"I think when it comes around and you're asking about 'Avengers 2' and Quicksilver and things like that, the thing is to think about that he's an abandoned child. Him and his sister are abandoned, they live in Eastern Europe," Aaron Taylor-Johnson told MTV News. "And if that's something that you can make work, then there's always... you gotta have something that you can relate to. So when it comes to that, then it's enjoyable. So I don't really care what it is you know. Oh man, [Joss Whedon] is awesome! He's a real dude and I love what he did with the first Avengers. He had a real though task to deal with and I think he put up brilliantly"



"I feel really flattered and honored that they came to me for that role," told Collider about Marvel Studios offering him the part. "I think he’s an interesting character and we’re just gonna keep going into that. I sat down with Joss, I think he’s awesome, I sat down with the guys at Marvel and they’re also great; I think it’d be interesting." What do you think?

So far starring Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Cobie Smulders, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson, with Kick-Ass actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson in negotiations to join, Marvel's The Avengers: Age of Ultron is written and directed by Joss Whedon, and is scheduled to start filming in March in the United Kindom for a May 1, 2015 release date.

By this point, is it safe to say that he's our Quicksilver for Avengers: Age of Ultron?

So sad we are getting this stupid character before Flash. And too bad they will be in the movie and not Antman or Wasp.

Emily Blunt for Witch. Give her another chance to get into the MCU.

People are going to hate me but I'm more excited for Evan Peters portrayal. But nonetheless excited for both.

The way he's talking about Quicksilver basically confirms he has the part.

@AvatarIII I would love that! but she's quite a bit older than Aaron and they're supposed to be twins. I'd love to see Emily as Wasp though!

Aaron's a really good actor, I'm glad they're giving them their Eastern European routes!
I'm excited to see both Quicksilver's, but I'm very disappointed Scarlet Witch isn't in Days of Future Past :( so yeah, Avengers wins for me.

I don't know. He is cool, but when I think of quicksilver I only like the ultimates version. Where is very pompous and stuck up and has a very unique looks to him, I like Taylor but I don't think for quicksilver. The dude they got to play gambit would be good.

Avengers 2 is gonna be great! Wish we didn't have to wait 22 months for it. Oh well! Might have to go to Comic Con just on the strength of getting to see some footage of this, not to mention Star Wars, and (dare I say it) Supes v. Bats. Probably not going to see MOS2 footage since we don't know when it's going to be shot, but hopefully they'll have something interesting.

Great time to be a CBM fan!!!!

He's talking about it like its a sure thing he's playing QuickSilver. So Just sign the damn contract already so we can move on to sexy pictures of the women they sign to play Scarlett Witch.

I still say Camilla Belle for Scarlet Witch.
She always gives me the "Gypsy" vibe.
Killuminatic
Killuminatic - 7/29/2013, 1:00 PM
^Ah, Camilla... Yep, pretty good choice. Haven't seen much of her lately since that crappy 10000 BC and that fairly ok Push. But yeah, she seems like a good choice.

It sounds like they've pretty much cast Aaron Johnson.
Meaning that Saoirse Ronan who was rumoured to be Scarlet Witch, is probably getting the part too!

She's one of the best young actresses I've ever seen, she'll definitely do the character justice. She looks like Aaron too which is a bonus.

What part @MrCBM56? He's only being used for an action scene. That's confirmed by Singer. Maybe they do more but that film is going to be focused more on Wolvering, Magneto and Prof. X. The Quicksilver in the Avengers, along with Scarlet Witch, will actually be key to the Ultron story according to Joss.

But I do agree that he's literally confirmed for the role. As long as the ink dries on the contract. We saw how things fell through with Jason Momoa for GotG. But Aaron seems closer in talks.

I'll go ahead an pencil him in as Quicksilver, excited about that. But who will be Scarlet Witch. Surprised that they wouldn't try to lock her down before Quicksilver.
Reasonnnn
Reasonnnn - 7/29/2013, 1:03 PM
^ Wow, they really do look like siblings. The only problem is that she's only 19. I know Marvel is trying to get younger, but I have to assume mid-20s at the least.

superherofan21 - 7/29/2013, 1:07 PM
Okay, so he and his sister are abandoned in the movie? Interesting... So, I guess that's how their going to get around Magneto being their father.

@Reasonnn Ronan has been playing characters way older than her for years and she has the maturity to pull it off. It's quite odd actually, her love interests being way older than her ... kinda creepy, but you don't really realise when you watch her.

Marvels Quicksilver will be better presented than Fox. There is no doubt. I would like a clearer synopsis though. I have a feeling instead of Stark and Jarvis creating Ultron perhaps AIM and MODOK possibly a returning Justin Hammer creates Ultron based on Stark tech. Thus going from a Masters of Evil type group to deal with and ending up with everyone having to co exist to deal with Ultron.

Saying that he's more interested in "character aspect than the power aspect,"

Bryan Singer has no idea what that means...

@CherryBomb very true (Love Hanna and Atonement); the thing I love about Marvel is that they know how to cast well. I trust them.
Reasonnnn
Reasonnnn - 7/29/2013, 1:15 PM
@AlexanderLykins Yeah, she's been working for auteurs for the majority of her career. This would be her first legit studio/blockbuster role if she truly is in running for the witch.
ParisSun
ParisSun - 7/29/2013, 1:17 PM
Shhh. Don't mention the name Saoirse Ronan, it drives some posters insane. I like her as a young actress, she has the acting and action chops. I suspect that SW will be a competitve role though.

My top three choices for SW are Saoirse Ronan, Emilia Clarke and Emma Watson.

Can't wait to see Quicksilver in action. One of the great things about MoS was Faora. She's a great example of what super speed can look like on film without being hokey.

CherryBomb
CherryBomb - 7/29/2013, 1:17 PM

@AlexanderLykins Yeah, it's the same with Jennifer Lawrence, she gained a good reputation for being an indie-film girl and she, like Ronan, doesn't really like the spotlight, signing with Marvel is a huge huge thing, but I think she'll do it.

@Martian Someone is salty about the lack of non-Superman/Batman movies.

I just hope they don't just use Scarlet Witch as a magic user and focus on her probability manipulation, with Magic as a secondary thing.

I'm gonna be happy that ScarJo can step aside from being the only female Avenger. She's one of the most beautiful women in the world but her acting just really doesn't do it for me, she doesn't have the mystery that Natasha should have.
Reasonnnn
Reasonnnn - 7/29/2013, 1:22 PM
@CherryBomb Agreed, as much as I love ScarJo (Lost in Translation is probably one of my fav films of all time), I think Emily Blunt would have killed it as the Black Widow.
