Aaron Taylor-Johnson has officially joined the cast of Avengers: Age of Ultron according to The Wrap. The star of Kick-Ass will play Pietro Maximoff aka Quicksilver. Still no word on who will play the speedster’s twin sister Wanda aka Scarlet Witch. Elizabeth Olsen is said to be in negotiations for the role of the mutant with “hex” power.
The hotheaded hero is devoted to protecting his fragile but powerful sister. Quicksilver was married to Crystal of the Inhumans. They have a daughter named Luna. Inhumans could be the next Marvel movie franchise so we could see Quicksilver speed over to a second Marvel team movie.
Pietro and Wanda are the children of mutant children of Magneto and first appeared as part of his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants in the pages of X-Men but later reformed and became Avengers. Evan Peters will play Pietro in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Avengers: Age of Ultron arrives in 2015.
