After bringing you the first set of images from AVENGERS sequel THE AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON you now bring you confirmation as to which side new characters Quicksilver, Scarlett Witch and The Vision will be on. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly returning director Joss Whedon confirmed that the twin-tearaways would be 100% team Ultron (at least in the beginning).
“They’re on Team Ultron, which makes things really hard for the Avengers because all of sudden they’re dealing with powers that they’re not used to. With the [first] AVENGERS, everybody pretty much had the power of being able to punch somebody. And now we have a woman who can get inside your head and move objects, and a boy that can move faster than anything, and a robot [Ultron] who can self-replicate and is out of his mind. So all of sudden, it’s a darker, weirder, tougher world that they’re living in.”
The new brother and sister duo is played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen, were first glimpsed during the CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER easter egg. Wheddon revealed that the two orphans will have an uncontrollable rage towards people outside of themselves with The Avengers set to get the full brunt of it:
“I’m interested because there’s familial issues with that kind of resentment. You can sort of go deeper and I can play with their relationships and I can play with attitudes. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver hate them with a fiery hate…”
THE AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON stars Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Mark Ruffalo all return alongside director Joss Whedon. It hits screens the world over from 24th April 2015.
