Of all the Marvel heroes who would have thought Quicksilver would be the co-star of two major movie franchises and the eye of storm among fans.

The twins are the children of Magneto who first appeared in the X-Men comics but later reformed and became Avengers so both Marvel Studios and Fox can use them.

 

Both versions of Quicksilver will differ from his comic book origins. X-Men Producer/writer Simon Kinberg says they had not anticipated the mixed fan reaction to having the mutant speedster in the sequel Continue reading QUICKSILVER CONTROVERSY In X-MEN DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

The globetrotting stars of X-Men: Days of Future Past are racing to premiere events on nearly every continent. Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) and Peter Dinklage (Bolivar Trask) brought the X-Men experience to Melbourne, Australia.
