MCU Quicksilver was arguably way better than the FOX version. The characterization was fine, the problem was the script and screen time. MCU Pietro wasn't an easy fix plot device, and he actually embodied the impatient/overprotective brother
Does anybody have the edit of the Avengers Alliance Rulk with a moustache? Also Hulk thread

Sebastian King
That I agree with wholeheartedly. He was more accurate to his comic personality. Its why I still stand that Ultron should have gotten two movies just like how Thanos had infinity war and endgame
Liam Richardson
The new Avengers team from the end of AoU should have had at least one movie before they were torn apart in Civil War, and someone should have told Whedon he doesn't always need to kill someone. IIRC they actually filmed scenes where Quicksilver lived in case Disney blocked them from killing him, but they've never released them.
Xavier King
I was under the impression they killed off Quicksilver due to the lack of rights. They only borrowed him from Fox at the time and wanted to introduce the Scarlet Witch with her brother as opposed to being a single person. Its a damn shame he didn't get past one movie
Xavier Baker
That's widely believed for some reason, but no, they had the rights to use both Wanda and Pietro as much as they wanted, they just couldn't make them mutants, and couldn't make them Magneto's children, because Fox had those rights.
There may have been some restrictions on licensing and merchandise, which would explain why Sharon Carter appeared instead of Wanda on a lot of Team Cap images for Civil War.
Fox had no plans to use either of them until it was announced they were going to be in AoU, they then put their version of Quicksilver into DoFP, the script originally had Wolverine recruiting a young Juggernaut instead.
Whedon literally just killed Quicksilver because he always has to kill someone, and he thought it was clever to make it look like Hawkeye would die, and kill someone else instead.
Evan Stewart
That's stupid. Quicksilver should have been one of the strongest MCU character based on speed alone. He didn't have to block the bullets with his body, but he should have just moved Hawkeye away. His death wasn't even impactful since he JUST appeared in that movie
Austin Barnes
You're not wrong, but Whedon gotta Whedon. He's talked about how he met with Feige after he finished work on the first movie, but before it was released, to discuss sequel ideas, and he'd been planning to kill Pietro as far back as then.

Thanks user

Was any of the rumors of him being brought back for Endgame when Hawkeye was trying out the time machine true?
Ethan Bailey
Oh, ya, we're definitely getting Ross back.
No way Ewing could resist if he wanted to.
Rulk/Zzzax is what we need.
