Fox screws over Marvel bwahahahahahahahahahahhahaah

This isn't a fight. Something is coming with Days/Future, where I think we're going to see a "reset" of the X-Men so it has more continuity with Avengers/Spidey. This way, they can bring back characters with new actors and keep previous ones.

The addition of Evan Peters as Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver to the cast sparked wide discussion over the direction of the character who is also slated to appear in The Avengers 2. Quicksilver had been discussed previously as a potential character in both X-Men: The Last Stand and The Avengers, but legal complexities over the license to the character resulted in his omission from both films. However, in May 2013 both Marvel and Fox Studios announced a resolution to the previous legal issues, and that Quicksilver would appear in this film as well as an Avengers sequel, though under certain parameters: no reference to Quicksilver's membership in the Avengers can be made in an "X-Men" film, and no allusion to his relations to the X-Men or Magneto (the character's father) can be made in an "Avengers" film; the rights agreement between Fox and Marvel even goes so far as to stipulate the character cannot be referred to as a "mutant" in any Marvel film. Additionally, the day after the announcement of Peters's casting, Marvel and Fox entered into a legal standoff over provisions of the rights agreement for the character, including the issue of whether Peters would be allowed to portray Quicksilver in any other film outside the "X-Men" franchise, possibly necessitating a second actor to play Quicksilver in any Marvel film, resulting in two different versions of the same character appearing in two competing film series. As of May 2013, this dispute which also includes the character Scarlet Witch (Quicksilver's twin sister) has yet to be resolved.

Kevin Feige later stated, regarding the 'brother/sister act' in TA2, "I’m not confirming or denying anything. The draft could change six months from now.”

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

Right. **** Quick Silver and Scarlet Witch! How about some love for the originals?

Whedon should just write Beast into the Avengers. I always liked him there better after the new X-Men joined.
