To Wanda's eyes, he looks off: she remembers growing up with Aaron-Pietro instead. Now, flash forward to WandaVision, and-wonder of wonders-the once-thought-dead Pietro shows up on his sister's doorstep, landing smack in the middle of her sitcom world right before everything goes to shit. They have no real relation to each other besides a name and a superpower. Evan-Pietro was a kid who messed around with mutants and ate Twinkies, all within the X-Men Cinematic Universe. Aaron-Pietro was a full-grown man who was born in Sokovia, lived in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and died while fighting Ultron. Everyone knew this 'Peter' was actually Pietro/Quicksilver, or at least some franchise-ified version of him.īut here's the catch: These two actors played the same character and a completely different character. Evan Peters first showed up as “Peter” in X-Men: Days of Future Past and briefly captured Tumblr's attention with his 'Time in a Bottle' scene, in which he moved so quickly time seemed to freeze around him. Regardless, Aaron-Taylor Johnson as Pietro had my attention.īut then there was this other Pietro. I think I actually cried when he died in the film, though, admittedly, I cried a lot in those days. At this point in my young adulthood, I'd guzzled the Marvel Kool-Aid and was regularly scrolling Tumblr for trailer drops, theories, and spoilers in between classes. Beyond that, I didn't know or care much about him.īut then word got out that he'd be appearing in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and I re-invested myself. I felt a kinship with this character's terrible choice in hairstyles. He was, ostensibly, the brother of Wanda Maximoff, the so-called Scarlet Witch and protagonist of the aforementioned WandaVision. His name was Pietro Maximoff, otherwise known as Quicksilver.

In my prime, I was scooping up comic books every Wednesday afternoon at my hole-in-the-wall downtown comic-book shop, and a good number of my favorite series featured a young-or old, depending on the universe-man imbued with super-strength and a haughty personality.

I think I recognize him, but WandaVision, Marvel Studios's ambitious new series on Disney+, has me doubting even that. I'm really excited for people to see that stuff.I do not know this man. It is an actor that I've longed to work with all of my life and we have some amazing scenes together and the chemistry between us is, I think, extraordinary and it is just fireworks on set.

Bettany replied by noting that there were characters that they were trying to keep secret but the information got out there (Peters' Pietro and Teyonah Parris' Monica Rambeau) but, 'There is one character that has not been revealed. RELATED: WandaVision Star Teases Series’ ‘Luke Skywalker’ MomentĮsquire released a video of their 'Explain This' video feature by having Paul Bettany react to fan theories about WandaVision and one of the theories was that Benedict Cumberbatch would be making a surprise cameo on the series as Doctor Strange to set up the second Doctor Strange film, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. However, Paul Bettany recently explained that there is a whole other mysterious guest star who will be appearing in a future episode of the series whose presence has yet to be revealed (or leaked, like the rumors of Peters' involvement in WandaVision way back in June of 2020).
