Joss Whedon wasn't thrilled about DOFP Quicksilver and Flash

Quote :

In light of Quicksilver's appearance in X-Men: Days of Future Past last year, as well as the ongoing television series based on DC Comics' own Scarlet Speedster, The Flash, Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige and Avengers: Age of Ultron writer-director Joss Whedon set out to make their portrayal of Pietro Maximoff very distinctive. However, actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson says he initially struggled with how his character would look while running. Apparently, the filming process originally involved Taylor-Johnson sprinting on a treadmill in front of green screen, but “There was no real life to it,” he told BuzzFeed on-set last year. “It looked really dull,” he added, so the Marvel production decided to just film the running sequences outdoors. “The more dynamic or the messier my arms were or the wider my legs were, [and] the more I changed up the wave and the rhythm of the running, the better,” he said. “It feels more emotional and expressive. It’s a lot more fun that way.” 

About Quicksilver appearing in both Age of Ultron and X-Men: Days of Future Past, BuzzFeed also spoke with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige: “It’s a unique scenario; That’s the only character where that could happen, and it happened,” he commented. Meanwhile, Joss Whedon reassured that he had always planned to introduce both Quicksilver and his sister, the Scarlet Witch in
The Avengers sequel. he had informed Marvel Studios shared his reaction to the “And then, you know, months after I started, they were like, [Days of Future Past] just changed Juggernaut to Quicksilver. I’m like, What?!” he explained. Though both Whedon and Feige praised Quicksilver's highlight sequence in Days of Future Past, they were quick to dismiss comparisons. “We knew it would be very different based on the various interpretations of the character through the comic,” Feige said. “It may as well be different characters.” “There’s going to be an entire season of The Flash that’s gone on before my movie too, and what Aaron is doing and what I wanted him to do is so different from what they were doing in that movie, that I think we’re fine,” Joss Whedon added. “I think there’s room for more than one Quicksilver. But yeah, I was never thrilled.”

In addition to debuting an exclusive Avengers: Age of Ultron featurette and still images (both of which you can check out here), BuzzFeed talked more with  Whedon about the much-anticipated movie's run-time, dream sequences, cameos and "super siblings" (here). What do you think?

Guess he's just upset that they've beat him to the punch.

Despite not being upset about it, but okay.

It was a joke.

He wasn't thrilled about there being a second Quicksilver, not The Flash.

Whedon's Quicksilver seems slower than DOFP Quicksilver. No wonder he wasn't thrilled about it.

Makes me wonder how the film version of The Flash will be handled. I love that Snyder will have control of The Flash and we'll probably see some of the best visuals for any of the speedsters.

Snyder's Flash will probably look better visually. Because as much as people love Marvel movies, their visual effects looks half-assed at times. Probably due to keeping the budget low as possible. Snyder and Warner Bros. on the other hand, put a little more effort into their visual effects than Marvel. Hopefully people will acknowledge that when Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice comes out.
