IGN's Scott Collura talked to Evan Peters this week about his take on Quicksilver, the tech involved in bringing the character's super-speed effect to life, and the fact that there will be another version of him in Joss Whedon's Avengers: Age of Ultron.

"They used motion capture," Peters said of the speed effect. "I don't know what I can say about it and not get in trouble, I really don't. But they shot a lot of slow motion. They brought in an amazing camera, the Phantom -- it’s, like, 3600 frames per second. They brought in these huge, bright lights and did some amazing, amazing stuff with it. I'm excited to see it all cut together and check all that out. It’s going to be really cool."


Peters also confirmed that Quicksilver spends his screen time with Hugh Jackman and James McAvoy in the 1970s portion of the time-travelling film (as opposed to the dystopian future world that's also presented). Also, he'll play a "twitchy" teenager in Days of Future Past, which doesn't quite match with how the character is portrayed in the comics.

"Bryan Singer has a lot of creative freedom on these X-Men movies -- he can do pretty much whatever he wants with them," the actor says of the changes, while also noting that the possibility of comics fans reacting negatively to any alterations was definitely discussed while making the film. "There’s always that risk, but I think at the end of the day, you want to try to make the best movie you can. You kinda gotta go with your gut on that."




The ultimate X-Men ensemble fights a war for the survival of the species across two time periods in X-Men: Days of Future Past. The beloved characters from the original X-Men film trilogy join forces with their younger selves from X-Men: First Class in an epic battle that must change the past – to save our future.


The cast features characters from the original trilogy of X-Men films and the prequel X-Men: First Class. James McAvoy and Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Michael Fassbender and Ian McKellen as Magneto, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Anna Paquin as Rogue, Shawn Ashmore as Iceman, Ellen Page as Kitty Pryde, Peter Dinklage as Bolivar Trask, Omar Sy as Bishop, Halle Berry as Storm, and Daniel Cudmore as Colossus.

without jumping too much to a conclusion...soooo Fox which owns the rights to the X-Men universe and can actually say "QuickSilver","Pietro Maximoff" and "Mutant" as well as make him Magneto's son possibly and probably will not do so but actually take creative liberties.
Meanwhile Joss Whedon/Marvel haters will continue their argument that Joss shouldn't use Quicksilver since he can't say MUTANT or MAGNETO.
Good luck Singer, good luck Fox. After this installment please go ahead and reboot this universe right alongside the Fantastic Four and try to at least get somewhat close to canon and the established characters from the books.

lol wow

So people complain how in th AoU how Quicksilver wont be Magnetos son or a mutant

then we get this news that he is a twitchy teenager and that Bryan Singer "can do pretty much whatever he wants with them"

lol, so much for faithful

I still believe AoU will have the better incarnation, being as Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch will have large roles in the film and they have a better chance of keeping intact their personalities from the comics

In DoFP it seems Quicksilver wont have much screen time

going from is comments it seems Singer is really just making his own thing out of this movie (which is surprising)

i understand making a good movie part, but to show respect to the comics you can at least TRY to be as faithful as possible, idk its my two cents

Oh, he can be Magneto's son and a mutant in Avengers 2... Marvel just can't mention either of those 2 things

Can't say "Magneto"... cant say "mutant"

A "twitchy" speedster? Was Singer watching Over the Hedge or something? I guess Singer's QS will be like Steve Carrell's twitchy squirrel in that movie.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. It's funny how people all of a sudden don't like Singer' QS. You all knew this was coming, it's nothing new from the Fox/Singer camp.

But like @World said,
the main difference between this and whedons version is whedon actually wanted to use them in a story. singer just wanted to "first" it.
