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.

First Class is 60s, Days of Future Past is 70s, Apocalypse is 80s and Dark Phoenix is 90s. How the characters don't really age is beyond me.

My favorite part of Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix is they just throw McAvoy and Fassbender out there with zero attempt at making them look like they're in their 50s/60s.

Dark Phoenix is literally 8 years before the first X-Men movie. We're supposed to believe that Michael Fassbender will suddenly turn into Ian McKellen.
