This is Not Quicksilver. The First Look at Evan Peter's QUICKSILVER

A couple of new photos for X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST has surfaced and now it features Bryan Singer's version of the mutant speedster Quicksilver played by Evan Peters.


Soooooo. This is what they've managed to pull off from Magneto's son and twin brother for the Scarlet Witch???

Seriously, that's not Quicksilver... or at least the Quicksilver I knew and grew up with while reading comic books. This is what Quicksilver looks like...


Okay, first off I was thinking that Bryan Singer and the rest of the production people for Days of Future Past would think of at least nailing the speedster's trademark look. Instead we're getting this. a guy with green hair (or what at least we can assume is green hair ala Polaris).

Another reason why this new Quicksilver irks me is the fact that they had to make his mutant powers too obvious by giving him goggles. I mean, sure, it's like important for a speedster to wear goggles while running but it's just too obvious. If they gave Peters something like a tracksuit or leather jacket that would've added more mystique to the character. But then they settled for goggles. 

Ultimate Quicksilver

Gonna give them the benefit of the doubt with regards to the hair but could they just get rid of the goggles for pietro's sake, we're looking at a bad ass speedster and not Impulse here...


Ay nako, 20th Century Fox executives, get your act straight. We've had enough of your meddling with the designs for the mutants on the X-Men movies.

  1. I don't think that is green hair. I think it is because the image is fuzzy.

  2. stop bitchin and moaning. This is the 70's PIETRO MAXIMOFF, not quicksilver. Did you really think pietro in the 70's would where the blue and white lightning costume? if you did you are stupid. It it's just the lightning that makes the hair look green. Look at other pictures of pietro for theis movie
