In fact, if either of them could get the other to back off, they would," HitFix reports. "The thing is, Bryan Singer has designed a sequence [for DOFP] that he feels only works with Quicksilver, and Joss Whedon feels that there is a pressing reason for Quicksilver to show up in The Avengers 2, and so what we're going to see is a legally-negotiated stand-off in which we'll get two totally different versions of one character." The report goes on to say that while Quicksilver's role in DOFP will likely be closer to a cameo than anything else, with just one major scene, his role in Avengers 2 and the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole will be much larger, with much bigger plans. They reaffirm, as we reported, that no mention of the character's other-worldly existence can be made in either film; without a mutant origin, that means if an origin for Pietro and Wanda's powers is given, it will have to be independent of the mutant gene.
