Aaron Taylor-Johnson made his MCU debut as Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver in Captain America: The Winter Soldiers Stinger before taking center stage in 2015 Avengers: Age of Ultron. Unfortunately, Joss Whedon’s habit of shocking fans by killing off main character (RIP Agent Coulson) didn’t make it to the end credits.

Looking back at the films that followed, it’s hard not to wonder how different the MCU would have been if Quicksilver had been there. Could he have helped turn the tide against Thanos? And what other films or TV shows might we have seen him in?

We’ll never know, but in a new interview with Josh Horowitz, the Kraven the Hunter star was asked directly if there had ever been any discussions with Marvel Studios about a possible return as Pietro.

After drinking something at a suspicious time, he replied: “Well, maybe not everything is out there.”

It’s possible that Kick ass The actor is just having fun here, but this seems to indicate that there have been discussions about bringing Quicksilver back from the dead (something the multiverse makes incredibly easy). In WandaVision, X Men Franchise star Evan Peters was brought in as a replacement, only to learn that he was a Westview resident controlled by Agatha Harkness, rather than a Multiversal Variant.

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

There are no hard feelings, however, as 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.”

He later 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.”

Do you think Taylor-Johnson will return as Quicksilver? Avengers: End of the World and/or Avengers: Secret Wars? It certainly seems more likely that he doesn’t have a new franchise to star in now Kraven the Hunter bombed…

Kraven the Hunter is the action-packed, R-rated standalone story of how one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays Kraven, a man whose complex relationship with his ruthless gangster father Nikolai Kravinoff (Russell Crowe) leads him down a path of revenge with brutal consequences and motivates him to not only become the world’s greatest hunter, but also also one of the most feared.

The cast also includes Ariana DeBose, Fred Hechinger, Alessandro Nivola, Christopher Abbott and Russell Crowe.

Kraven the Hunter is playing in the cinema now.
