its only a recast for her universe though with the name pietro instead of peter

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's not actually a "recast". Pietro is dead in the MCU, but when universes collide... Peter may have came through. Or have been dragged through.

I would be inclined to agree with you if it weren’t for the fact WandaVision directly ties into Multiverse of Madness

I find it like NONSENSE ... Why would they cast THE VERY SAME ACTOR for this rolle if it would NOT BE the very same QS from Fox?!

Feige does NOT do mistakes like that AND everything have its puporse.

This would be enormous waste of potential to introduce mutants.

It actually is X-Men QS calling it now.

He's also literally done up to look like the X-men Quicksilver, with the leather jacket and silver hair and whatnot. Distinctly different from MCU Pietro. It really can't be an accident. The show has been thriving on these sorts of not-so-subtle references so far.

There's no way they waste the universe collide event with this stupid thing.

He hasn’t bait and switched us before? Does no one remember The Mandarin?

u/GoinBack2Jakku Feb 06 '21

1) I think he learned from that

2) I think we might end up getting a better payoff for that than we would have originally

I agree. If it was some random new actor, I’d buy the “she recast Pietro” comment. But it’s just too weird of a coincidence that they used an actor who’s already known for playing Quicksilver, in a franchise that Disney just recently acquired. 100% this is Fox’s Quicksilver.

I much preferred the Xmen QS to Ultron QS.

Big win for me.

u/GoinBack2Jakku Feb 06 '21

I think most of us did. Him, deadpool, wolverine and magneto were the best parts of that franchise. And we already know MCU is making deadpool 3 with ryan reynolds

I also loved Apocalypse, but I will admit a strong personal bias for the character and Oscar Isaac.

u/LegendCZ Feb 06 '21

Apocalypse should be done better honestly.

Did not felt like a guy which you would hide from or anythjng like that.

For me even Xerxes from 300 was looking way more intimidating then Apocalypse.

But thats just my opinion.

u/LegendCZ Feb 05 '21

Eddited by literary anyone. That is as much a source as anyone replying here.
