![]() Darcy Lewis commented on how Pietro had been “recast.”Īs of this writing, we don’t know the full story behind the Evans Peter-played Quicksilver in WandaVision. Wanda was shocked by her brother’s different appearance, and even Dr. ![]() After all, Spider-Man 3 and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness are delving into multiversal craziness, so why couldn’t WandaVision do the same? Sure enough, Peters appeared at the end of the WandaVision episode “A Very Special Episode” as Quicksilver, only he acted like he was related to Wanda rather than hailing from the Fox X-Men universe. Then it was rumored that Evan Peters would appear in the Disney+ series, which then caused fans to wonder if Peters was reprising his version of Quicksilver for WandaVision. ![]() By the time the events of Dark Phoenix unfolded in 1992, Quicksilver was a veteran X-Man, although he was injured relatively early into the movie, meaning he had to sit out most of Jean Grey’s tenure as The Phoenix.īefore going further, be warned, there are SPOILERS for the WandaVision episode “A Very Special Episode” ahead!īecause WandaVision focuses on Wanda Maximoff living a sitcom-perfect life with Vision, who was killed by Thanos at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, there was speculation that Wanda might also resurrect her brother. From there, Peter got looped into the main narrative and helped fight Apocalypse and his Four Horsemen. Eventually Peter decided to visit the X-Mansion to find answers, and he arrived in the nick of time, saving the inhabitants from being incinerated in an explosion. X-Men: Apocalypse confirmed that Magneto is indeed Peter Maximoff’s father, and Peter had tried to find Erik Lensherr in the decade that passed between Days of Future Past and Apocalypse. Upon meeting Magneto, Peter mentioned how his mom knew a guy who could move metal, teasing their shared lineage. Having been acquainted with the adult Peter in the future, Wolverine recruits Quicksilver with Professor X and Beast to help them break Magneto out of prison, leading to one of the most memorable and hilarious sequences in the X-Men franchise. Introduced in X-Men: Days of Future Past as a mutant teenager in 1973 who causes mischief with his super speed. Rather than being called Pietro, Evan Peters’ Quicksilver is named Peter Maximoff, and he hails from the U.S. Wanda avenged her brother’s death when she destroyed Ultron’s main body, but Pietro wouldn’t be mentioned in the MCU again until WandaVision. Sadly, Pietro perished when he ran in front of a hail of bullets to shield Hawkeye and a young boy from being struck. Along with Quicksilver’s speed obviously making him a powerful opponent since he could both run, think and act faster than normal people could perceive, his power also came in handy with evacuating Sokovian citizens during Ultron’s attack. However, once the twins learned that Ultron planned to wipe out all life on Earth, they joined Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in stopping him. And rather than Magneto and Magda Eisenhardt being the twins’ father and mother, their parents in the MCU were humans who died when the kids were 10.Īfter cameoing in the Captain America: The Winter Soldier mid-credits scene, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch made their full debut in Avengers: Age of Ultron, where they initially fought the Avengers and particularly hated Tony Stark since it was his weapons of war that led to their parents dying. Regardless, because the MCU wasn’t able to include Marvel mutant lore at the time, Aaron Taylor Johnson’s Pietro Maximoff and Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff were depicted as Sokovian natives who were enhanced after being exposed to the Mind Stone during HYDRA experimentation. For most of their existence, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch have been classified as mutants in the comics, though it’s since been retconned that they actually gained their powers after being experimented on by The High Evolutionary.
