Evan Peters Dishes On Returning As ‘Quicksilver’ In The "Biggest X-MEN Movie" APOCALYPSE

I have a love/hate thing going on with stuff like this in the X-Men movies. They take lots of liberties with the source material at Fox, but with X-Men, they usually do it pretty well. I just can't get over that that's not how Quicksilver is supposed to be.

Looks like Michael Cera in that pic with Jennifer Lawrence.

If Apocalypse has any sense he'll realize that he doesn't need anyone besides Peter to take over the world. And since En Sabah Nur has this awesome powers of persuasion he shouldn't have a hard time convincing him to join his cause - after all it took a random buff dude, a nerd and a drug addict less than an hour to convince Peter to break free the world's most dangerous mutant criminal from under the Pentagon.

If we think of x-men as a cinematic universe, it is well built, x1 (Magneto as a thread), x2 (a militar man making experiences w/ mutants, x3 (govenment creates a "cure" for the mutante society). Then past events: FC (Magneto & Xavier origins and Hellfire Club as thread), DOFP (the begining of the Sentinels and how it will be in a farther future), Apocalipse (the biggest vilain x-men has ever faced).

Bigger isn't always better. Look at what happened in X-Men: the Last Stand.

Nobody knows how he would fare in a fight against real mutants

If he put his mind to it -or if someone instructed him- there wouldn't be much of a fight. Yes, in the kitchen he played around with a bunch of guards, but he could have just as well killed Magneto and Xavier and at least incapacitated Logan instead.

@xinstituto

Yeah, it's really well put together

I like how DOFP repeated the ending of First Class too, and how Magneto literally had to repeat the same mistakes he made in First Class, to the point that he would have paralyzed Charles again, in order for Mystique to understand that killing Trask would lead to their extinction, and that Magneto's path was wrong. It put Mystique back in that mind set at the end of First Class. Plus, Charles narration and speech to Mystique during the finale was awesome.

It really plays with the idea of second chances, and how everyone can lose their path, but it doesn't mean that their lost forever, some really powerful stuff, imo, I was locked in from the beginning

First Class, DOFP, and Apocalypse could be one of, if not the best CBM trilogy, imo

@Kyos

Magneto and Xavier and at least incapacitated Logan

^ You mean, Xavier with no powers?

Logan with bone claws?

and Magneto in a room with only metal utensils and pans?

And, I think Magneto still could have caused damage, and he and Logan definitely could have taken out the guards but Charles didn't want Magneto to kill or severely harm anyone

His scene in DOFP was a lot of fun, but only as spectacle, and only because he wasn't in the rest of the movie. If he becomes more involved in the plot, how do you explain him not easily winning every fight, or solving every problem? He's so damn OP it's like he's stopping time.

@EricBorder

What about Jean Grey? Jean Grey could take him out in a few seconds

Xavier with his powers would definitely take out Quicksilver


Hey Peter, want to rule the world?

Step 1: Sharpen a stick.
Step 2: Put on something without metal parts or go nude.
Step 3: Put the stick into Magneto's eyes roughly 20 times in a second.
Step 4: Put on Magneto's helmet.
Step 5: You won.

Damnit, I meant "200 times". :P

@Kyos

Plus, has Quicksilver ever killed anybody?

Magneto definitely has and is more than willing

@EricBorder



The fact that neither Eric nor Charles showed any further interest in Peter after the Pentagon escape was one of the things that bothered me the most about DoFP.

If Quicksilver paused for a second, Magneto could put 1,000 shards of metal into his head if he wanted too, not something that a guard with a plastic gun could do

Plus, when you compare other mutants, other than just Wolverine, to guards with plastic guns, there would definitely be more of a fight

And, Jean Grey and Xavier could definitely take out Quicksilver

But he wouldn't pause for a second, and even if he did he would have a whole bunch of other seconds before Magneto could as much raise his arms. And which other mutants (we know of) would be able to even dream of landing a hit against him? As for the telpaths - that's why he'd have to go after Magneto's helmet first.

Look, my argument is that if X-movieverse Quicksilver himself or someone else (say, an ancient being with plans to use other mutants to achieve his goals) actually thought about how to make full use of his potential it'd pretty much be "game over". It's all hypothetical, just playing around with thoughts about the immense possibilities of his powers.

I realize that the Peter we get is a somewhat simple, unambitious dude who will luckily follow the good guys in this movie. Becaus, idk, they happen to ask him first.
