Here He Comes To Save The Day

JA from MNPP here, just taking a brief moment to delight over the fact that Bryan Singer just tweeted that for the new X-Men movie Daniel Cudmore will be returning as Colossus. He previously played the character in X2 and X3. Singer actually tweeted a picture of sixteen actors that will be in the movie, most of whom we already knew about (did we know about Anna Paquin and Ellen Page? I can't keep up), but I think you'll forgive me for having happy thoughts seeing Cudmore specifically, for you know... obvious reasons, and what not. Perhaps he and Michael Fassbender can have a scene where they fight each other at the suana? Or maybe he and James McAvoy take up Turkish Oil Wrestling? I'm just spitballing ideas here - feel free to use whatever, Bryan. You don't even have to give me credit - just make it happen.
Bryan Singer, X-Men

He can't spell César, but he's great choosing hotties.
Why did you write a post on a series you know nothing about, I'm not a huge fan but I know Paquin was in the 1st one and Page was in the 3rd. Worse still, your worthless and superficial commentary comes off like E! or some teen gossip crap I don't read and I don't want to read hence why I come to the film experience: "I don't know anything about this new movie or like , but the stars are mmm HOT, wow so HOT...I don't really like movies I just like HOT BUFF GUYS and imagining them greased up on top of me froggy-style."
Why are you allowed to write for the Film Experience, where's Nathaniel, what's going on!?
The comment about Paquin and Page was in reference to their joining Days of Future Past, I believe.
What Devin said.
Although what Derp said about hot buff guys greased up froggy style was good too.
My comment here on my site disappeared. grrrr. but i was happy about this news since i thought Cudmore miraculously really looked the part. Pity that he wasn't played as Russian but you can't have everything.
It was a funny line,it can't be serious all the time,i like a blog that's isn't afraid to show his gay side,makes them more human and not just words on a page.
I'm not happy about the direction of this film... on top of Singer directing. It seems really bloated.
Bia -- right? Like X3 bloated. So many characters that they're all reduced to being weird-looking extras in CG addled scenes.
although Bryan Singer is a MUCH better director than what'shisface so maybe it'll be okay.
I'm hoping that Fassbender/McKellen and McAvoy/Stewart are the core of the movie and the other mutants are just extended cameos because it is looking all kinds of bloated. That was the exact problem with X3 and this has way too much potential to be amazing for Singer to screw this up.
Still needs more Famke though.
