Wandavision Writer Jac Schaeffer Says There S A Sad Reason Why Evan Peters Replaced Quicksilver

WandaVision’s Jac Schaeffersays that there’s actually a sad reason why Evan Peters ended up replacing Quicksilver. The developments around Wanda Maximoff’s brother ended up being one of the most hotly debated elements of the show. In a recent conversation with Empire Magazine’s film podcast, Schaeffer explained that it was supposed to be a meta-joke and a clever nod toward the ways that grief can cloud your memory. But, the fans saw an opening and ran wild with theories. (Not the wrong course of action, but one that proved to be a wild time on social media in the days after the finale.) A lot of people felt like they were duped by that choice. Somehow, Peters’ inclusion was supposed to usher in the FOX multiverse and more X-Men. But, it was not to be as WandaVision prided itself on being the sort of intimate character study that gripped the entire Internet for almost two months.
