In an
recent interview to TF, actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson talked about Quicksilver in
The Avengers: Age Of Ultron and how he would play him. He also gave a hint that
although nothing is yet official, the talks he is having with Joss Whedon and
Marvel are about how the character would look and be on the film and not necessarily
about money or scheduling.
““There's
years - over 50 years - of backstory on him all there to use, and I like doing
that. Him and his sister [Scarlet Witch] have been abandoned by their parents
and their father, and they grew up in Eastern Europe defending and looking out
for themselves and each other.
“His
sister really is his guidance - emotionally she's the one who looks after him,
and vice versa. He's very overprotective physically - he doesn't want anyone
touching her.”
On
the appeal of the character, he told us: “He has real anger frustration - I
like that. I always thought it'd be quite funny if you saw him eating loads and
people asked him why and he'd explain it's because he's burning so much energy
all the time. Or ideas that you'd see him come back round - but he's already
nipped out and got his lunch somewhere else. He just got bored - his attention
span is so fucking quick.”
He
also spoke about the physical transformation that the role would require, and
admitted that he’s keen to go for an ‘out there’ performance in the vein of
some of his Kick-Ass co-stars:
“That's
what we're in talks about really, right now - how I could become that character
and not feel forced. I might not look right with white hair, and the accent may
be wrong... it just doesn't work like that.
“It's
about - unless you're Jim Carrey or Nic Cage and go 'This is the character',
people go ‘OK, OK…’
“When
people haven't been shown your range like that, then they're a bit more
skeptical - they may not want you to push the boundaries in that way. But
that's what I'm interested in as an actor…””
