Cudmore’s absence will not be the only “X-Men” casting change with the characters Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Storm also re-cast with younger actors.
Tim Miller helms star Ryan Reynolds with T.J. Miller, Ed Skrein and Gina Carano. Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick penned the screenplay.
“Deadpool” will hit cinemas on February 12, 2016.
