Ever since Evan Peters zipped onto the display in that unforgettable slow-mo scene from X-Males: Days of Future Previous, followers (myself included) have been desirous to see his Quicksilver formally enter the MCU. WandaVision gave us a style—kind of—however many are nonetheless holding out hope for a much bigger, extra significant return. And now the Monster actor is responding to these calls.
In a current interview with ComicBook whereas selling the upcoming Tron: Ares, Peters addressed the long-standing fan theories—and whether or not he’s bored with listening to a few return for his mutant character. Whereas he stopped wanting confirming something official, he did share the place he’d need to take the character subsequent. He advised the outlet:
Yeah, something actually. I had such a blast taking part in that character. And, you bought to dive a bit of bit into his residence life is bizarre because it was. However, however, yeah, kind of exploring that extra can be fascinating. And the connection with Magneto can be fairly cool. Yeah. So, yeah, I don’t know. Knock on wooden.
He was requested if all of the fan hypothesis had ever been exhausting. His reply? Laughs first, then added:
No, truly. I’m curious…
Similar, Evan. Similar. Whereas the American Horror Story alum didn’t verify any plans, he undoubtedly sounds open—and even excited—in regards to the thought of suiting up once more in a new Marvel film.
Since Disney’s 2019 acquisition of Fox, the X-Males and Incredible 4 franchises have been step by step folded into the MCU. Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige teased the arrival of mutants for years earlier than slowly pulling the set off—with Beast popping up in The Marvels post-credits, Professor X showing in Physician Unusual: Multiverse of Insanity, and naturally, Logan returning in Deadpool & Wolverine. Nonetheless, one of many earliest mutant teases was truly Peters himself, when he appeared in WandaVision. Certain, it turned out to be a bait-and-switch—he wasn’t Quicksilver, however “Ralph Bohner”—nevertheless it was nonetheless a enjoyable style of what might be.
Quicksilver hasn’t been confirmed for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, nor did he seem on the current crew swag that exposed the present X-Males lineup. But when Marvel does deliver him again, there are already compelling story threads to tug. The 38 year-ld actor particularly talked about desirous to discover Pietro’s residence life and his relationship with Magneto, that are two emotional angles followers have been hoping to see absolutely fleshed out because the mutants began inching their manner into the MCU multiverse.
Comedian e book followers know that within the comics, Quicksilver and his sister Wanda are Magneto’s youngsters, one thing the Fox movies alluded to however by no means absolutely explored. With Ian McKellen set to return as Magneto in Avengers: Doomsday subsequent 12 months, the timing feels suspiciously excellent for the MCU to lean into that dynamic lastly. And in the event you’ve seenWandaVision, accessible to stream with a Disney+ subscription, you understand the multiverse has already cracked the door open.
Avengers: Doomsday is at the moment scheduled to hit the 2026 film schedule on December 18, 2026, adopted by Secret Wars in 2027. Up to now, there’s no official phrase about Evan Peters being hooked up to both undertaking, however in a multiverse filled with variants and crossovers, it wouldn’t be a stretch. Particularly given how warmly audiences responded to his WandaVision look. In fact, this time, hopefully he is not “Ralph Bohner” however the true Pietro Maximoff.
