With an amazing ensemble cast from bothX-Mentrilogies, some may have been surprised that the most memorable moment fromX-Men: Days of Future Pastinvolved one of the few brand new cast members. Fans were introduced toEvan Peters' Quicksilver in last summer’s blockbuster, and many are still talking about the super slow motion scene where he hilariously disarms a group of Pentagon guards.Quicksilverwill be back in next year’sX-Men: Apocalypse, and during an interview withCollider,Evan Petersteased that his speedy character will have an even bigger scene.
“Yeah, Quicksilver does his thing again, in the new film. It’s bigger, longer and more detailed. I think it’s an amazing sequence that they’ve put together. Just filming it, I was like, ‘Oh, my god!’ I think we shot for 22 days of second unit, working on the sequence, which is amazing. It’s so cool to take that much time to make something like that really pop and really work. Knock on wood, I think it’s going to be a fun and enjoyable sequence for people to watch, with Quicksilver running around and doing his thing in slow-mo time. I hope people like it.”
Unfortunately, we don’t know any specific details about this sequence, or how he uses his super-speed to help out his fellow mutants. We do know that the story is set in 1983, 10 years after the events ofX-Men: Days of Future Past. The story centers on the villainousApocalypse, as he assembles his Four Horsemen,Psylocke(Olivia Munn), Storm (Alexandra Shipp), Angel (Ben Hardy) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender), who has been living in exile afterX-Men: Days of Future Past. When Professor X (James McAvoy) and Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) learn about Apocalypse’s plans, they put together a team of mutants to stop his plan from going forward.
