by Derek KraneveldtOctober 30, 2013

Briefly: The deal was rumoured to be complete early this month, but now that rumour has been made official: Aaron Taylor-Johnson is Quicksilver in The Avengers: Age of Ultron.

This, of course, is the second Quicksilver to be cast this year, as Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past (which just got its first trailer yesterday) will feature American Horror Story‘s Evan Peters as the character.

Rumour: Aaron Taylor-Johnson Confirmed For ‘The Avengers: Age Of Ultron’

by Derek KraneveldtOctober 4, 2013

Briefly: All the way back in June it was rumoured that Marvel was looking at Kick-Ass himself, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, for the role of Quicksilver in The Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Today, Samuel Jackson informed us that Elizabeth Olsen would indeed be playing Quicksilver’s sister in the film, and it looks like Johnson’s casting may be confirmed as well.

Latino-Review has reported that Johnson’s deal is done, and that he will indeed portray Quicksilver in the Avengers sequel. It’s not official yet, but El Miyambe sounds pretty confident about this one. No other information has been revealed about the casting.

Quicksilver is also set to appear in Bryan Singer’s upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past, and American Horror Story‘s Evan Peters landed that role. Is there anyone else you’d rather see play the character in Age of Ultron? What do you think of the brother/sister duo now that they’ve both (allegedly) been cast? Sound out below! The Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theatres on May 1st, 2015!

Marvel Wants Aaron Taylor-Johnson For Quicksilver In ‘Avengers 2’

by Derek KraneveldtJune 7, 2013

Kick-Ass star Aaron Taylor-Johnson may soon be taking on the role of another hero. Deadline has learned that Marvel Studios is currently courting the actor for the role of Quicksilver in Joss Whedon’s 2015 release, The Avengers 2. There are alleged scheduling conflicts that may prevent the deal from happening, but I’m sure hoping that things work out as I believe this is a fantastic casting choice.

X-Men: Days of Future Past director Bryan Singer recently revealed that he would also be using Quicksilver in his film. That role went to American Horror Story‘s Evan Peters, which is also a great choice. The Avengers 2 will also feature Quicksilver’s twin sister, Scarlet Witch.

What do you think of the news? Would you like to see Aaron in the role, or is there a better choice out there? The Avengers 2 hits theatres on May 1st, 2015!
