Wished Quicksilver had made it

Given how much importance and role his twin sister has in the MCU, how do you see Pietro fit and play into this? His dynamics and relationships with others? His role in battle and teamwork? Should he be brought back after all this whole Doomsday/Secret Wars thing?

I’ve always felt it was a mistake to kill him off in AoU. With the sheer amount of heroes with different power and skill sets, we lost the one speedster. With the many faults of Eternals, I loved the way Makkari was portrayed in action. It would’ve great to see Quicksilver doing that too.

Makes more sense to bring a version of him back for the mutant saga anyway so this works out great

No offense to ATJ, but I'm good with Peters. He already has a relationship with the X-men (which will be great for Doomsday and Secret Wars) He took over Pietro in Wandavision and was amazing (until we found out the truth) and he was great in Agatha All Along. He's the only Pietro I see coming back for these upcoming Avengers films.

True, I think Peters was the better QS. I hope we get a mix of DoFP and Makkari portrayal of action. Not whatever we got in AoU…

Gambitismyheart2026-01-17 19:30

I loveeee Makkari. But I *think* Kevin made it clear that we won't be seeing any of the Eternals again any time soon, if ever.

z4guy2026-01-17 19:32

I didn’t mean literally Makkari the person. Just the way the speedster action was portrayed in the movie.

Gambitismyheart2026-01-17 19:46

Oh sorry! I read that wrong. And I didn't mean the Russos, I meant Kevin. Haha

The trouble is that there seems to be no interest at Marvel in bringing Elizabeth Olsen back to play Wanda. In that case, it makes little sense to bring in anyone as Quicksilver.

Gambitismyheart2026-01-18 15:23

We don't need Wanda back for him to return. He can absolutely continue his arc with Billy and Tommy.

Cultural_Comfort58942026-01-17 19:29

They disappeared Hulk and Thor

Nerfed Vision

And murked Quicksilver

I believe for the sake of storytelling vs it was the story to tell

And I can respect that

z4guy2026-01-17 19:36

I know, but damn… a core member of the comic Avengers making his first and last appearance in one movie? He coulda lasted at least one more movie, and that would make Wanda’s trauma even more emphatic.

Cultural_Comfort58942026-01-17 19:39

“ You didn’t see that coming “- Quicksilver

A brilliant and surprising foreshadowing

z4guy2026-01-17 19:40

Touché

His death was a shame. The moment felt very Whedonesque.

It sucks that it wasn't a creative decision as much as a business one because the rights between the two twins were shared with Fox. 2014 saw the introduction of two versions of Quicksilver, so I guess one had to go.

I think it would be a mistake to bring ATJ back into the role - his is one of the only "permanent" deaths in the MCU. If he hadn't already come in for WandaVision, I would definitely want Evan Peters to join the MCU because I loved his version of the character.

z4guy2026-01-17 19:53

Maybe I’m misremembering, because it more than 10 years ago (damn…💀) the stipulation was for Marvel Studios not make usage or association of mutants or X-Men, wasn’t it? Which is why they’re called “enhanced” in AoU, and they have human Sokovian parents, not Magneto. Correct me if I’m wrong.

dr_olfin2026-01-17 20:04

Yeah that's right. But they also didn't want to confuse audiences.

z4guy2026-01-17 21:41

True enough, Quicksilver was always more X-men related and Scarlet Witch is more Avengers-related.

But now, no more BS movie rights, so we can have our cake and eat it too. :)

dr_olfin2026-01-17 22:18

More like have our Quicksilver and Speed too

Jemie_Bridges2026-01-18 08:13

No. Quicksilver was definitely 2nd gen avengers and Probably more consistent on the roster than the big 3 til 2010.

OmnipotentHype2026-01-17 19:43

I hope he'll be one of the characters brought back after Secret Wars. And no, I don't want Peters. People like his Quicksilver because of the slow motion scenes but ATJ's was closer to being Pietro.

MX24192026-01-17 19:59

Agreed. Peters version of his powers is cool but it gets boring for me. I want to see Pietro use his powers in real time. I wonder who they will cast in the new era.

JigglesTheBiggles2026-01-17 19:44

Nah some characters need to die.

z4guy2026-01-17 21:47

Agreed, so that stakes are high and felt.

But on his first and only appearance? He became more of a storytelling plot device rather than a character. This is Quicksilver, a core X-Men and Avengers member. Not Uncle Ben.

SonicFlash012026-01-17 20:50

With how Wanda managed to literally manifest two child souls into existence (unknowingly) in Wandavision, are we sure Pietro didn't make it as well (somewhere)? Also, a separate Vision soul. Shouldn't we *expect* that she did that after what we've learned?

_PrincessOats2026-01-17 21:16

… yes.

Grayx_28872026-01-18 01:34

If Quicksilver had lived at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron, I think he would have been on Teen Captain America during the Civil War because he is very protective of his sister and he would eventually have his own family in Avengers: Infinity War.

tehCharo2026-01-18 10:36

Blame Fox.

1. superspeed is too OP. the only reason the evan peters quicksilver was omitted from the end of that movie was that he would have trivialized the whole thing. the mcu is suffering enough creative problems right now without adding to them.

2. aaron taylor johnson only signed on because he knew he was being killed off. more than one film with him was never in the cards.

3. the business/marketing concerns expressed in other comments on this thread were valid then, and no longer are. but #1 and #2 remain.

Ultron_Sentry_092026-01-19 02:33

Wouldnt have been my first call. But…down in the real world we’re forced to make ugly choices.

Cautious_Mission_4382026-01-20 14:27

Both Evan Peters and Aaron need to return in doomsday and secret wars then once the reset/reboot happens they should recast the character along with recasting scarlet witch wish they never killed off Quicksilver
