Aaron Taylor-Johnson Has One Question About Quicksilver’s Death (It’s a Good One)

Aaron Taylor-Johnson Has One Question About Quicksilver’s Death (It’s a Good One)

As a seasoned movie enthusiast with a rich history of following the twists and turns of comic book adaptations, I find myself intrigued by Aaron Taylor-Johnson‘s journey through the superhero universe. Having shared the screen with Quicksilver in the MCU and Ralph Bohner (a.k.a. Evan Peters’ version of Quicksilver) in “Kick-Ass,” it’s a fascinating tale of parallel universes within the world of comics.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson recently conversed with IMDb about several roles, particularly focusing on Kraven the Hunter, an upcoming Spider-Man universe villain. It’s not the first time this actor has been involved in action-filled projects or superhero tales, and it’s not his debut in Marvel movies either. Previously, he portrayed Quicksilver in Avengers: Age of Ultron. During the discussion, Taylor-Johnson expressed his thoughts on that experience and even confessed that he didn’t understand why Wanda (his movie sibling) didn’t revive him after he perished.

As a movie critic, I can confidently say that Elizabeth Olsen is not only an exceptional talent on-screen but also a genuinely delightful individual off it. Taylor-Johnson’s praises for the Scarlet Witch actress are well-deserved, and I wholeheartedly concur. Our shared experiences working together on Godzilla remain vivid in my memory.

In the second Avengers film, Taylor-Johnson’s character Quicksilver met his end in battle, causing a poignant scene as Wanda grieved for her brother. Instead of reviving Quicksilver, fans were given an unexpected twist when Evan Peters, known for playing Quicksilver in the X-Men movies, appeared as “Ralph Bohner” character instead, missing a genuine Quicksilver appearance in WandaVision. Remarkably, Taylor-Johnson and Peters had previously acted together in 2010’s Kick-Ass.

When asked if he had talked about Quicksilver with Evans, Aaron Taylor-Johnson confessed they hadn’t conversed directly on the topic. However, he mentioned they encountered each other at San Diego Comic-Con and shared a mutual sense of amazement, similar to “Wow, aren’t we so fortunate to be here, still pursuing what we passionately enjoy?” Despite being in separate cinematic worlds, he found it amusing.

Apart from featuring in the show “Agatha All Along“, Peters was also highly praised by Taylor-Johnson. He admired Peters’ interpretation of Quicksilver in the later X-Men movies, crediting it to unique aspects he brought to the character that perfectly fit the role. Additionally, they found it intriguing that they could both play the same character, with Taylor-Johnson commenting, “I think when you’re a comic book character that has ties to Magneto and all those House of M storylines, there’s a distinct connection. It’s kind of cool.

It’s notable that the actor temporarily halted involvement in large franchise productions to devote time to his family, as his daughter was merely two years old and he also had a newborn. In an interview with Esquire Magazine last year, he stated, “I simply wanted to be with my little ones. I didn’t want to miss out on them. I wrestled with the idea of how that would work. I can say I wasn’t quite prepared for that situation yet – it was still too soon. But yes, I also didn’t feel particularly compelled by those film offers.

In their upcoming venture, actor Taylor-Johnson will star in “Kraven the Hunter,” a film produced by Sony. Previous Sony productions such as “Madame Web,” “Morbius,” and the “Venom” series have received mixed reception from audiences. However, this new film promises to deviate from the norm, earning an R rating. Could this be the opportunity Sony needs to rectify its past mistakes and enhance its Spider-Man universe? Here’s hoping. Additionally, this project also presents an opportunity for the actor to re-enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a significant way.

Kraven the Hunter will be released in theaters this week.
