Meet Kodi Smit-McPhee. Or perhaps you’ve met him before, as the lead roles ParaNorman, or Let Me In, the American Let The Right One In. He is our adorable baby Nightcrawler now, so I’d like your photoshops of him in blue makeup and a spade-tipped tail on my desk by Monday.

In other news, Daniel Cudmore has confirmed that he will not be returning to the role of Colossus in Deadpool. In other, other news, Bryan Singer is still involved in the X-Men franchise. *sigh*

I've had a blast playing such an awesome character over the years! #Deadpool will be kick-ass with #TimMiller and @VancityReynolds #BestFans

We’d previously heard Colossus was getting a role in Deadpool when Gina Carano joined the cast as a mutant. Most fans assumed Cudmore would reprise the role he created in X-Men 2 and continued with in X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men: Days of Future Past. Are you disappointed?
