On the promotional run for ‘Kick-Ass 2′ at Comic-Con, MTV grabbed a minute with Aaron Taylor-Johnson and asked him about the role of Pietro Maximoff aka Quicksilver in ‘The Avengers 2.’ “I don’t think I can talk about that, but it really is an exciting prospect,” Johnson said, indicating that the casting is a done deal. When asked if he was reading up on the character, he added, ”[QuickSilver] has a really interesting character and background. In fact, my wife just went out and bought… it’s like a really, really old vintage [comic] with the first time Quicksilver’s ever been on the cover.
Quicksilver is one of two confirmed characters Joss Whedon is introducing in the sequel, along with his twin Scarlet Witch. Both Marvel and 20th Century Fox share rights to the Quicksilver character, as Bryan Singer recently cast Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s ‘Kick-Ass’ co-star Evan Peters as Quicksilver in ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past.’ Johnson, who is coming off of Oliver Stone’s ‘Savages’ and Joe Wright’s ‘Anna Karenina,’ will soon be seen in ‘Kick-Ass 2.’ He’s currently filming ‘Godzilla’ for Legendary Pictures.
I feel like the X-men should have their own universe and not co-exist with The Avengers,this is only going to cause confusion and screw up continuity wait...They already did that.
What are your thoughts on this???
