AVENGERS: Age of Ultron

[thalaw2]

I never watched much Boston Legal.....but I was a big fan of The Practice...and I loved him in The Secretary 

[Podmark]

Just saw some concept pics for Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch:

Hmm...
Wanda looks fine as a civilian look.
Pietro is pretty bland looking, but throw a lightning bolt across the chest and it might be fine.

[BentonGrey]

Both are pretty much non-costumes, which hopefully isn't the entire plan, but where the heck is the white hair?!

[thalaw2]

I've never been a fan of Quicksilver's original costume anyway.  I wouldn't mind a change.

[BentonGrey]

He's got plenty to choose from, but a non-costume isn't really an improvement.

[bat1987]

Should have at least had white hair, looks like a random nobody as it is. Maybe they get costumes later in the film?

[Jimaras8]

White hair would look ridiculous. I prefer it that way. I really like Wanda's gpsy-influenced outfit. Anyway these are just their ordinary clothes. When they are enlisted they are gonna get suits.

[BentonGrey]

Don't be silly Jim, white hair wouldn't look ridiculous.  It would be distinctive, and more importantly, it's an inalienable part of the character's visual identity!  They managed to make Wolverine's hair work on the big screen, I can't imagine that there is any argument to be made against the viability of Quicksilver's.  I have a student who has her hair died ALMOST white, and it's quite striking.

I hope you're right about the acquisition of suits.

[bat1987]

Agreed with Benton, as much as I'm for updating looks from time to time, in this case I think it is a very big part of character's visual identity. I actually think the short white hair can look pretty cool.

The hair he has in Xmen : DOTFP looks bad because of the hairstyle, not the color (I don't like his costume either but that's another story).

[BentonGrey]

I just looked that up, and you're not kidding!  #1, it looks like a really terrible dye-job, and #2, it's a terrible style for that kid.

[daglob]

My ex-wife's step mother's hair turned white by the time she was 30. It WAS much more striking than the original brown color.

Besides, if they do this, next thing you know Aquaman will be weaing black leather...

[BentonGrey]

Good heavens, don't joke about it because it is totally what we would see if WB actually got their act together and started making movies.

[Jimaras8]

Well, to be honest benton, i really think it would look ridiculous. Maybe in the comics the connection to magneto justifies the white hair but since Marvel doesn't have rights to muties giving white hair without explanation would look silly. I am always in favor of faithful adaptations in the big screen but some things just don't work. I am really into Pietro's pointy hairstyle though. And i am really glad there are not going with Scarlet Witch's swimsuit costume, it would look horrible.

[BentonGrey]

It doesn't really need an explanation, Jim; Pietro's a mutant.  He's got strange powers, and he'll be sharing the screen with someone in a 'spangly outfit.' 

[spydermann93]

I'm excited to see what they do with the two mutants, and I just hope that they aren't in the movie just to be in the movie. As long as they get the character's personalities right (and they fit in with the story), then the design won't matter too much to me (as long as it's within reasoning).

Would I prefer that he does have white hair? Of course. Would he look good in white hair? Probably, but I won't be upset if he didn't have white hair.

If they can put the same amount of love into Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver that they put in virtually every other character in the Marvel Studio movies, then I don't think that I'll be disappointed.  Do I expect them to be as adored as Tom Hiddleston? Nah, but close would be nice

[Podmark]

I don't like Quicksilver's hair in the picture, but it's not because it's not white (thought that would be cool) it's because it seems dark. If you're not going to go with white, then go with a light blond. This looks more like a dirty blond or brown.
Regardless I think the hair will just be a minor thing with me, but who knows maybe I'll watch the movie and it will bug me.

Pietro's outfit looks pretty involved for a civilian look, but it's possible. Depending on their roles in this film we might not see the twins in proper costumes.


From all the quotes I've seen Whedon seems pretty excited to put those two in the film so I expect they'll have a significant role.

[daglob]

If they start changing hair color just for... maybe realism?... anyway, Lorna Dane could end up a redhead.

[Thunder]

Not to worry about Quicksilver's hair:

[BentonGrey]

Well, it's the right color...sorta'...so, that's good.  That guy doesn't look terribly Quicksilver-ish to me, though.  Hopefully we'll see a more costumed version later. 

Also: Come on Joss!  Give us a more Hawkeye looking costume for Hawkeye!

[Podmark]

Hmm...well he looks alright. Not too sure about the beard but it could work. Clearly these are non-costume looks I'm pretty sure.

I actually like movie Hawkeye's look. Not that I wouldn't like something else more.

I thought Hawkeye's non-costume was fine for the first movie, but now's their chance to make him look more like himself.

[Podmark]

So it seems there has been an addition to Hawkeye's costume.

Looks like he's added a styled jacket.

Not sure how I feel about it, but it's a pretty blurry picture.

[hoss20]

I saw a quick preview of X-Men: Days of Future Past on Inkmaster tonight, as the challenge this week was doing portrait tattoos of the movie X-Men and Hugh Jackman made an appearance on the show. I was a bit surprised to see Quicksilver in the preview and he was identified by name. Was some sort of agreement made between Fox and Marvel Studios/Disney to allow for the character (regardless of his respective origins) to appear in both X-Men and the Avengers? He is listed as Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver for both films, that is if I can take the IMDB cast/character list as accurate. This was news to me and I'm sorry if I missed discussion of this elsewhere.

I guess I could have posted this is the X-Men thread, but being that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were just being heavily discussed, I figured I'd post here.

Since Quicksilver is very heavily split between Avengers and X-Men, Marvel Studios somehow managed to work out a deal that as long as they don't refer to mutants or any ties to Magneto in Avengers 2: Age Of Ultron and Fox doesn't reference the Scarlet Witch or anything Avengers related in X-Men: Days Of Future Past that it would be allowable.

Things would be so much easier if they were all under the same studio but for the interest of both sides getting to use Quicksilver they managed to work it out.

The jacket with it's purple highlights and the purple bow he's also sporting appear to be an attempt to get him closer to him comic book look without giving up the whole agent look they are going for.  It's not a bad compromise, IMO.

[BentonGrey]

Ehh, that looks vaguely Hawkeye-ish, but give the man a mask or something for heaven's sakes.

[Jimaras8]

I don't think he needs the mask Benton so much as the glasses that his modern look has. Throw a pair of Purple glasses in there as in the comics and you are set. Modern Hawkeye is my favourite incarnation of the character. I am still confused though about Pietro's hair. It seems as a wig but since it's pre-production i think that the brown won't be visible in the movie. I would still prefer the concept art hairstyle though.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

He's a SHIELD agent, so the mask would make no sense whatsoever in this setting.  Purple glasses or goggles with a mask-inspired look would work, though.

[Podmark]

Purple shades were part of the design at some point. I don't recall if they were ever used in the film though.

Pietro's hair looks like he needs to fire his hair stylist. Talk about dark roots...
