WandaVision
Marvel Studios considered bring Aaron Taylor - Johnson back as Quicksilver forWandaVision . In the lead up to the first Marvel Cinematic Universe show on Disney+ , plenty of fan believed that Quicksilver would be involve in some mode . The show revolved around Wanda Maximoff a.k.a . , Scarlet Witch ( Elizabeth Olsen ) , and Vision ( Paul Bettany ) survive in a fake reality . SincePietro Maximoff died in the MCUduringAvengers : Age of Ultron , this fake humanity seemed to be the perfect place to bring back Wanda ’s dead brother and give Taylor - Johnson another chance to play the character .
Fans were right to think that Quicksilver would appear inWandaVision , but how he appear in the serial publication was very different . The version of Pietro included was not played by Taylor - Johnson as Evan Peters stepped into the office alternatively . Peters ' history of make for Quicksilver in Fox’sX - Menmovies right away sparked speculation that the two franchises were now link through the multiverse . However , the end ofWandaVisionproved that this was n’t the lawsuit , as " fake Pietro " was a Westview resident under Agatha Harkness ' control . This made fans even more confused by the pick to expend Peters , and those involved with the show said there wasno plan B in case he could n’t do it .

In a late consultation withComicbook , WandaVisiondirector , Matt Shakman , confirms that there were early conversation to bring Aaron Taylor - Johnson back as Quicksilver . He did n’t expose how using Aaron Taylor - Johnson as Quicksilver would ’ve potentially alter the show . Shakman did reassert that they moved past this thought fairly promptly , though , and explicate how the habit of Peters as Quicksilver worked on several levels forWandaVision . Read what Shakman said below :
There definitely were conversations about bringing Aaron Taylor - Johnson back early on , I think Kevin [ Feige ] spill the beans about this publicly . But it was ruled out middling betimes on and we ’ve already get Vision from back and so Agatha is bringing Pietro into this world , fake Pietro , into this world to further her order of business . And so have got that be a recast Pietro work on our meta level , but it also made good sense thematically when we were talking about grief , which is that grief clouds your mind , you ’re willing to trust thing you would n’t . You ’re living in this phantasy of , ' If this is my buddy , even though I do n’t know or feel that he ’s my crony , I ’m unforced to accept it because I miss him so much . '
Based on the story thatWandaVisionultimately told , the use of Taylor - Johnson ’s Quicksilver would ’ve dramatically modify the series . Wanda initially pause to believe that " fake Pietro " was her pal and created a sentience of distrust throughout the show . This would not have materialize if she distinguish him right away . It also would alter theRalph Bohner reveal , which fans might ’ve favour in this case , as someone who looks precisely like Quicksilver know in Westview would be a shade unbelievable . That say , it is easy to imagine Quicksilver having a larger role in the serial publication and the finish if it was Taylor - Johnson ’s variation . He would have been another family member that Wanda would have had to say auf wiedersehen to as the Hex collapsed . alternatively , " false Pietro " has a rather ambiguous ending to his story .
Since Taylor - Johnson did n’t reelect as Quicksilver inWandaVision , it is unclear if he ’ll ever play the character again in the MCU . There is a probability thatQuicksilver could secretly be part ofDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness . Scarlet Witch is confirm to have a full-grown character in the movie , and the Multiverse scene could provide a path for another version of Quicksilver played by Taylor - Johnson to join the MCU . Only metre will assure whether or not the MCU ’s Pietro will be back .
