deadpool villains, apart from Cable. If we don\u2019t put Cable in Deadpool 2 I think we\u2019ll be run out of town on a rail.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.empireonline.com\/features\/deadpool-trailer-breakdown\/p2\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> to read much more!<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ONHBaC-pfsk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FyKWUTwSYAs?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Director Tim Miller provided Empire with exclusive commentary on the newly released DEADPOOL trailer and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":33096,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[15,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33095","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crew-talk","category-deadpool"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/colossus.png?fit=1148%2C653&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=33095"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33095\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/33096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=33095"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=33095"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=33095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
