May 25, 2003 — From The Honolulu Advertiser's recap of the Hawaii X2 event, where writers Mike Dougherty and Dan Harris were on hand to talk about Colossus:
In "X2" they set up several characters who may have bigger roles to play in future films, including Colossus (Daniel Cudmore), a bulked-up guy who could transform his body into bulletproof metal, and Siryn (Shauna Kain), whose mutant power is her deafening scream.
"There was a point where in the script a kid pulls an alarm on the wall, and it felt so lame and it just felt so easy," Dougherty said. "We had Siryn in another scene. We decided to take her out of that part and move her into the mansion attack, and I think it worked great." However, adding Colossus was a bit of a fight for a little while, said Harris.
"It was always up in the air if he'd make it in the film, only because they didn't know what the effect was going to look like. They weren't sure if it was going to look good or not. Finally the visual effects people did a great job on it," said Dougherty. "You know you made the right decision when everybody across the country cheers when he shows up on the screen," said Harris.
