Evan Peters Breaks Silence on Quicksilver Comeback as Avengers: Doomsday Rumors Explode

Evan Peters just cracked the door on a Quicksilver comeback in the MCU, fanning fresh buzz as Avengers: Doomsday rumors race ahead.

Quicksilver might not be done sprinting through Marvel just yet. Evan Peters is talking about it again, and he sounds more curious than closed off. If you were hoping for a definitive yes or no, you are not getting it. But the door is cracked open.

What Evan Peters actually said

Peters chatted with ComicBook about whether he would ever suit up again as Peter Maximoff, the speedster he played in Fox's X-Men movies (first popping up in 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past, then returning for Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix).

'No, haha. No, actually. I'm curious.'

That was his response when asked if the endless fan theories wear him out. He went on to say he had a blast playing the character, he would be into digging further into Quicksilver's oddball home life, and he specifically called out that exploring the family dynamic with Magneto would be cool. He even tossed in a hopeful little 'knock on wood.'

The WandaVision wrinkle

Yes, he popped up in Marvel's WandaVision back in 2021, which set the internet on fire and kicked off six months of think pieces. That turned out to be a fakeout, not a straight-up import of his X-Men character, but it kept the conversation going and primed the multiverse crowd to keep connecting dots. Marvel has not confirmed any actual Quicksilver return for Peters.

Why the timing matters

This is where the inside baseball starts. The MCU multiverse arc keeps this kind of comeback viable, and the next big Avengers chapters are reportedly folding in Fox-era X-Men faces. If these plans hold, the table is being set for all kinds of crossovers.

• Avengers: Doomsday is reportedly directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and set for December 18, 2026. The lineup reportedly includes Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen as Magneto, James Marsden as Cyclops, and Rebecca Romijn as Mystique.
• Avengers: Secret Wars is said to arrive December 17, 2027, and is also expected to bring back X-Men actors from the Fox era.

So, is Peters back or not?

Short answer: not officially. He says he is open, he is curious, and he is game to explore Magneto family drama if Marvel calls. That is it. No announcement. No deal. Just a guy who liked playing a fast mutant and would do it again under the right circumstances.

What he is doing next

In the meantime, Peters is headed to the Grid. He stars as Julian Dillinger in Tron: Ares, due out in October 2025.

Bottom line: the Quicksilver rumor mill is going to keep humming. Peters is not shutting it down, the multiverse gives Marvel cover to make it happen, and the next two Avengers movies are reportedly rolling out the red carpet for Fox-era X-Men. If Marvel wants to press go, the runway is there.
