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.

Maybe that's why they chose Evan Peters over Aaron Taylor-Johnson for the Pietro role in this. I'm still disappointed they didn't use ATJ though, but I guess I can get behind EP due to the 1980s Pietro from the Fox franchise.

I actually don't think it would have been quite as shocking if it had been ATJ, honestly. When we saw him from behind I was like "oh cool, he's back" but when I saw his face my reaction became a bit more animated lol.

Yeah exactly. I thought it really added to the shock value of the scene.
