Evan Peters Thinks X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Has Topped The DOFP Quicksilver Scene

One of the unquestionable highlights in Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past was the Quicksilver scene. You know the one: Evan Peters' character was sprinting around the walls of a prison, moving so fast that everything else went into super slow motion. Peters has talked before about how he hopes to be able to do something as cool as that in the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse, and in a new interview with JoBlo, he says he thinks they've topped it:

“Yeah, I think that’s been the hardest thing,” says Peters. “Can we top it? They did such a f*cking awesome job. The special effects team is amazing… I was just a minion. They just told me what to do so I didn’t really have much to do with it but I was curious to see how they were going to top it and if they could and I think they have. I’m very excited to see it myself. I’m excited for everybody to see it because we’ve been working hard on it.”

We also know that Magneto has essentially gone off the grid and has built something of a quiet, normal life for himself when we meet up with him in Apocalypse. Peters reveals that in Apocalypse, Quicksilver knows that Magneto is his father (something that was alluded to in DOFP) and that drives a lot of his story in the new movie:

“I have learned that he's my father at this point and I am trying to … I don’t know what I can say. I'm trying to …” Peters pauses to consider his thoughts, then continues. “Yeah. It's like an adoptive child or any kind of child who has a strange father trying to … He knows who he is now so he is trying to find him. He's been searching for him. It's been 10 years and he hasn't found him and then something happens.”

I'm wondering what kind of scene Singer and his team have cooked up to top the prison break sequence in Days of Future Past. This is clearly going to be the biggest X-Men movie yet, so I'm guessing there are going to be a lot of jaw-dropping moments when it comes to the sheer scale we're going to witness here.

X-Men: Apocalypse arrives on May 27th.
