Aaron Taylor-Johnson was first rumoured to be in the running for the role of 'Quicksilver' in The Avengers: Age of Ultron back in June, but The Wrap has now confirmed that he closed his deal today to star in the sequel to the highest grossing superhero movie of all-time. The reason for the delay is that his shooting schedule for the Marvel Studios 2015 release overlaps with publicity commitments to Legendary Pictures and Gareth Edwards' Godzilla remake. However, that has now all been sorted, hence why was able to sign on the dotted line today. Johnson joins Elizabeth Olsen as 'The Scarlet Witch' and James Spader as 'Ultron' as new casting additions to the movie.

Oh so the original rumour was right? Cool, I did like him in Kick Ass, might be interesting to see what he can do as Quicksilver. Hopefully the actress for Scarlet Witch will be suitable.

I really don't care for these two, not the actors, I'm just not a big fan of the characters, there are a hell of a lot more I'd like to see.

How many times is this casting going to be confirmed... Anyway, I'm happy about this casting, Johnson's a cool dude and seems really excited for the role which is always a good sign.

"Like DC Comics’ character The Flash, Quicksilver possesses superhuman speed, a fitting trait for Taylor-Johnson considering how quickly he has become one of Hollywood’s hottest young actors"

Wow. How clever and humourous...

Anyway, I haven't seen any of his films, so I can't speculate on whether he'll play it well. I can't really see it, but maybe he'll look right in costume.

Uhmm....cool? I'm surprised they're going to Age of Ultron first despite showing off Thanos at the end of the Avengers.

@rogueshadow: Same. And it's gonna be weird how they're going to involve them in the film considering they can't be called Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, their real names, or even referred to as mutants. The way I see it if you can't even have those essential components of these characters, why even involve them at all? I'll wait to see what Whedon does to overcome this

There are multiple confirming of this so I'd say its legit.

Not surprising though as it was heavily rumored prior.

Oh, I thought this was confirmed a while ago.

It wasn't confirmed until today. Just rumored. Unless the source has multiple legit sources or the director or produce or the actor comes out and says it, always assume its a rumor.

He looks...wrong for the role. But he still looks more the part than Elizabeth Olsen.

I agree with everything you just said. After seeing pictures of Olsen she seems a very peculiar choice, I can sort of see ATJ, she seems out of sorts next to the comic book character, but as you said I'll wait to see what JW has to offer, because we know it's usually a lot.

I don't want Quicksilver in the MCU (you would know this if you have read my blog) But I think he's a pretty good fit. I thought this was confirmed a wile back though
