Fox screws over Marvel bwahahahahahahahahahahhahaah

[Random Axe]

This was a total jerk move on Singer's andd Fox's part but I find it very funny. Singer just cast Quicksilver for his film before Marvel could finish their script or cast the part. Whedon's been saying he has a brother/sister combo in store for Avenger 2. Now he may have to already go to re-writes. It appears both studios have dual rights to the character, so as soon as Fox heard about Whedon's plans, they cast the dude from Kick-A s s to play him. I'm sure Marvel can still use Quicksilver but why would they want to since he'll be in X-men a year prior? Disney just needs to buy back ALL rights to all characters and be done with this nonsense. It's not like they don't have the funds to do so.

Singer's next one sure seems like its going to be a busy mess of characters.

[Operation:Mego]

Why can't he be in both films? Donner has said that she'd like the X-Films to be in the same 'world' as the MCU.

[jwyblejr]

From what I heard,Quicksilver wasn't suppose to have any ties to any of of the X-Men or his father in the Avengers sequel. How will this affect that?

[Random Axe]

Well, considering X-Men will come out prior to Avengers, they will have already established the Magneto lineage and will be near impossible to not make the same reference in Avengers 2, so they might just scrap plans to use him. Maybe they'll use the Whizzer, now known as the Atlanta Blur. I started writing the previous sentence in jest, but that might be a cool way to go. Here's the modern version...

[hedrap]

Fiege has Singer's X-Men script. He knew he Quicksilver was in it while Whedon was working on Avengers 2. This looks like another branch into shared universe territory, just as Sony speculation they're going to sell a percentage of Spidey. That has to be to back to Marvel.

...and I don't think it's an accident this has come out at the same time WB is talking about incoporating Arrow into a larger DCU.

First off, I fail to see how it is funny that Marvel got screwed, second, I don't see how the character can't be used in both?

[enyawd72]

^ What would REALLY be funny is if and when they ever make a Shazam movie, every time Billy Batson says "SHAZAM!" it's dubbed over with Jim Nabor's voice.

[B-Lister]

I don't see this as too big a problem, to be honest. It is just a ****ing match between Singer and Whedon.

One Singer has no hope of winning.

Singer seems to not be content with ruining X-Men, and stalling DC's films, now he wants to ruin the Marvel Movieverse? If Whedon wanted to, he could Rook Singer by putting Quicksilver in a post credit cameo in Dark World, or even on Agents of Shield.

[clemso]

I'd sooner have Ant Man and Wasp in Avengers anyway.

[madmarva]

^ me too. When did Quicksilver become a popular character?

The only interesting thing about him is his sister and daddy.

[hedrap]

Consider Days of Future is time-travel, and Wolverine ends up in a few different eras.

Quicksilver could easily fit this story, and appear in A2. I wouldn't be surprised if Scarlet Witch's hex powers are explained as her being transplanted from the Days/Future alternate to the Avengers prime. Like reverse Abrams Trek.

[VintageMike]

I could easily see him being in both, since the time frames of the movies are different and the actual releases are a year apart.

[Operation:Mego]

Whedon confirmed on Fallon tonight that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch will appear in Avengers 2.

[johnmiic]

Whedon's been saying he has a brother/sister combo in store for Avenger 2.

Saying he has a brother/sister combo in store for Avengers 2 is kind'a vague. There are many such characters in the Marvel Universe. Couldn't he just as easily be talking of the brother/sister from Alpha Flight; Aurora & Northstar? Is there anything confirming Quicksilver was going to be in Avengers 2?

Whedon confirmed on Fallon tonight that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch will appear in Avengers 2.

Ooops. Did't see that post. Sorry.
