Avengers 2: Aaron Taylor-Johnson to kick ass as Quicksilver?
Reports suggest the actor has signed up for the role.
According to reports, Joss Whedon has added Aaron Taylor-Johnson to his The Avengers: Age of Ultron cast.
Following months of speculation that the Kick-Ass star will play speedster Quicksilver, Latino Review reports that the actor has finally signed up to play the mutant hero.
[Olsen's Avengers role confirmed?]
While Marvel haven't yet confirmed the news, the actor has been open about being in discussions for the role.
Back in August, Johnson spoke to Total Film about the character:
"There’s years – over 50 years – of backstory on him all there to use, and I like doing that. Him and his sister have been abandoned by their parents and their father, and they grew up in Eastern Europe defending and looking out for themselves and each other.
"His sister really is his guidance – emotionally she’s the one who looks after him, and vice versa. He’s very overprotective physically – he doesn’t want anyone touching her. He has real anger frustration – I like that. I always thought it’d be quite funny if you saw him eating loads and people asked him why and he’d explain it’s because he’s burning so much energy all the time. Or ideas that you’d see him come back round – but he’s already nipped out and got his lunch somewhere else. He just got bored – his attention span is so f**king quick."

The actor went on to discuss how he would approach the role:
"That’s what we’re in talks about really, right now – how I could become that character and not feel forced. I might not look right with white hair, and the accent may be wrong… it just doesn’t work like that."
Samuel L. Jackson all but confirmed that Elizabeth Olsen will play Quicksilver's sister, Scarlet Witch, in an interview last week.
Quicksilver will also appear in Bryan Singer's upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Because of the characters' affiliation with both the Avengers and the X-Men, Marvel Studios and Fox share the screen rights to Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.
The Avengers: Age of Ultron hits cinemas on 1 May, 2015.
