Just When We Thought Quicksilver Might Look Normal
Listen, moviemakers of the world, Quicksilver’s white hair is not that important of a character trait! I know he has white/silver hair in the comics, but there’s nothing about his character, his powers or his potential stories that require the white/silver hair in live action adaptations. Especially when it looks ridiculous!
None of the above is intrinsic to a live action adaptation
We already know that Quicksilver in X-Men: Days of Future Past is going to look hideous.
But for a brief moment, we thought Quicksilver in Avengers: Age of Ultron would look pretty cool. Remember those concept art pieces that Marvel debuted next week?
Well some shutterbugs at the official filming in Italy have snapped some live action pictures of actors Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Forget the Quicksilver concept art, because he looks nothing like the image, and instead looks really, really bogus. Mostly. I guess I still prefer this Avengers look to the X-Men version, but man, it’s harsh.

First Looks at Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch from Avengers: Age of Ultron!
Last night, ABC aired a special on upcoming Marvel movies, but I didn’t actually watch it because I had better things to do – namely finally catching up on that short-lived Green Lantern Animated Series. But the Internet is awash in all of the big news items revealed in that special, including the first looks at Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch from Avengers: Age of Ultron!
Otherwise known as Avengers 2: Superhero Boogaloo
I’ll save the pictures until after the jump in case you don’t want to get SPOILED. I think they look OK. I think they definitely look better than what FOX has planned for them in X-Men: Days of Future Past. So join me after the jump to check out the concept art for Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch!
Does Anybody Want Some More Captain America?
A new trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier was released today, attached to a more than 3-minute scene from the film. I don’t usually post clips, but I watched and liked this one, and the new trailer is as good as the others have been. Plus, if you want your first look at Batroc the Leaper, here’s your chance!
Looks good to me!
Somebody’s Going to See the LEGO Movie!
It’s me! I’m finally going to see The LEGO Movie this weekend! Took me long enough. But speaking of LEGOs, movies and Captain America…
I wish I was such a talented LEGO artist. If I had unlimited time, unlimited funds, and an army of super models to follow my every command, I think I’d spend all my time making awesome LEGO video shorts. Thank you, Antonio Toscano, for this bit of fun.
Paul Bettany as the Vision? Alright, I’ll Buy It
The superhero movie rumor mill is grinding away today at full force, with news out of England that Paul Bettany will be playing the Vision in Avengers 2: Age of Ultron. Bettany, if you recall, has been the voice of Tony Stark’s computer/butler J.A.R.V.I.S. in all of the Iron Man movies, as well as the first Avengers. And the Vision is an android from the comics. So it would kind of make sense for the artificial intelligence to just upgrade into a robot body.
I can see the resemblance, especially in the eyes
Right now, this casting is all rumor, I think. It’s all over the Internet today, but Marvel hasn’t said anything concrete. It was reported in The Daily Mail, who said they saw Bettany undergoing some make up work on the set. Then it got confirmed by Variety. I don’t usually like to post these sorts of rumors, but it’s a slow news day, and I actually really like this idea.
