Mind blown.
X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST director, Bryan Singer has just announced some unexpected news. Magneto’s son, Quicksilver will be in the film, played by actor, Evan Peters (Kick Ass, TV’s American Horror Story).
This is “unexpected” because the character, along with his sister Scarlet Witch, are currently being written into Joss Whedon’s THE AVENGERS sequel. Bryan Singer seems to know this very well, tweeting “Before he was an #Avenger, he was just a REALLY fast kid.”
Is Fox beating Marvel/Disney to the punch, or is Evans actually slated to appear as the same character in both franchises? Both studios have rights to the character, so it’s anyone’s guess. Singer didn’t shy away from the fact that he’s an Avenger, so we’ll see how this develops.
Update: According to HitFix, Fox and Marvel aren’t working together to create a sense of a larger shared world. Their sources say that Bryan Singer has allegedly “designed a sequence that he feels only works with Quicksilver.
Update 2: Singer deleted his original tweet which mentioned “Avengers.”
Update 3: This definitely isn’t the case of Fox and Marvel working together.

Screw you Marvel Cinematic universe… we were here first! 😀 😀 😀
Say what?!?! We can’t have Quicksilver without the Scarlet Witch……
I bet soon enough will add scarlet witch and it will all made sense now why that allison actress is there.. i bet she’s the scarlet wicth 😮
TAKE THAT MARVEL STUDIOS AND YOUR OVERRATED FILM FRANCHISE!
Fox’s X-Men >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Marvel Studio’s MCU
Yup!!! Cannot agree more!
All of You stop acting like kids right now. X-Men are Marvel Characters, they come from the same company. In terms of Box Office returns, Marvel has done better with their movies then Fox did with Daredevil or FF, and Fox lost Daredevil last year. If you can not see that then you are all stupid.
“Marvel… Go fuck yourself…” – Sorry… had to quote that famous mutant here.
The Marvel films are fast food. Forgettable. Mass products to appeal a broad mass. Boom, Bang… Explosion, CGI destruction of a city.
The X-Men films are character centered sci-fi dramas with great actors (admit it… Marvel only has one: RDJ), compelling and emotional stories.
@xavierstorma – So does that mean you’re going to not like Days of Future Past? Hugh Jackman said in an interview ( https://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=80375 ) that DOFP would be for Fox what the Avengers was for Marvel Studios.
Whether you personally like or dislike a movie does not make it necessarily good or bad. Everyone has different opinions. The box office speaks for itself when it comes to the movies produced by Marvel Studios. They’ve all been successful. The X-Men franchise, unfortunately, hasn’t attained that level of success yet. Let’s hope that it might change with DOFP.
I actually have to agree with Joe here. I love the X-Men. They are my #1 team. I don’t like the Avengers.. but I’d be stupid to not acknowledge that the movies produced by Marvel Studios have been a hundred times better than the X-Men ones. At least in Avengers, they give ample screen time for all the characters… in X-Men.. we pretty much only got the Wolverine and Storm show.
*cough*
So that’s 1,001 characters…this seems like X-Men 3 all over again. How many unintroduced random characters will they have in this film? No back story just cameos galore I’m assuming. I don’t have as much faith in Singer as others, although X2 was great those 2 films were basically Wolverine 1&2.
The benefit is that most people already know the majority of the characters. Hopefully Bryan Singer will be fair with everyone’s screentime and not turn it into Wolverine and friends.
I have no problem with this unless the Queicksilver in XDOFP and Avengers 2 were played by the same actors..
Would be funny if Marvel cast the same actor for Avengers. Maybe Fox put in his contract that he can’t play the character for them.
I hope fox don’t do it.. But I was thinking.. If Quicksilver appear in the past timeline.. then probably Quicksilver in Avengers 2 should be played by an older guy.. and it makes sense if they change the actor..
I hope this film will be over two and a half hour
Me too. That, or a two-parter. Seems too epic in scope to be done in under 2 hours.
2 and a half hour is kinda short for me. Make it 3hrs and give each character an awesome battle with the sentinels..
You are all stupid.
IMO Michelle Trachtenberg will be Scarlet Witch in DOFP.
thats an interesting option. I kind of see it now that you mention it. Much more than Allison Williams, who seems more comedy friendly, for some reason.
Yeah.. I totally forgot Michelle’s involvement in this one.. She dye her hair red right? it means, if she will not gonna play young Jean Grey.. Then its a 90% sure of Wanda..
I’m kinda pleased at the prospect of both franchises using these characters (I’m gonna go ahead and assume that Wanda’s casting will be announced soon). I imagine these’ll be different enough interpretations of the characters to not confuse audiences, and all us Marvel fans get to have our cake and eat it too. Win Win. Disney/Marvel and Fox just need to not turn this into a thing, which it’s looking like they’re gearing up to do, and just let it be. It’ll be fine. It’ll be good! 🙂
Haters just gonna hate..
I saw some of the comments from the other site about this article.. and they seems they got their bet to the Avengers 2 than XDOFP’s Quicksilver..
they hate dramas from X-men films and want actions like in Avengers.. I can’t blame them coz I like action myself.. I just wish this film will change their perspective about X-men..
Evan is hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
