Aaron Taylor-Johnson on Quicksilver's Accent and Personality in AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

We've seen Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Quicksilver in a few trailers for Avengers: Age of Ultron, but we haven't heard him speak or do anything other than stand and run. Empire interviewed him and we have a few excepts via CBM.

Taylor-Johnson on Quicksilver's personality:

"He's very agitated because everything runs too slowly for him. He's quick at everything. He's quick to lose his temper."

Quicksilver's relationship with his sister, Scarlet Witch:

"It's more about Pietro and Wanda together, a yin/yang where he's very physical and very protective of her and she's very internal and always mothering him. Pietro doesn't f-ing trust anybody. The only one he cares for and at the end of the day will jump in front of a bullet for is his sister, Wanda."

On the accent he will have in the film:

"We all wanted to pull it back to the comic book. That's why we did East European accents."

What it was like shooting the movie:

"Every time I enter or exit a scene I am a blur. I would perfect the skid really well. You know how you're a kid at school and on a rainy day in the playground the skidding would be a competition? It was like that. I was really good at skidding and not just in straight lines. I would run in and then do the scene and run out and then they'd have to do it exactly the same again but without any actors. A 'Pietro Pass' is what they'd call it. Then they might need an 'Iron Man Pass' and someone might go in dressed as a big Iron Man, and then a 'Hulk Pass' and they'd get the biggest stunt guy, who's like, f-ing 300lb of muscle and he'd stand there painted green."

I think Taylor-Johnson is a solid actor and it sounds like he had a lot of fun making Age of Ultron. We've already seen Quicksilver in the X-Men cineverse and based on what Taylor-Johnson shared, it sounds like they are radically different takes on the character.

The actor spoke about Evan Peters' version of Quicksilver in X-Men: Days of Future Past:

"That was already out there before I even signed the contract. If I'd cared that much, I would have said no. It didn't phase me for one minute. What I knew of it was that Evan Peters' Quicksilver was set in the '70s, and it was different. I didn't watch any of it while making Avengers, but I did see it recently, and it was fantastic."

Avengers: Age of Ultron opens in theaters May 1st (USA).
