Aside from Cain, at least one other person has taken the both the armor and identity of the Juggernaut. While he succeeds in defeating Cain, his new powers also threaten to turn him into another version of the Juggernaut. Ultimately, while there are moments where he has lost control of himself, Colossus retains enough of his own awareness to realize the full extent of the danger he poses to others.
In moments of clarity, he convinced his allies to take precautionary measures against him in the event he loses control of himself. Thankfully, his sister Magik, was able to successfully sever his connection to Cyttorak. After all, Cyttorak is part of a group of eight deities that seek to conquer all of mankind. After becoming the host of Cyttorak's power, the Juggernaut gained more than just super strength and durability.
He is practically indestructible thanks to a special force field which surrounds him and protects him from virtually all forms of physical attacks. This mystic barrier has allowed the Juggernaut to prevail multiple times over opponents that are as equally powerful as him. In other words, even if he is trapped in an uninhabitable environment, he is able to survive without the need to eat, or even breath. Despite his weaknesses to mysticism, the Juggernaut has still shown heavy resistance to powerful enchanted weapons like Mjolnir.
During his encounters with Thor, the Asgardian was put through the ringer as his blows failed to cause any harm to Juggernaut. It is hard to forget the amusing parody of Deadpool portraying Bob Ross as he paints a picture while discussing the wonders and joys of life. However, while he is painting, fans can make out the image of giant red blob on the painting.
At the time, this blurry blob proved to be a huge hint regarding the potential appearance of the Juggernaut in Deadpool 2. Sure enough, the Juggernaut makes a huge comeback towards the end of the film, as one of its major antagonists. Unlike, the failed portrayal by Vinnie Jones in X-Men: The Last Stand , the Deadpool 2 version of Juggernaut shares a much closer resemblance to his comic book counterpart.
Although he is entirely CGI, he still makes a noticeable impact by delivering a performance worthy of his character. Interestingly, the voice actor chosen to portray the role of Juggernaut in the film was none other than Ryan Reynolds. While it was amusing to see Reynolds have a climactic battle with himself, he just does not really fit in as Juggernaut's true voice actor. Instead Reynolds filled in the role, but had his voice modified using a modulator to transform his voice in a manner befitting the villain.
After 12 years since his last cinematic appearance, it is a huge relief to finally see a proper version of the Juggernaut on the big screen.
Hopefully, future films could help clarify an important query surrounding him. For years, the comics have made sure to distinguish Juggernaut from mutants like the X-Men, thanks to his connection with Cyttorak. However, the film never actually confirms whether Juggernaut is actually a mutant or not.
While, Juggernaut does confirm that Charles is his brother, not much else is revealed about him. Thus, it is unknown if the Deadpool 2 version of Juggernaut is a mutant or if his powers are more closely related to his comic book counterpart. Thanks to Deadpool 2 , it is possible that Juggernaut may become more involved in future films, which could shed some more light on this mystery. However, the nature of his powers also leads us to question another important issue that took place in the film's climax.
One of the best scenes includes a final brawl between Deadpool and his allies against the Juggernaut. Thankfully, Colossus arrives, resulting in an intense brawl between two CGI giants. Interestingly, this battle pays close homage to their past fights in the comics. However, as it is the case in the comics, Colossus only defeats Juggernaut with the help of his allies.
Colossus then incapacitates Juggernaut by throwing him in a pool of water along with an electrified cable for good measure. Under normal circumstances, it is natural to feel concern on whether or not the Juggernaut could survive something like that.
Thankfully, Juggernaut survives his electrocution, and later emerges from the pool in the film's final moments. However, the full extent of this Juggernaut's abilities remains unknown. Thus, it is uncertain if him surviving is due to the fact that he is extremely tough or because of his connection to Cyttorak.
One thing is for sure, with the way Colossus electrocuted him, not even Juggernaut could just walk away unscathed unless he had the powers of Cyttorak on his side. Over the years, both Colossus and Juggernaut have been involved in several fights with one another. Unfortunately for Colossus, the Juggernaut has proven time and time again that he is the superior fighter. However, this does not mean that Colossus is weak. Jones recalled:. I loved the role, but hopefully you can put it fucking right here, mate.
I basically got mugged off. Matthew Vaughn signed me up, and it was a great role and a great script, and Juggernaut was a great character. I signed up for three of them, and that will show you how serious I was about it. Brett Ratner basically dissolved the character. I was in my fucking trailer half the time. User Info: RoxasANobody. For the same reason people hate a certain weapon - because it results in them losing.
User Info: jasonb Because it's easy to tell who uses juggernaut, and see it's effect. It's all a mental thing. They need something to blame, and since the cross pops up indicating that the guy you are trying to kill has juggernaut, it's the easiest thing to blame. Never mind that stopping power cancels out juggs, never mind that a head shot negates the need for either of the two.
They just need something to blame for their inability to kill someone, and since they can see juggernaut on someone it's there to blame. As long as you can play against another person people will find something too complain about. Hell we could get to a FPS where the only thing you could use is a satin glove and you slap each other across the face and someone would still complain that one form of satin is more course than another and it's unfair and noobish.
User Info: duxup. I think if they changed juggernaut to where it provided NO advantage people would still throw fits about it More topics from this board And it wasn't just in a nod to Vinnie Jones ' portrayal of the character in the mess that was X-Men: The Last Stand , despite Deadpool doing his best to "fix" the Fox Marvel movie-verse with time-traveling executions; Juggernaut actually played a vital part to progressing the plot.
So if you missed out on Marvel Comics, never saw the 90s animated X-Men series, or slept through his appearance in the aforementioned live-action film, allow me to explain just what the Juggernaut's all about. In Deadpool 2 , the villains of the piece were hell-bent on rounding up misbehaving mutants and, if they proved too volatile for the super-shady Essex Academy to handle, shipping them away to a secure facility known as the Ice Box. If this is an actual Marvel Comics reference and not just a nod to its frozen location, it's a really deep cut.
In said Ice Box, the captured and depowered Deadpool and Firefist Julian Dennison become aware of a "monster" kept in the facility's most secure section, a massive subterranean vault of sorts. While I was seriously hoping for an actual monster from Marvel lore, or even a bizarro X-Factor hero like Strong Guy, what we got was the Juggernaut, something sharp-eyed fans thought was a solid possibility thanks to this brief scene from the film's marketing material:.
Yep, that's the Juggernaut, alright! We always wanted to see a CG Juggernaut, so we finally got that. We also really needed to balance the scales in act three, between Deadpool and friends and little Firefist who has cool powers, but we needed to make it a fair fight. What greater force of nature than Juggernaut? It also gave us a chance for him to fight Colossus.
