WandaVision Spoilers
The MCU’s version of Quicksilver was played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson. This Pietro Maximoff was killed off in Avengers: Age of Ultron and we haven’t seen him since. Fans were wondering if Taylor-Johnson would return in Disney+’s WandaVision. Then the show brought in Fox’s version, played by Evan Peters. Which, made people think that this was the show’s way of merging the Disney and Fox Marvel Universe. However, this was just a tease and Peters, in fact; was only playing a normal guy named Ralph Bohner.
But, what about Taylor-Johnson? Matt Shakman told ComicBook.com that they originally thought of bringing the former Quicksilver actor:
“There definitely were conversations about bringing Aaron Taylor-Johnson back early on, I think Kevin [Feige] talked about this publicly. But it was ruled out fairly early on and we’ve already got Vision from back and so Agatha is bringing Pietro into this world, fake Pietro, into this world to further her agenda.
And so having that be a recast Pietro worked on our meta level, but it also made sense thematically when we were talking about grief, which is that grief clouds your judgment, you’re willing to believe things you wouldn’t. You’re living in this fantasy of, ‘If this is my brother, even though I don’t know or feel that he’s my brother, I’m willing to accept it because I miss him so much.'”
Shakman also said that there were never considerations to bring any other Age of Ultron characters back:
“Some mischievous person added James Spader into our IMDB page years ago and he’s never been at the show. Ultron, I mean, the character is referenced to course, Geraldine brings him up. He’s an important part of Wanda’s past, but he didn’t have a role to play in the story that we were building.”
Are you disappointed that Taylor-Johnson wasn’t brought into WandaVision?
