Evan Peters played Quicksilver in a few of Fox’s X-Men movies, starring in iconic action sequences that we hope to see in the MCU one day. Marvel’s MCU lost its Quicksilver very quickly, as Pietro (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) died in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Marvel did introduce Peters to MCU as Quicksilver. WandaVision. He was actually a red herring as we found out near the end. A scooper said that Peters may be returning to the MCU in the near future. Keep in mind, Some spoilers may be found below.
WandaVision’s Quicksilver ruse
Rumors said we’d see Evan Peters in WandaVisionThey were right. They said he’d play Wanda’s brother, and again, they were right. However, the rumors set expectations. WandaVisionIt would be a larger multiverse story where uncontrollable magic could bring X-Men members of the Fox universe to join the MCU. Like Peters’ Quicksilver.
That hasn’t happened, and by the end of WandaVision, we realized Evan Peters’ MCU debut was just a ruse. Peters also played Ralph Bohner in Westview, so there were no immediate connections to the multiverse. He was an actor long before Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen), who took over the city. Agatha Kathryn Hahn actually pulled his strings.
The point of having Peters in the show is easy to understand once you get over the fact that he’s not the X-Men you thought he’d be. Bohner confuses everyone the minute he arrives. His target is Wanda, although he doesn’t know it. It’s Agatha that wants to make Wanda doubt herself and her powers.
Bohner says he’s Pietro but doesn’t look or feel like her brother. In turn, this can further impact Wanda’s ability to tell right from wrong and real from imaginary.
Marvel’s point with Bohner is also to confuse the audience. He shows up in WandaVision, we think it’s Wanda who brings him in. We assume that Wanda just grabbed him from another universe because of her growing power. It won’t be until What If…?And Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of MadnessWe learn how difficult it can be to travel across the multiverse.
Will Evan Peters make a comeback to the MCU again?
Marvel could always explain why Bohner is a Quicksilver variant of the multiverse, however. We don’t necessarily need Evan Peters for the role, no mater how much we enjoyed those Quicksilver scenes. X-Men movies.
Marvel could, on the other hand have him play the exact Quicksilver version in another multiverse movie which involves multiverse travel. Deadpool 3Now confirmed as one of the possibilities.
It’s unclear when Evan Peters will return to the MCU and in what capacity. But The street is the wordThe actor is currently in discussions with Marvel to work on a new project.

Coven of Chaos: AgathaThis is a good choice because it allows you to choose from a variety of different options. Disney PlusTelevision show is linked to WandaVision. And Agatha did mess with Bohner’s mind.
Coven of Chaos premieres in Winter 2023, so there’s plenty of time to learn more about Evan Peters’ return. Deadpool 3 hits theaters in September 2024, if that’s where Peters’ Quicksilver will pop in.
