WANDAVISION: Marvel Studios Considered Other Names For Evan Peters' Ralph Bohner Says Teyonah Parris

WandaVision star Teyonah Parris has revealed that "Ralph Bohner" wasn't the only name used on the set of the Disney+ series when the true identity of Evan Peter's "Pietro Maximoff" was finally unveiled...

One of WandaVision's biggest surprises saw Dark Phoenix star Evan Peters reprise the role of Quicksilver, albeit the Marvel Cinematic Universe's version (who had previously been portrayed by Aaron Taylor-Johnson). This led to speculation relating to everything from the Multiverse to Mephisto, but the truth was that "Pietro Maximoff" was, in fact, out-of-work actor Ralph Bohner. 

Upon arriving in Westview, Agatha Harkness took control of Ralph and decided to make him pose as Pietro in a bid to learn how Wanda had taken over the New Jersey town. 

Now, WandaVision star Teyonah Parris has revealed that "Ralph Bohner" wasn't the only name thrown around on set. "Even on the day there was another option. I might have said it for the camera. They’re like, ‘Just throw this in, just in case,’ but I can’t remember what it was."

"None topped Bohner, I’ll tell you that," she added. "That was very like, ‘Okay! We’re going for the Bohner!’"

We can't help but wish that one of those alternate names had been Simon Williams, as that could have opened the door to Peters returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Wonder Man. 

As things stand, his time in this shared world is already at an end, as is Quicksilver's. At this point, there's no way that character is going to return, and Taylor-Johnson's Pietro certainly won't be resurrected considering he was recently cast in Sony Pictures Kraven the Hunter

Should've named him Pietro Blue Balls because all this Quicksilver hype was for nothing.

People need to get over it. No one promised you any multiverse or Fox X-men inclusions.

@whalers - For real. I kept telling people to stay those expectations, but most kept insisting.

@whalers - true, but why have Evan Peters on the show if not have him play Fox's Quicksilver?

@RokoVII - why have JK simmons in Far From Home if not to have him play Raimi’s JJJ?

@whalers - What a stupid, fanboy thing to say. Marvel intentionally cast Evan Peters as Quicksilver for the very reason of convincing people of something more coming. Elizabeth Olsen even said “there’s an appearance coming on the level of Luke Skywalker in the Mandalorian.” They knew exactly what they were doing, you people are legit bootlickers. Lol

@whalers - my point is even though nobody promised it as you said, after it leaked that Evans was returning as Quicksilver it was perfectly normal to assume they are somehow introducing mutants/Foxs Xmen into the MCU.
And the Bohner twist was dumb

Honestly, the Fox X-men movies have pulled worse crap. This reveal was more enjoyable than that, so don’t think too hard about it people

It wasn't enjoyable at all. It was pointless.

Shit twist shit joke, would have been better if he actually was Quicksilver fron an alternative earth.

Hugh G. Rection? Drew Peacock?

Seriously though, dont understand why his name had to literally be a joke when the actor reveal was what was important 🤷‍♂️ could've named him anything

The name was something I'd expect out of an Adam Snadler comedy, but Peters was still entertaining to watch.

If you’re gonna pull a bait-and-switch that ruins people’s hopes and your story for a joke, the least you can do is make it funny, or at least above kindergarten level humor. Like someone seriously thought making someone’s last name “bohner” was funny? Jesus.

After what Wyatt Russell said about Marvel's strategy of testing the waters before making decisions, I don't think the door is closed on Evan Peters returning as Quicksilver.

ATJ is definitely not coming back, but WandaVision could've been a testing ground to see how MCU fans would react when a non-MCU version of a character gets introduced. Considering how WILDLY popular his appearance was, I don't think Feige is blind to that and he's probably coming up with a better reason for his return soon.

My theory? The end of the Phase 4 is Secret Wars (2015). Spider-Man and Dr. Strange will just be the beginning of the Multiverse, and the beginning of its destruction/reboot.

Yeah the name was silly and all but I haven't got bent all out of shape about it like some seemed to have. Just not that big a thing to me.
