Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch Posters for 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'


So what was the hold up, Marvel? We were receiving character posters for Avengers: Age of Ultron pretty much on a daily basis for awhile there, and the assumption was that villains (and likely future Avengers) Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch would be part of it. Turns out they were just making us wait awhile longer as the villainous siblings now have their own posters. Can Vision be far behind?

Godzilla stars Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor-Johnson feature on these one-sheets, teasing the characters' superhuman abilities. Scarlet Witch has power of chaos magic, which manifest in the form of "hex bolts", although in the comics she's grown way beyond that. Quicksilver's name should tell you everything about his power; he's a super speedster with a super snotty attitude to match. But the one thing he cares about more than himself is his sister, and it will be interesting to see how that aspect gets played up in the film.

Directed by Joss Whedon, Avengers: Age of Ultron opens May 1st.
