Joss Whedon has confirmed that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch will appear in "The Avengers 2"
In an interview with Ign the director confirmed the rumors about bringing the two popular characters from the Marvel universe to the next "Avengers" movie. Whedon stated "You know, they had a rough beginning. They're interesting to me because they sort of represent the part of the world that wouldn't necessarily agree with The Avengers. So they're not there to make things easier. I'm not putting any characters in the movie that will make things easier."
In the comics, the two heroes were siblings and first appeared in the "X-Men" comics in 1964. They have since made appearances in "Avenger" story lines over the years.
The news only creates more excitement as fans were already excited to see at the end of the first film that Thanos would be the main villain in the next movie. However the next question that will come into play is who will star as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch? Wheedon did not approach that subject but rumors should shortly start coming out.
However he did give some spoilers and stated that Tony Stark would return. Audiences were skeptical about his return because at the end of "Iron Man 3," Stark explodes all his suits. However, Whedon responded, "Well, I feel like in Iron Man 3, even though he said, 'I've changed' -- he blew up his remote suits, but I don't think anybody thinks he doesn't have one anymore. The question is, if The Avengers are called, does he show up? And the answer is, 'Yes!'"
Marvel is currently developing phase three of "The Avengers." Phase two will be completed by "Thor 2" and "Captain America "Winter Solder."
"The Avengers 2" is slated to be released in 2015 and will start shooting in the early part of 2014.
