AVENGERS 2 Officially Casts “Quicksilver”
After months in the rumor mill, Marvel finally confirmed who’s going to play Pietro Maximoff a.k.a. the speedster Quicksilver. Quicksilver is set to appear with his sister Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch) in the highly anticipated Avengers sequel Age Of Ultron.
Quicksilver is going to be played by none other than Kick-Ass star Aaron Taylor-Johnson who has reportedly just signed the contract and finalized the deal. Johnson has been long rumored to play Quicksilver for quite some time now but scheduling conflicts with Godzilla’s filming which he is also set to be in, caused a bit of delay in finalizing the terms.
In some sort of competition, FOX studios also have their own version of Quicksilver showing up on Days of Future Past and will be played by Evan Peters who ironically was also part of Kick Ass before.
Avengers: Age Of Ultron is set to be released May 01, 2015. Directed and Written by Joss Whedon, Produced by Marvel Studios and Distributed by Walt Disney Motion Pictures.
