It's unclear exactly what his appearance means for this universe - it could be the beginnings of the multiverse, a limited crossover, or we might see a bunch of characters from the X-Men universe show up (Hugh Jackman Wolverine and Michael Fassbender Magneto next please). "Who's the popsicle?" Pietro asks upon seeing Vision, which suggests his memories haven't been rewritten to fit Wanda's narrative (or that he's been estranged from her within the narrative). We already knew the X-Men were going to appear in this universe in some form, but a reboot seemed the most likely entry point - I certainly didn't dare hope we'd see any of the OG cinematic X-Men again (even though Dark Phoenix included a fun MCU Easter egg). She may have been trying to undo her brother's death and accidentally brought the X-Men's Pietro into the MCU. "Long-lost bro get to squeeze his stinkin' sister to death or what?" Pietro says to a shocked Wanda. He's also called "Peter" in the X-Men movies, but Darcy and Wanda both called him Pietro so I'll follow their lead. That became irrelevant when Marvel Studios parent Disney acquired Fox (and the X-Men cinematic rights) in 2019, and it seemed like the Peters version of the character would fade with the Fox X-Men universe. However, Quicksilver and Wanda were major Avengers characters too, so Fox and Marvel Studios came to an arrangement that'd let them use their own version of the characters in their cinematic universes. These weren't set in the MCU, since 21st Century Fox had the cinematic rights to the X-Men characters. The Pietro who arrives at the door in this episode is played by Evan Peters, whom you might remember as the version of the character in the last few X-Men movies - Days of Future Past, Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix. Marvel Studios screenshot by Sean Keane/CNET "She recast Pietro?" asks astrophysicist Darcy Lewis ( Kat Dennings) upon seeing him.ĭon't mind me, just in from another cinematic universe. He was killed by Ultron in that movie, a source of major trauma for Wanda.

The episode ends with the arrival of Wanda's brother, Pietro (aka Quicksilver), whom we last saw played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Avengers: Age of Ultron… in the MCU. Let's put on our fashionable leg warmers, toss back our shiny mullets and dive into the episode.
