Check out when you can watch Episode 6 for more answers in our WandaVision release schedule. We have even more WandaVision theories for you, if that's what you want – from why a major comic book villain may be behind it all, to the question of how (or if) Vision is even alive. If this is a formal crossing over of the established X-Men universe with the MCU, the implications are fairly huge – could we see Patrick Stewart's Professor X, Ian McKellan's Magneto, or Hugh Jackman's Wolverine enter the newer Marvel movies? It would explain how Deadpool 3 can safely be a canon MCU movie, at the very least. We'll likely have to wait for next week's episode to get more answers on that.

It must be said, however, that in a series built on illusion, transformation, and deceit, Peters' addition could be a simple nod to a superhero movie fan audience. With Wanda explicitly tied to the upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it's possible this is our first clue as to her part in crossing the boundaries between realities – perhaps she's pulled a different reality's Quicksilver into her own, after 'her' Pietro was killed in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Some theorised that Thanos' blip could have caused mutations in those returned to life, while others have pointed to the upcoming introduction of the multiverse to the MCU as a way in. While it's been clear for some time that mutants would be coming to the MCU in some form, how that would happen has been the source of speculation.

And to make absolutely clear this isn't just some regular real-world recasting, Kat Dennings' Darcy confirms that this is some extremely weird in-universe recasting by saying: "She recast Pietro?" This marks the first time one of Fox's X-Men actors has played the same role within an MCU project, and opens some fascinating possibilities for where Marvel's movies and TV shows could go next. Both Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen had teased a mysterious guest star appearing on WandaVision, with Olsen going so far as to call it the shows 'Luke Skywalker moment,' referring to the famous surprise cameo by Mark Hamill in the Season 2 finale of Star Wars: The Mandalorian. Peters played Quicksilver in X-Men: Days of Future Past and X-Men: Apocalypse, earning plaudits for his performance, even if the movies themselves weren't as well received. Except it's not the MCU's Aaron Taylor-Johnson playing the character, it's Evan Peters, who played the character in Fox's X-Men universe.

Although he didn’t originally appear as Quicksilver in the Marvel Universe, Peters was cast in Disney+’s WandaVision as a humorous reference to his X-Men character.As Episode 5 draws to a close, WandaVision makes perhaps its most bizarre introduction yet – Pietro Maximoff (aka Quicksilver, aka Wanda's dead brother) shows up at her front door. He returned in the 2016 sequel X-Men: Apocalypse, as well as in Dark Phoenix in 2019. Roberts and Peters called it quits for good in 2019.ĭiving into the hero universe, Peters was cast in the 2014 film X-Men: Days of Future Past as Peter Maximoff, better known as Quicksilver. Roberts was also Peters’ costar in the horror series, and she also went on to appear in multiple seasons. Peters began dating former costar Emma Roberts in 2012 while working on the film Adult World, which was released in 2013. It was season 2 in AHS that collided with the filming of Kick-Ass 2, so Peters was unable to reprise his character.


He was a recurring actor for multiple seasons, playing different roles. In 2011, Peters made his breakthrough with FX’s anthology series American Horror Story. Before making it big, he was cast in multiple commercials and supporting roles in films, including Kick-Ass and Never Back Down. Evan Peters is a heartthrob for many with his dynamic character and acting skills.
