Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s first movie as a superhero lead (or anti-hero), “Kraven The Hunter,” comes out in theaters this weekend (read our review). It’s not tracking to great numbers and could be the end of Sony’s “Spider-Man” villains spin-off universe. But obviously, it’s not his first superhero rodeo. Taylor-Johnson has already starred in “Kick-Ass” and played Quicksilver in “Avengers: Age Of Ultron.”

The character infamously died before the movie was even over, one of the rare MCU superhero characters to not even last one movie. But could he come back one day, or are plans maybe even in the works to do so? Well, in a recent Happy Sad Confused interview promoting ‘Kraven,’ ATJ suggested there could be more to come.
Asked why he didn’t return or if he ever could, Taylor-Johnson conspicuously drank a sip of coffee to avoid answering the question, which the HSC host picked up immediately and remarked on. Taking a beat to think about it, the actor said with a sly smile, “Well, maybe not everything is out there,” meaning perhaps conversations with Marvel have been had, but the public, or the interviewer, doesn’t know about them yet.

Quicksilver, of course, was revived in the MCU in “WandaVision,” only this time he was played by Evan Peters, the version of Quicksilver that was in 20th Century Fox’s “X-Men” movies before Disney owned them.
Taylor-Johnson also addressed that in a separate interview this week with Total Film, quipping that he wasn’t sure why he didn’t turn up in “WandaVision.”
“Phenomenal actor. Absolute star and a wonderful person,” Taylor-Johnson said about working alongside Elizabeth Olsen. “We play husband and wife in ‘Godzilla,’ and we play brother and sister in ‘Avengers,’ I don’t know why she didn’t resurrect me, though,” he laughed.
Could Taylor-Johnson return as Quicksilver rather than Evan Peters next time? Well, maybe Marvel’s decided they both should get a shot at it? After all, three “X-Men” were already teased at the end of “The Marvels”—Beast, Binary and Professor X (the latter referenced, but not seen—so it seems pretty self-evident that a multiverse version of “The X-Men” could easily end up in the saga-spanning “Avengers: Secret Wars.” Not to mention Wolverine, Deadpool and Gambit are also X-Men characters that could appear to fill out that roster.
Given the infinite possibilities of the multiverse, anything’s possible, so I wouldn’t discount this one out of hand.
