Kraven the Hunter Star Aaron Taylor-Johnson is no stranger to playing comic book characters. The British actor’s big break came in the 2010s Kick ass before later being cast as Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver Avengers: Age of Ultron.

This role was ultimately a given for him, as the speedster heroically sacrificed himself in the final battle to save Hawkeye.

The character’s comic book history with the Avengers and X-Men also created a unique situation that meant both Marvel Studios and 20th Century Fox could use the character. That’s why Evan Peters’ Quicksilver beat Taylor-Johnson’s to the finish line when he appeared in 2014 X-Men: Days of Future Past.

In a new interview, the British actor admitted that he has no hard feelings towards Peters. I remember a meeting at “(San Diego Comic-Con) where they had the X-Men lineup of guys.” he remembered it as “Pinch yourself a minute.”

This caused them to say to each other: “’Oh my God, aren’t we so lucky that we get to be here and still do what we love? But it’s funny that we’re in two different universes and we’re doing this.’”

Taylor-Johnson added: “To be honest, I have a lot of admiration for what he was able to do with his character and there were some things he thought were fantastic and worked really well.”

The Kraven the Hunter star pointed out that Peters’ Quicksilver did this “various connections” to the source material, especially as “(a) comic book character who has some connection to Magneto and House of M.”

Calling Scarlet Witch actress Elizabeth Olsen a “Phenomenal actor, absolute star and wonderful person, wonderful person” He briefly confirmed the fact that Peters appeared as a new version of Quicksilver WandaVision and joked, “I don’t know why she didn’t revive me, though.”

We still don’t know why Taylor-Johnson didn’t reprise the role in this Disney+ series, although it’s likely because Marvel Studios wanted to get fans talking (especially since Peters’ MCU debut came at a time , when the multiverse was just emerging).

It was later revealed that “Quicksilver” was the mind-controlled Ralph Bohner, whom Agatha Harkness forced to play the role of Pietro in order to learn more about the Scarlet Witch. He came back Agatha all the time and Taylor-Johnson has moved on to “Sony’s Spider-Man universe.”
