Whedon Confirms Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch in Avengers 2

Speaking to IGN at ABC’s Upfront this week, Joss Whedon confirmed that the mutant siblings, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, are indeed in Avengers.

“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.”

Not sure what that “rough beginnings” statement means, but could be alluding to the brother sister duo’s origins being tied up with Magneto which is the part of the Marvel verse owned by Fox.  If that’s the case, then it appears something was worked out to everyone’s satisfaction.

That may not be the case with all of the Avengers.  Ign further reports that several of the original cast may be replaced due to contract differences.
