In X-Men: Days of Future Past we had some wonderful moments, but one of the best, most popular came in the form of Evan Peters portrayal of Pietro Maximoff, a.k.a. Quicksilver. In it, we saw the world from his perspective when he used his mutant power, which is superspeed, to save Professor Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lensherr (Michael Fassbender) a.k.a. Magneto, from some guards in a kitchen.
Here’s the scene in case you A. forgot what I’m talking about or B. just want to see it again. Which you should.
What was slow motion to him would be a blur to the rest of us, as he moved bullets, pulled down caps and knocked men together. It was a one of the best visualizations of a mutant’s power since Nightcrawler in X-2.
Honestly, while we’re at it, here’s that scene. BAMF!
And now, according to the actor, has spoken to Collider about his upcoming role in X-Men: Apocalypse and said that there’s even more of that in this film, which should come as no surprise. As he said, “Yeah, Quicksilver does his thing again.” However, what might be a bit more of a surprise was just how much of this sequence we might see. As Peters said, “It’s bigger, longer, and more detailed. I think it’s an amazing sequence that they’ve pulled together.” He then went on to say that they “shot for 22 days of second unit, working on that sequence.”
Twenty-two days on one sequence. That is an insane amount of time. To put things into perspective, you can shoot an indie drama in 22 days. Most big budget productions shoot for about three months. This one sequence took up 30% of that time. So it seems we can expect to see some pretty epic stuff out of Quicksilver in this upcoming film!
