Why is there a different actor playing Pietro in WandaVision?
Evan Peters has played Quicksilver/Peter Maximoff (close enough to Pietro, right?) in the X-Men franchise since Days of Future Past in 2014. One of the most important reasons for having different actors play the same character is due to studio interference.
Why did they switch Quicksilver in WandaVision?
At first, it is implied that Wanda has somehow raised her brother from the dead with a brand new appearance, but eventually, it is revealed that the villain Agatha Harkness has purposefully manipulated a man named Ralph into pretending to be Quicksilver, and Wanda had nothing to do with it.
What happened to the original Pietro in WandaVision?
The MCU Pietro (Taylor Johnson) was killed by Ultron during Avengers: Age of Ultron. The X-Men Pietro (Evan Peters) is alive and well, as far as we know. In WandaVision, Agatha “recasts” Pietro with Peters playing the role instead of Johnson.
Did Pietro get recast?
This is a titanic shift for the MCU. This Pietro is played by Evan Peters—who played Pietro/Quicksilver in the X-Men movies—rather than Aaron-Taylor Johnson, who played Pietro in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
