PanARMENIAN.Net - 20th Century Fox has released another teaser for the second trailer of "Deadpool" that will be released on Christmas Day. It's the Merc With a Mouth himself, Ryan Reynolds, who announces that the second trailer will debut during the NBA games on ESPN, AceShowbiz said.

Deadpool is seen sitting on a comfort chair in a living room full of Christmas ornament. Like usual, the antihero looks hilarious as he reads a parody of "T'was the Night Before Christmas" about the upcoming trailer. While Deadpool informs fans that the trailer will be shown "in between of the dunks," his best friend Weasel (T.J. Miller) keeps interrupting.

In other news, it has been revealed that Colossus a.k.a. Piotr Nikolaievitch is voiced and performed by Serbian actor Stefan Kapicic. Kapicic replaces the previously-announced actor Andre Tricoteux, who was tapped to take over the role from Daniel Cudmore.

In an interview with EW, Kapicic explained about the casting process and how he landed the role. He said that director Tim Miller wanted the metal creature to be bigger and more Russian. "Tim Miller's idea of Colossus was to be bigger and stronger than everyone else, so for the motion capture they needed an extremely tall man," said Kapicic. "Tim also wanted Colossus to sound as close as possible to the comic book character's background, so he had me to come in, since my voice was what he envisioned for Colossus, who has an authentic Russian accent."

"Deadpool" tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wilson (Reynolds), who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. The movie is scheduled to be released in the U.S. on February 12, 2016.
