Despite Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver being revealed recently to be joining Earth's mightiest heroes in The Avengers 2015 sequel, it seems the latter character will first appear in 20th Century Fox's 2014 mutant assembly, X-Men: Days of Future Past. Director Bryan Singer has just tweeted that actor Evan Peters (Kick-Ass, Never Back Down) is joining the ensemble cast of the “In-between-quel.” In other words, Fox just got the jump on Marvel Studios & Avengers 2 director Joss Whedon.

Before he was an #Avenger, he was just a REALLY fast kid. Thrilled to say #EvanPeters is joining #XMen #DaysOfFuturePast as #Quicksilver.

It's well known that both studios complicatedly hold the rights to Quicksilver, aka Pietro Maximoff, and both, therefore, could use him on the big-screen. However, Marvel Studios wouldn't be able to acknowledge the fact that he's a mutant and son of Magneto (who is being portrayed by Ian McKellen in X-Men: Days of Future Past); an advantage that Fox has. There's no word on whether the film will feature Quicksilver's twin sister, Scarlet Witch aka Wanda Maximoff, but what could Quicksilver's inclusion in Days of Future Past mean for The Avengers 2? What do you think?

Anyhow, X-Men: Days of Future Past is currently filming, and Evan Peters joins Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Patrick Stewart, Michael Fassbender,, Ian McKellen, Nicholas Hoult, Omar Sy, Peter Dinklage, Halle Berry, Adan Canto, Fan Bingbing, Anna Paquin, Daniel Cudmore, Ellen Page and Booboo Stewart. Bryan Singer directs the film in theaters on July 18, 2014!

Way to complicate things you incompetent asshole.

That. Is. Hilarious.

Kayo - 5/23/2013, 12:08 PM

What?

DefcoN - 5/23/2013, 12:08 PM

Darn you Singer! I'm sure you or Fox did that on purpose!

Curmudgeon - 5/23/2013, 12:08 PM

Begging the question: even though the two film studios' can't reference each other's films specifically, can this two-way character be played by the same actor in both company's films?

TheManFromMars - 5/23/2013, 12:08 PM

LOL

Dynamo - 5/23/2013, 12:08 PM

Oh this is gonna be good!

GuardianAngel - 5/23/2013, 12:09 PM

SLY AS A FOX!

Spidey91 - 5/23/2013, 12:09 PM

what? WHAT?! O___________O

IronDean2099 - 5/23/2013, 12:10 PM

[frick] you.

Dynamo - 5/23/2013, 12:10 PM

Maybe it's time Marvel Studios and Fox start playing ball?

TheManFromMars - 5/23/2013, 12:11 PM

Well, to be fair he already appeared in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

LucasMend - 5/23/2013, 12:12 PM

Fox, you're a really jealous kid huh. But is better to see the kids with the father. let's see how this turns out.

TheOneAboveAll - 5/23/2013, 12:12 PM

@ManfromMars right you are

DaenerysTargaryen - 5/23/2013, 12:12 PM

Marvel just got trolled!

Hellsing - 5/23/2013, 12:12 PM

Oh SNAP! besides this kind of being dick move(then again the character is fair game for both the studios). Evan Peters is a decent actor plus he'll probably be in for 2 minutes.

Tony93 - 5/23/2013, 12:13 PM

I bet hes going to be in both avengers and x men.. fox and marvel are up to something

Abary - 5/23/2013, 12:15 PM

That just ruined Joss Whedon's script. Now he has to do rewrites. Not cool Fox. Just. Not. Cool.

Tony93 - 5/23/2013, 12:15 PM

or they are probly gonna be two entirley different ppl but still named quiksilver LOL this is what happens when marvel heros are spanned out among different companies..
what a cluster [frick]

LMB10 - 5/23/2013, 12:16 PM

Don't worry though, when X-Men is shit we'll have the satisfaction of knowing there's a better Quicksilver coming.

marvelstudios - 5/23/2013, 12:17 PM

FKN ASSSHOLESSS!! WTF

Tony93 - 5/23/2013, 12:17 PM

I bet Joss will still have quicksilver and scarlet..

ALegendaryPanda - 5/23/2013, 12:17 PM

HAHAHAHA!! What a douche!

marvelstudios - 5/23/2013, 12:18 PM

Wait does this mean he won't be in the Avengers??

TheBeard - 5/23/2013, 12:18 PM

Supes17 - 5/23/2013, 12:18 PM
