Marvel wants Aaron Taylor-Johnson to Play Quicksilver in AVENGERS 2

Movie Quicksilver Casting Aaron Taylor-Johnson Avengers: Age of Ultron about 11 years agoby Joey Paur

Joss Whedon has been very vocal about the Marvel characters Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch being in The Avengers 2. Apparently, Marvel is already looking to cast the roles. According to Deadline, the studio wants Kick-Ass star Aaron Taylor-Johnson to take on the role! It's not set in stone. No deal has been made, but Marvel wants him on their team.

If they do get him to jump on board, I think he's a great choice. Johnson is a talented actor, and he could easily pull off playing this character. The report suggests that he might be too busy to make the movie though. The next time we see Johnson it will be in Kick-Ass 2, and right now he's shooting Godzilla.

Bryan Singer recently announced that he cast Evan Peters in the part of Quicksilver for X-Men: Days of Future Past. What's funny about that is Peters and Johnson worked together on the Kick-Ass films.

What do you think about the possibility of Johnson taking on the role of Quicksilver in The Avengers 2? Are there any other actors you think would be better in the role?
