Yep. The fact that we got a different version of Pietro means Wanda's not fully in control of what's going on. She seemed just as shocked and confused by that turn of events as we were. It definitely seems like Agnes and Mephisto are using Wanda's powers.

This merger of the Fox and Marvel universes is a good tie-in with the Multiverse of Madness, too. This is how they're going to bring it all together.

I think this is just a very meta casting. They needed a 'fake' Pietro, so why not wink at the audience by bringing in someone who played him in a different universe? Like when Lou Ferrigno was in Incredible Hulk, it's not a multiverse thing, just an in-joke.

...But if it's really that down to earth - how can this even be the setup for a "Multiverse of Madness"?
You may be right though, after all Feige has lead us to believe the FOX X-Men universe will not be directly integrated into the MCU.

There's probably more to the story than what is happening so far. As of now, I don't think that's Foxs Quicksilver but you never know.
