That codependent version of the twins could work great in what should be a darker movie than the first. Maybe that means Taylor-Johnson will be channeling his best Russian accent and playing it straight, hinting at their childhood trauma. In the comics, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch grew up in austere Eastern Europe, and have a close relationship that at some points gets a little Game of Thronesy (hopefully that’s not what they’ll go for in a fun action movie). Taylor-Johnson has said his version of Quicksilver will be very protective of his sister. ![]() ![]() Since Magneto is off-limits to the Avengers crew, they’re sticking with the Scarlet Witch. Here, we could see the earlier version of Quicksilver, the misguided kid who turns to villainy and becomes hungry for ways to increase his power, ultimately gaining the ability to move so fast he can jump through time. This sequel actually spans two time periods, but Quicksilver only appears as his young self, struggling, we can assume, with the mounting tension between his father, charismatic villain Magneto, and the rest of the mutants. Peters looks a little bit younger (though he’s actually 26 to Taylor-Johnson’s 23), and more like a waffling, reluctant hero, similar to Nicolas Hoult in X-Men: First Class. Taylor-Johnson is a little brawnier than Peters from bulking up for Kick-Ass its sequel (in which the latter did not appear), but has a neurotic, almost nerdy energy. Quicksilver began as an X-Men villain, but became an Avenger, so we’ll be seeing both sides iterations over the next few summers. There are a few basic things we know about both versions of the character: Because of ownership issues between studios, the Avengers cannot appear in the X-Men film and vice-versa, so Taylor-Johnson, in Avengers: Age of Ultron, will play opposite Elizabeth Olsen as his twin sister the Scarlet Witch, while Peters will be either working for or against the X-Men in Days of Future Past.

Quicksilver's MCU return would be welcomed by fans, and if there's anyone who can convince Taylor-Johnson to reprise the role, it's Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. "As far as the placement of it, that was a lot of the work in the writers' room, was when do we have these moments? When do we reveal things? When do we delve into authenticity? Because the sitcom stuff, there's the patina of the happy, false environment and the happy, false self a little bit, so it made sense to me in that moment for her to have some emotional honesty." ![]() "So, my approach with Wanda was to look at the entirety of the woman, right? All of herself and all of her experiences and all of her trauma, and losing Pietro is a big part of that and having been a twin is a big part of that," she explains. So, that's about as vague an answer as you can get, but Schaeffer did elaborate on the mention of Quicksilver in episode three. But again, it's about Wanda's internal life and what her experience is and what her feelings are. "It's so hard to answer these questions," she replied. ![]() There's definitely more story to be told there, and the nature of the Scarlet Witch's powers means he could somehow be resurrected.ĭuring a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, WandaVision showrunner Jac Schaeffer was asked about the possibility of Taylor-Johnson returning as Pietro. The actor made only a single appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after being killed by the villainous Ultron in 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron. There are a lot of hard-to-ignore signs that Quicksilver could make his return in WandaVision, though it's possible he won't be played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson ( find more about that by clicking here).
