It was crazy news when Joss Whedon announced that Quicksilver would appear in The Avengers 2 (I still think they should change the title) since the character would also be starring in Bryan Singer’s upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past. While Evan Peters will be playing the part in Singer’s film, Kick-Ass star Aaron Taylor-Johnson is confirmed to be in early talks for the part in Marvel’s film.
That character, along with Scarlet Witch, are currently the top casting priorities since everyone except for Robert Downey Jr. is signed up and ready to roll for Whedon’s highly anticipated sequel.
For those who aren’t familiar with the character, Quicksilver is the son of Magneto and the twin brother of Scarlet Witch. The reason the character is being played by two different actors is simply because of rights issues so don’t expect to hear any X-Men crossover talk in The Avengers because that’s not happening but would be amazing if it did.
