Fox’s X-Men cinematic universe may be popular, but one complaint many fans have against it is their deviation from the comics. Small or large changes, fans view Fox as the company that changes comic book characters when putting them on the big-screen.
One of these characters is Colossus, who is Russian in the comics but wasn’t in the X-Men films. Next year’s Deadpool film will be basing the character on the comic version a lot more, and keeping him Russian is just one of the ways they plan to do that.
Deadpool director Tim Miller is quoted as saying the following:
“I don’t know why he wasn’t like that before. Those are the kinds of things that I think as a fan… nothing against the movies that were made before but I feel like if there’s not a real reason to change those sorts of things then you should stay true to the comics as much as you can. As a fan it bothered me when he didn’t speak with a Russian accent. I expect that.”
Due to the alternate timeline established by X-Men: Days of Future Past, it is possible for some characters to be shifted around in the universe.
Deadpool is scheduled to be released on February 12th, 2016.
