Thrilled to say #EvanPeters is joining #XMen #DaysOfFuturePast as #Quicksilver.” However, that tweet has since been deleted in favor of the much-simpler “Thrilled to say #EvanPeters is joining #XMen #DaysOfFuturePast as #Quicksilver.” Did Fox want him to take down the first tweet to dispel the idea that a crossover is in the works…or to prevent such a crossover from being spoiled? If it happens, if Peters appears as Quicksilver in both films, it’s going to take some tricky maneuvering. Singer even mentioned Quicksilver’s “Avenger” status in his tweet: “Before he was an #Avenger, he was just a REALLY fast kid. That begs a big question: Could we have our first big-screen crossover between the X-Men and Avengers movie franchises? It’s a distinct possibility. Joss Whedon, director of The Avengers 2, has said he intends for both Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch to appear in his movie.
But eventually he became a good guy and even a member of the Avengers. What’s interesting about the character is that when Stan Lee first introduced him in X-Men #4 in 1964 he was a villain - a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, eventually revealed to be, along with his sister Scarlet Witch, the child of Magneto. The incredibly speedy mutant is kind of like Marvel’s version of The Flash, in that his superpower is simply that he can run really, really fast. A crossover between The Avengers and X-Men? It’s looking more likely than ever! X-Men: Days of Future Past director Bryan Singer tweeted that American Horror Story actor Evan Peters, 26, has been cast as Quicksilver.
