Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver OFFICIALLY Cast in 'Avengers 2'

Add Falcon and Vision to the roster then you'll have a big team to face Thanos in Avengers 3.

Yay but Whedon really needs to put Eliza Dushku and Nathan Fillion in something again

More than anything, I am surprised with the fact they're using such young actors for the roles. Not complaining, just totally unexpected.

Never too fond when studios cast actors who have played other heroes or superheroes or villains from other comic book movies, though. Yes I know Chris Evans pulled off the Captain American role despite having been Human Torch but overall it is just annoying to me.

Why not cast an unknown and save some money?

Awesome this great! Great to see Scarlet Witch finally making head way, now I don't have to be bothered by Black Widow anymore. Now add in Vision and it will double in awesome. As to the lack of mutant connection I can live with that. Mutant aspect always did belong to the X-men mytho's anyway, easiest explanation would be they gained their powers being descendants of the Eternals.

I really don't like this. When I think of these characters, I think of two things:

1. They're mutants

2. They're the offspring of Magneto

If neither of these things will be true for Avengers 2, then in my opinion it's going too far from the source material. Still, I can't write it off before I've seen more, and this has oddly made me interested in seeing what they'll do with the characters for the film.

Not that excited but it's not any bad news by any means.

So there can be no mention of Magneto right?

Cool.

I have the same problem as well. I just don't care for the movies he acts in I suppose.

ha, yet still no Wonder Woman movie.....

Cool.

I really don't care for their involvement in the movie.Both characters are pretty boring for me and I can't be excited for such news as long as Hank Pym is still not set to appear in the movie.

I saw Olsen basically confirm this on the Daily Show a little bit back. I hope Taylor-Johnson comes at this with a different voice than he uses in Kick-Ass, that voice annoyed me so much and it doesn't fit Pietro. Here's hoping.

As hilarious as I find it that we're getting Quicksilver in two different movies, a year apart, in different universes, played by two actors who previously starred in a superhero movie before... I was disappointed to see this made official. I know this casting has been rumored for ages, but I had been hoping that the reason this movie hadn't announced casting for Quicksilver, and Days of Future Past hasn't announced casting for Scarlet Witch, was that they were going to surprise us by having the be the same actors and merging universes. I knew that was incredibly unlikely, but it was a theory I was excited about. I mean, one movie is all about time travel, the other is at least named for a story arc that had so much time travel it broke the universe, so I figured it might have been a master plan to merge them. Oh, well. Great casting anyway. I'm just disappointed that they've now pretty much thrown away any chance of a merged universe in the future. We can still hope for Spidey, I guess.

I have some weird issue with Aaron Taylor-Johnson...I don't know what it is, but something about him bugs me. Decent enough actor though.

I'm excited to see how they manage Wanda and Pietro in Avengers 2 without the whole mutant thing or referencing their father.

This is going to drive me mutant crazy. He's in two movies, two different actors, and both were in the first Kick-Ass Movie. Did Quicksilver suddenly become popular or something? Who made the announcement first I'm wondering?

Yes yes yes yes. Not only are these two excellent characters who deserve more mainstream attention, they are going to be played by great actors. Especially Elizabeth Olsen. She is just delightful.

Yay!! I hope this movie will be breaking a lot of Box Office records!! Big $$$$!!!
