Which Marvel characters will be added to the Marvel movie universe for The Avengers 2?
Joss Whedon knows…and he’s let us know at the recent premiere of Iron Man 3.
According to Yahoo News, Whedon says Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch will be part of the upcoming sequel.
“When you’re dealing with the story, when you’ve got the characters that you love, when you’ve got the new characters sliding in next to them – it’s very exciting. Then I don’t feel pressure, then I feel like I’m reading my favorite comic. I’ve got these two characters, two of my favorite characters from the comic book, a brother-sister act, they’re in the movie. That’s exciting! You lock certain things in, there’s a fluidity,” Whedon says.
The news has fans buzzing, wondering how the siblings will figure into the Marvel movie universe. Comic book fans may recall that Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch are children of Magneto. But the rights to Magneto are owned by 20th Century Fox with the X-Men franchise. Could this mean that the two studios are willing to work together and we could get a crossover of characters?
