Joss Whedon Teases Quicksilver And Scarlet Witch's "Huge" Role In THE AVENGERS 2

As you will already know by now, Bryan Singer and 20th Century Fox created a fair bit of controversy when it was revealed that they also had plans for the character of Quicksilver in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Regardless, that hasn't stopped The Avengers 2 director Joss Whedon from forging on with his plans to use him and his sister the Scarlet Witch, and at the Saturn Awards, Whedon would reveal that they do indeed play a major role in the movie. "It's a huge part of the movie, I'm really excited about it and I don't know what they're doing. I'm determinedly not knowing. They'll do their thing and I have to do mine." This shouldn't really come as too much of a surprise. While Singer reportedly only wants Quicksilver for a single action sequence, Marvel Studios and Joss Whedon clearly have big plans for his and the Scarlet Witch's introduction to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. What do you guys think? Sound off in the usual place!

I agree I would personally rather see Wasp and Ant-Man in the movie. But of course the Marvelites will say these were the original members blah blah blah.....

Quicksilver is my favorite speedster in comics! Seeing him on the big screen will be awesome!

I'd rather have a witch and a speedster at my side than two bug impersonators if you're going to throw down with a super villain.

i bet fox only use quicksilver & scarlet witch in cameo roles,i believe they've got too many other characters in it(x-men days of future past) for them to have anything bigger than a cameo.

Wanda & Peatro are two of my favorite Mutants characters in the Marvel Universe. I am excited to see them as part of the Avengers.

I'm not concerned about Ant-Man and Wasp. Ant-man is getting his own movie and where there's Ant-man, the Wasp can't be far behind. In the meantime, I can't wait to see what Joss has in store for the Avengers.

I will reserve all judgment and wait for the first trailer of Avengers 2 so Joss can highlight Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. I don't know why Joss is so excited over them and why they are his faves. I'm sure in the movie, Joss' fanboyism for them will be apparent (hopefully in the way they show their powers and if they are really bad to the bone as he wants them to be).

SW will be a big factor I'm sure with her reality warping powers and will link somehow to Thanos probably.

Fox only using them for one action sequence sounds like they're trying to use them first. It makes no sense to use them for that brief of a moment.

Oh well DC/WB another example of what happens when you have your thumbs up your A$$ all the time.

Trust me this is going to be hilarious how Fox and Marvel/Disney portray them. You know jabs are going to be thrown at each other eventually.

Ok, just a thought, but the wonder woman movie idea...I think that would work if done similar to the 300 series. Brutal and epic.

So I'm guessing the Hulk won't have a huge role?

Can't even get a [frick]ing Hulk movie now we got Magneto's brats taking up Hulk's screentime.

Like Scarlet Witch warps reality to combine the Spider-Man, X-Men and Marvel Universe into one

TayDee - 6/28/2013, 3:43 PM
Yeah you're just guessing. The Hulk didn't have a huge role in the first one. He only had a total of 8 minutes.

Ok first off lets not start a DC/Marvel Debate we have had enough of those. Secondly I don't think them being in the Avengers is right. In my opinion there are more deserving characters who should be added to the roster like Black Panther or Ant Man. But I mainly feel this strongly about it because they are X-men characters first. And what makes them so interesting is that there mutants. Having both characters in X-men days of future past and avengers 2 is bound to cause confusion among non comic book fans.

Seriously can't wait to see Wanda & Pietro. Two of the coolest Marvel characters ever. The SON OF M mini-series was awesome, and made me like Quicksilver more than ever when it came out.

And I'm really curious to see what Wanda's powers are gonna look like onscreen. Hopefully she loses control, and the only one who can really stop her is Dr. Strange.
Wishlist.

The reason Josh gets scoops is because whatever the [frick] y'all Brits got in that tea of yours is keeping him up. I mean Ror lives in Ireland so he drinks every meal & nail I think lives in NYC and he's also a Mets fan so he drinks.

Josh probably runs on tea, coffee, and five hour energy drink things.

@DarthTesla I became a fan of Quicksilver after Son of M series! It was so engrossing.

I by no means dislike Josh i was just curious because he seems to be the main contributor regardless of wether or not what he contributes is regurgitated garbage it is news to me.

Singer, instead of speaking over and over about the character, he is just doing the movie.

While Whedon cant stop talking about them. Yes, they ask him about it, but he could easily say "I cant talk about the new characters yet"

So.... this feels off to me. Sorry Whedon. You really CARE about them using the character, so dont act like you dont, because its not credible.
