'Avengers: Age Of Ultron' Cast News: Actor Aaron Taylor Talks Quicksilver Role in Upcoming Film
A lot of speculation has circulated about the Quicksilver character ever since he was announced in the sequel to the superhero team up film, "Avengers: Age of Ultron."
Fans finally got an opportunity to see the character in real time when the trailer released a few months ago, but there still wasn't much to go off of what was shown.
Actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson has finally spoken up about the character, and what we can expect from his performance.
Excerpts from his interview stem from popular media outlet CBM, and here's what he had to say :
"He's very agitated because everything runs too slowly for him. He's quick at everything. He's quick to lose his temper."
"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 [expletive] 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."
His description of the character sounds like they pulled it straight from the comic series, so this should please longtime Marvel fans. He even continued to say that they plan to stick to their origins and depict their respective accents.
"We all wanted to pull it back to the comic book. That's why we did East European accents," Aaron added.
Aaron also went into detail on how the character's "super speed" effects would play out on screen.
"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,[expletive] 300lb of muscle and he'd stand there painted green."
When the comparison with the "X-Men: Days of Future Past" iteration of the character came up, he answered with, "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."
