Many fans have wondered, though improbable, if Joss Whedon would draw inspiration from Mark Millar's controversial run on The Ultimates comic series, in regards to Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Though certain aspects are unlikely to translate on-screen in next year's Avengers: Age of Ultron, Aaron Taylor-Johnson revealed to IGN that The Ultimates is among those that himself and Olsen are drawing inspiration from. "I think The Ultimates and things like that have sort of a-- have quite a relative, close sort of thing to The Avengers and the first one" Taylor-Johnson said, "so, you know you look at those but there's a whole backlog of stuff, you know, that knowledge on those characters. [Quicksilver]'s who I've got my eyes on." Johnson was then asked if he'd been keeping an eye on his Kick-Ass co-star Evan Peters, who will be playing a different version of the character in the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past. "Yeah they'll do it very different which is great and I think that's important you know, cause it's totally different. I think also that's sorta set in the 70's or something? I'm excited in seeing that though." Peters' raved performance has been a hot topic of discussion in early reviews, so Taylor-Johnson certainly has his work cut out for him. In a separate interview, Elizabeth Olsen was asked how she was preparing for the role. "I wanted to get to know as many of the stories as I could regardless of it being relevant," said Olsen, "so I just asked Marvel to give me like a big, bible-binder of almost every single comic that she's really been present in and I just dove straight into that and it's pretty fun reading 'cause she's pretty awesome."
