Quicksilver (Evan Peters) was a scene stealing smash in X-Men: Days of Future Past. The super fast mutant was recruited by Wolverine and Professor X to break Magneto out of prison in what might be the coolest scene in an X-movie since Nightcrawler’s White House attack.

 

In the comics Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch (Pietro and Wanda) are children of Magneto but left his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants to become Avengers. Fans got their first look at the twins (Aaron Taylor-Johnson & Elizabeth Olsen of Godzilla) in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and we’ll learn just how they differ from their comic book counterparts in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

 

Back to Fox’s X-Men, Quicksilver dropped a line hinting that he may be the son of Magneto. In the film’s final moments Peter was holding a little girl – a sister perhaps? Continue reading POLARIS for X-MEN Movies?

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

Joss Whedon is talking about the evil artificial intelligence Earth’s Mightiest Heroes will fight in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

 

“I’m having a blast with Ultron. He’s not a creature of logic — he’s a robot who’s genuinely disturbed. We’re finding out what makes him menacing and at the same time endearing and funny and strange and unexpected, and everything a robot never is,” the director says in an upcoming 300th issue of Empire Magazine.

 

Ultron (played by James Spader) is just one of the villains the Avengers will take on in the sequel. Continue reading JOSS WHEDON On AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Villains

After playing supporting roles in Fantastic Four and Avengers epics, the Inhumans are front and center of Marvel Comics but does it mean they’re on the fast track for a movie?

 

Fox is in control of the X-Men and Fantastic Four movie franchises. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch (mutant children of Magneto) were created in the pages of X-Men but became fan-favorite Avengers.

 

In comics there’s been a sudden surge in the Inhuman population that will be explored in a new series by rising star writer Charles Soule and superstar artist Joe Madureira. Fans are speculating Inhumans could be next for a movie given a new Guardians of the Galaxy comic was launched a year before the movie.
