Many of you who saw Avengers: Age of Ultron already- Wait! If you haven’t watched the film yet, leave this article now! If not, you will be spoiled! You were warned...
As you saw in Avengers: Age of Ultron, Quicksilver was supposedly killed saving Hawkeye, and that kid. In a recent interview with Merlot Mommy, Avengers Director Joss Whedon, explained the full process on why this scene/death was done. “We talked about it. My first meeting with Aaron and I hope that this would be something that would not see print until after the movie comes out. The first meeting I had with him, I said this is my plan is to have—we always were ready for the idea that the Disney brass would come down and say, excuse us. “Please leave the beautiful man in the franchise movie.” But it became clear certainly after we shot it, how well it worked," He then added, "So then it was just my job to spend the entire movie trying to convince everyone that Hawkeye was definitely going to die, and that turned into a really fun game.”
I’m sure many of you who watched Avengers: Age of Ultron saw how The Avengers joked about not needing Hawkeye at times, and then it was revealed that Clint Barton actually had a family! Later in the interview, Whedon talked about how this aspect of the film helped make the decision of Pietro’s death. “Every, oh, look, you know, we’re not all going to make it through this and we cut to him looking at his family, and I’m just like, “How many ways can I be, ‘Oh, he’s safe. He’s on the, oh, he has to get off the boat. Oh, he’s—’ and I just wanted to like, you know, pull the switch out.” So yeah, that was the plan, but we did sort of keep it in our, in our pockets. We’re like maybe we’ll have to do a take backsies, but then he got shot a lot of times.”
But hey, this is the Marvel Cinematic Universe! How many times have you thought somebody or something died, but eventually got resurrected. Example, Jarvis was thought to be killed in Avengers: Age of Ultron and BAM, he got resurrected. So, here’s the big question: Will Quicksilver be brought back to life? When it was brought to Whedon’s attention that we didn’t have a funeral or see a gravestone in the end, Whedon responded, “We didn’t what? Oh, that’s true.”
As of now, it could go either way. He could stay dead, or be resurrected. What do you think? Sound off below with your thoughts!
