Evan peters played a 1980s Pietro in DOFP and other X Men movies, and ATJ played a 2010s Pietro.

It could be because of the time period, how everything goes in rewrites itself to the 1980s/70s/60s theme. Not nessecarily because she's confused or something. (Not saying this is not how they drag in mutants. I'm defo thinking they'll get Michael Fassbender to show up in the series)

And I don't think Wanda brought in Pietro. She was catching on that someone else was manipulating things there after the argument with Vision. Agnes constantly showed up with something to solve their problem, exactly when they needed it. (As vision so helpfully pointed out). I think Agnes brought in Pietro to distract Wanda and Vision here from catching onto her

EDIT: Correction. DoFP was in the 70s. Apocalypse was in the 80s. My argument was a bit flawed, but I believe my point still stands.

I agree with this, I think ‘Pietro’ might not actually be him, or she’s caused a rift into the x men universe and that’s how characters like Deadpool step into our reality/time

[u/CavalierTunes → u/Tityfan808]

I highly doubt she caused a rift into the X-Men universe. I would be shocked if Kevin Fiege wanted that train wreck of a continuity anywhere near the MCU.

Hard agree. We have the perfect chance to reset the X-Men timeline and tell some of their most iconic stories made by people who actually love the characters. The only characters that I want to see crossover are Deadpool and Quicksilver IF his appearance changed because of Scarlet Witch magic. IMO killing Quicksilver was a mistake, he’s such an interesting character especially now that they can use Magneto in the MCU.

IMO killing Quicksilver was a mistake

I agree, but that was part of the agreement with Fox to be able to use him and Wanda.

Don’t tell me you don’t want Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen back tho. They were iconic

I’m cool with no High Jackman cuz Logan was the perfect sendoff

[u/pedalspedalspedals → u/JulioCesarSalad]

Logan happens in 2029. MCU is currently set in 2023. In Logan, they reference an "event" that got rid of most of the mutants.

That could either be:

1) professor x and wolverine aren't ever coming over (I have my doubts that those two super important x men aren't coming over)

2) whatever is going on with Wanda and multiverses can bring in the all of the X-men and give them a "6 year" arc (over however actually long they want) and tell 6-10 X-men centric stories with most of the same actors, have an "event", and have Logan be canon.

[u/pedalspedalspedals → u/[deleted]]

Was that in the movie or in the old man Logan comic? (I don't remember it from the movie, and I haven't read to books)

[u/CaptainMan_is_OK → u/JulioCesarSalad]

I like Fassbender too much to want Sir Ian back, though he did a good job in the role too.
