One of the biggest stories leading up to the release of X-Men: Days of Future Past was the extremely negative reaction fans had to the look of Evan Peters as Quicksilver in the film. Following the film’s release, many fans have done a complete turnaround on the character, citing him as one of their favorite parts of the film. In an interview with Empire, Peters says that Quicksilver was originally intended to have a more colorful look, but that it was toned down to better fit his character.”I showed up for the wardrobe fitting and he originally had some pretty colorful clothes,” Peters said. “Bright, dorky clothes which were cool but they showed me this punk rocker dude look and it fits the fact he’s a thief a little bit. He likes Pink Floyd and tries to slow himself down a little bit. He needs to try to chill out.”Of course, now that we’ve seen Peters in action as the Quicksilver of the X-Men film universe, all eyes are on Aaron Taylor-Johnson to see how he performs as the Quicksilver of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Avengers: Age of Ultron.X-Men: Days of Future Past is now playing in theaters.
