Aaron Taylor-Johnson is almost definitely Quicksilver in the Avengers sequel


by Sean O'Neal October 30, 2013
Circumventing the Samuel L. Jackson gossip mill and making the announcement 
through more mainstream, less badass channels, The Wrap says that Aaron 
Taylor-Johnson will definitely play Quicksilver in the upcoming Avengers: Age 
Of Ultron. Johnson’s casting had been the presumed frontrunner for the role for 
months alongside Elizabeth Olsen’s the Scarlet Witch, though the potential for 
conflict with his press tour for that Godzilla reboot—plus the fact that no one 
straight-up asked Samuel L. Jackson about it—prevented any official 
confirmation. But supposedly that’s all been worked out now, as Taylor-Johnson 
joins Olsen as one of the two mutant twins sired by Magneto—as well as one of 
two Quicksilvers you’ll see on the screen soon, given that Evan Peters also 
plays him in X-Men: Days Of Future Past. And since Fox and Marvel are 
reportedly, if privately, kind of pissed about the overlap, Taylor-Johnson’s 
version will be forced to make no mention of either Magneto or the word 
“mutant” when explaining why he moves so fast. (“I do a lot of cocaine,” 
Taylor-Johnson’s Quicksilver will say, before begging James Spader’s Ultron to 
just float him another gram, because he knows he’s good for it.)
