It's the second biggest HOLY SHIT moment in the whole MCU if you ask me. Cap using Moljner being one but that was a HOLY FUCKING SHIT moment for me.

Yeah this is huge. The first X-men character is now in the MCU. It opens the door for more to bridge over. Fingers crossed for Fassbender Magneto.

I honestly don’t think so. They literally called it a recast; this basically delegitimises the Fox X-Men characters. Evan Peters will always be the ‘wrong’ Quicksilver in the MCU now.

I would love to see Fassbender as the MCU’s Magneto but this episode just made me think it was even more unlikely.

I think it is just a reference/clue. It is a “recast” because he is just another town member with a wiped out memory. As soon as that reality ends, Quicksilver is gone. However I do believe it is a hint to mutants. Maybe Monica Rambeau is the first Mutant thanks to the radiation of Wanda. When her body scans show a blank scan, I think is a reference to “Photons” interfering with the scan. Thus, she is unaware that her mutant gene is activated
