Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver OFFICIALLY Cast in 'Avengers 2'

This....

Except that they should have been with the X-Men...

Don't why everyone is making a big deal on the origin Fix never got the origin right with Havok and Cyclops age so why should this be different the only complaint I have is with Ultron origin change. To me if Marvel Studios can avoid mentioning The X-men the better.

same could be said for an ANTMAN movie before aquaman.

The team is complete!

Apparently scarlet witch will not look like she does in comics, her suit

I see what you did there.

@comicgod: Isn't that like saying Flash is a ripoff of Hermes.

I think it is pretty cool that both Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are in the movie. Scarlet Witch was in the uncanny avengers. The only downside of her being in the movie, is of course her brother Quicksilver has to be in it soon. The complete rip-off of Flash is going to be in the movie. But, because its Ultron I am rather excited to see this movie. In the original story Ant-man created Ultron, this time it will be Tony Stark who created Ultron which is pretty cool.

Lmao

Joss Whedon...having....PoC...in cast...???? Maybe in another life. I think we're lucky Samuel L. Jackson was cast eons before Joss Whedon came on board the MCU.

Joss already stated they won't have anything to do with SHIELD.

[Insert Ultimates joke here.]

Same here, but if not them these two are a nice substitute.

@decept_o: Yeah I agree, a bit too young.

I'm just kinda glad to hear about Quicksilver, I'm eager to see what his powers will look like on the movie screen.

@tyrus said:

Iunno, I think Fox is about the same as Marvel on casting. A few amazing choices around, a bunch of terrible ones.

... Not really. They just waste actors sometimes (e.g. Ben Kingsley, etc). Their castings are still way better than Fox or WB's IMO.

Weak casting job. They try less and less with every film.

@daltonmunnal: How would they explain Cap and Johnny Storm ? if they ever merge ;)

I honestly would have rather these characters to not show up in the avengers unless fox and marvel decided to join universes. It will make the characters seem so random and dumb. There was no need for it. What happened to marvel talking about how they have endless characters to choose from?

Looking forward to this, and shouldn't be a problem with their powers. Just be vague and mention they were born with their powers due to some genetic anomaly. They don't need to mention Magneto either as he's not necessary really. I think they did a great job with the casting and I always liked Quicksilver's scheming. Scarlet Witch I've never liked, especially since M-Day. :P

I just wonder that with all these people in the movie, how big will their roles be as everyone else in The Avengers was introduced in their own movie, or in another movie (Black Widow in Iron Man 2, and Hawkeye in Thor). I wonder if Iron Man will be active during this or perhaps it'll just be Tony Stark helping out with some other things, since he kind of walked away from things in Iron Man 3.

better not change their origin

Love the characters, so much I don't wanna see them if their oegin sbare changed. The fact that magneto is their father is the best part about them. Since they can't mention magneto or any mutants in general then what the point. If you need more characters then use ms.marvel, black panther maybe even namor.

So they'll be playing love interest first, then immediately play brother-sister next lol

i like quicksilver i hope avengers 2 is a better portrayal, but glad to see the character hit the big screen

This has potential to kick ass.

They can be Inhumans if Marvel wants them to be... But I'd rather have their background kept a secret if Magneto or mutants in general isn't involved. The comics dodged their backstory for 15 years (64-79)... I'm sure they can avoid it for one, two or three movies.

My hunch is that they're going to be Inhumans born to a certain individual whom shall be continuously mentioned in the movie but never revealing his identity due to certain events of the past to protect them from their teammates.

Agree on serious Hawkeye being a total snore, but I think the Eurotrashy, snobbish ultimate versions of the twins would be pretty fun!

I just REALLY hope they don't overplay the over-protective brother/whiny sister bit... and Wanda faints after 1 spell from exhaustion

Fox is shooting themselves in the foot not casting the same kid as Quicksilver. They need to ride those coat-tails and make those greenbacks.

Anyone else feel like this has been made official like 15 god damn times already?

Great news, can't wait.

I don't get how people are surprised or worried about additions to The Avengers... I mean I love Cap, Stark, Thor, Hulk, Widow and Hawkeye, but I don't think I'd be able to put up with them by themselves for 3 movies... Heck people want a Justice League film to start off with the original 7 and act like that's not a problem, so it shouldn't be a problem if Avengers has that many members as well.

I'd have preferred Hank and Jan.

that's a lot of members for a 2 hour movie.

Both Wanda and Pietro are off European descent. Wanda is diverse because she was raised by gypsies and what not, but that isn't really genetic. If they include some of their gypsy heritage into the movie, then that would be great too.

Fantastic news! :)

Wasn't Wanda supposed to be... i don't know, more ethnically diverse? I'll see the movie and I'll probably love it. But I'm not so sure about this whitewashed casting. Whatever.

Works for me. Can't wait!

More than likely, they'll be introduced as Inhumans.

You know that he has a European accent, right? He'll probably use his accent for Pietro since QS is European.

@mr__kamikaze: it's because out in public he looks like a total douche. But yeah, good actor.

Elizabeth Olsen should be great, Aaron Johnson is one of my least favorite people appearing in movies now.

Also, worth remembering Magneto wasn't revealed as their father for about 20 years after they joined the Avengers. I don't have a problem with that being missing.

I hope they're the Avengers characters, and not the Ultimates. Grim dull Hawkeye was bad enough.

Nice.

The fact that there's more hate on Quicksilver makes it hilarious. It's so easy for me to point out the DC fanboys crying over the fact that Quicksilver is headed to the big-screen before The Flash.

Look at it this way - who knew people actually cared Quicksilver and his backstory? Right, nobody (well at least not as much people as there currently is). This Quicksilver hate is just like people pretending to be Mandarin fans, Hank Pym fans, Ultron fans, etc...

So.... are they saying there will be two different Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch ?? or are they the same actors and actress that will be playing for Avengers 2 and Xmen DoFP?

Siiick!! i'm a fan of both of these actors & i think they'd do alright for these characters. And i'm glad they're on the younger side too, i really didnt want to see a middle-age Quicksilver or Scarlet Witch in their first (marvel) movie. All they need is Falcon & Vision, then i'd be good with the roster!
