Meh. I like the cartoons, I like the movies. There's literally no downside in reading a comic, especially when it's free.

Here are some more info on the twins.

Feige's been making the press rounds quite a bit this week in anticipation of both San Diego Comic-Con and the release of Marvel Studios' next superhero adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy, and along the way he was asked if Marvel has made any changes to their version of the Quicksilver character to further set him apart (other than with casting and costume, of course) from the version put forth in Days of Future Past by Twentieth Century Fox.

First, Feige made it clear that Marvel didn't stray from the core power set of the character, noting that "there may be some things that look like [Days of Future Past], because he runs really fast, and time slows down if you want to be in his perspective while he's running fast." Other than similar powers, though, Feige said, "They may as well be two completely different characters."

So, what sets the Marvel Quicksilver apart? Well, according to Feige, their version of the character simply has a more fleshed out background, and closer ties to another major character in the film. Namely, his sister.

"We are very much playing up two things that [Days of Future Past doesn't] play with: one is his relationship with his twin sister, Wanda; the other is, his backstory as an Eastern European child of a war-torn country," Feige said.

The Marvel Studios president also noted that, while Fox's Quicksilver was really only a major player for one key action sequence in Days of Future Past, Marvel's Quicksilver will be an important presence throughout Avengers: Age of Ultron.

"...we follow him throughout the whole movie -- him and Wanda -- as it relates to their feelings about the Avengers and how that shifts and changes over the course of the movie. So it's a very different thing than coming out from one, unbelievably awesome showcase sequence of the movie, and much more interwoven throughout the entire movie."

The core of this version of Quicksilver is his short fuse. “There’s a lot of clashing. He’s quick tempered. He gets agitated. He’s impatient. But he’s super protective,” Taylor-Johnson says. The one thing he does care about: his sister. “They’re very yin-and-yang in that twin sense. In his power, he’s physical and she’s psychological. My character is very much on the frontline, but he can be quite emotional. You see this beautiful tenderness between them.”

The two are orphans, who harbor a secret grudge against the Avengers. Their lack of family and any other connection to the world fuels their rage. As Whedon puts it, “I’m interested because there’s familial issues with that kind of resentment. You can sort of go deeper and I can play with their relationships and I can play with attitudes. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver hate them with a fiery hate…”

They aren’t just brother and sister, they are—in a way—parents to each other, too. At least symbolically.
“When you look in the comic books, you see a lot of the time that she’s always sort of mothering him,” Taylor-Johnson says. “He’s like the father figure and she’s like the mother figure. Emotionally, she can stabilize him, and he protects her physically, vice-versa. So they have this beautiful connection and it’s kind of them against the world.”

The Scarlet Witch is always in an eerie, otherworldly state—overwhelmed by the vast psychic knowledge inundating her at all times. “The reason she’s so special is because she has such a vast amount of knowledge that she’s unable to learn how to control it,” Olsen says. “No one taught her how to control it properly. So it gets the best of her. It’s not that she’s mentally insane, it’s just that she’s just overly stimulated. And she can connect to this world and parallel worlds at the same time, and parallel times.”
The actress said she drew on her own family experience—having a very close relationship with her older brother, and witnessing first-hand the interaction of twins. (She’s the younger sister of former child stars Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.)

“My understanding of twins is that they always balance each other out,” she says. “When one’s high, the other one’s low. When one’s sick, the other one’s healthy. That happens, I think, a lot more often than not when people are really close as twins.”

Olsen and Taylor-Johnson were last seen together as a romantic couple in this summer’s Godzilla remake, and there’s a hint of uncomfortable closeness between the brother and sister. It’s a mainstream action film, so don’t expect any major taboos to be broken. But… there may be creepy little allusions.

“In the comics, every time you see an image of them, they’re always holding each other’s hand and looking over each other’s shoulder,” Olsen says. “They’re always so close, it’s almost uncomfortable. Aaron and I have been playing a little bit with those kinds of images just for ourselves.”

So Quicksilver seems to be pretty spot on. Wanda seems to be using her Ultimate powerset of picking alternate universes and forcing that possibility on people but can't control her powers off the bat like her 616 equivalent.

Wanda is apparently gonna change dresses.

purple · Oct 22, 2014

The trailer was leaked a few minutes ago, I uploaded it to my Dropbox if anyone wants it.

Republic · Oct 23, 2014

That was awesome.

Ched · Oct 23, 2014

There was much badassery in that. Can't wait to see the movie.

...but needs moar Hawkeye to be perfect.

Red Aviary · Oct 23, 2014

Looks cool. Still have to watch the new Captain America and Guardians of the Galaxy.

Gengar · Oct 23, 2014

The trailer gave me chills.

Xantam · Oct 23, 2014

The youtube link has a little better sound. Great trailer. Love the Pinocchio song.

Krogan · Oct 23, 2014

This could be dangerous, as I recall the last time someone built something as tall as the tower of money Marvel is going to make from this movie God set it on fire.

Starwind · Oct 23, 2014

Seems like this movie is setting itself up for the fall of Stark... Thor and Hulk both attacking him.

Gengar · Oct 23, 2014

I thought RDJ said he was doing IM4? Or did I imagine that?

Arrowjoe · Oct 23, 2014

You imagined it. He's agreed to appear in Cap3, which will lead into Avengers 3, both of which are rumoured to feed into a Civil War storyline.

How can you have Civil War without Spiderman unmasking?

I'd be more wary of the Captain dying before Stark, what with the elements introduced in Winter Soldier.
