Got it? Right.Īnyway, because the Avengers franchise has a ridiculously good track record with casting perfect actors for each role, most Marvel fans assumed that Evan Peters’ silver-haired dork Quicksilver would be kind of embarrassing, while Aaron Taylor-Johnson would be the “good” version.
X-Men Quicksilver is Evan Peters, the guy who played Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s sidekick in the movie Kick-Ass. Because superhero movies aren’t complicated enough already.Įvan peters vs aaron taylor-johnson as quicksilver, who does it better? /maRQRStXUCĪvengers Quicksilver is Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the guy who played Kick-Ass in the movie Kick-Ass. These are two separate versions of the character, played by different actors and existing in different universes. Avengers: Age of Ultron will include Quicksilver as well, although just to be clear, this is not a crossover. (The goggles, by the way, seem to be ordinary swimming goggles that he wears to protect his eyes when he’s running at super-speed.)Īside from the costume issue, the other concern was that X-Men isn’t the only major superhero franchise with Quicksilver in it. His shoes and jacket were almost certainly spraypainted silver in his mom’s garage.
As a guy who is always slightly ahead of the game, his fashion sense is more 1980s punk than the other characters. The good news is that Days of Future Past had a good explanation for this ridiculous-looking costume: Quicksilver is a teen dweeb who dresses like that because he genuinely thinks it looks cool. The other plays Quicksilver in my porn parody /twTLNiLJnL One of these actors wears a bad wig, fake sideburns, and cheap costume.
Why? Well, first of all there was the costume, which some people pointed out looked sillier than the costume worn by Quicksilver in the X-Men porn parody.
Forget epic battle sequences: Watching Quicksilver zip around a bunch of prison guards while listening to Jim Croce is just plain fun.īefore Days of Future Past came out, fans were doubtful that the movie version of B-list superhero Quicksilver would be anything other than embarrassing. Anyone who saw X-Men: Days of Future Past will already have freaked out about the Quicksilver scene.
