Speaking with Marvel.com, showrunner Jac Schaeffer explained the thought process behind bringing Quicksilver — who previously perished in Avengers: Age of Ultron — to the Disney+ show.
“We just thought it would be the biggest thrill to bring Evan over to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”
At the tail end of Episode 5, we’re hit with a shocking surprise cameo from Wanda’s brother Pietro AKA Quicksilver.
What makes this appearance so uncanny is that Pietro isn’t portrayed by his MCU actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson, but his X-Men counterpart Evan Peters.
