Yeah, per Tony, the Avengers as an actual group were no more at the start of Infinity War. It seemed like Black Widow had them back in action during The Blip, but it certain seemed like they re-disbanded post-Endgame.
It’s been a while since I saw the Fox X-Men movies - did their version of Quicksilver talk like an extra from The Sopranos? I think Cervaise is right - this is some regular person remolded into Wanda’s brother, and the casting is a joke for the audience, not something with plot significance.
Speaking of accents, did anyone notice that when Wanda stepped out of the anomaly to confront the SWORD agents, she was speaking with a distinct Eastern European (presumably, Sokovian) accent?
That being said, I don’t think we’re dealing with multiple reality Wandas, I think we’re dealing with multiple personality Wandas.
He talked like that because he is being mind controlled into playing a cool sitcom uncle. That has nothing to do with who he actually is.
When Vision broke the mind control on his coworker, he still had the same accent - he didn’t have the cornball dialogue, but he still sounded like the same dude. I don’t recall the Fox Quicksilver having a notable New York accent, but like I said, it’s been a while since I’ve seen those movies.
I think there’s almost no chance Evan Peters showed up as a joke. The fans would hate that, I think – they want it to be significant, and have something to do with Disney’s acquisition of the X-Men rights… and one thing the MCU has been great at is giving the fans what they want.
Yeah. Same way that Wanda is assuming an American accent in Westview, except
when she breaks character while throwing Monica out or speak to Hayward - then she uses the character’s movie accent
Eh, maybe. As a fan, I’d be okay with it. I’ll actually be a little disappointed if their way of bringing mutants into the MCU is “they’re from an alternate reality.”
They’re on Disney+. I just checked. In the FoX-Men movies, he had a generic middle American accent, very different from the voice he uses on WandaVision. He’s also Peter, not Pietro, and is an only child.
However…
As you point out, Wanda also has a fake accent in her reality bubble. I agree with @DigitalC - as the “Uncle Jesse” analog, his reality bubble character has a cheesy New York accent.
If this casting is just an Easter Egg for fans with no plot relevance, I seriously think that will come close to ruining this series for me. Everything up to that scene was carefully scripted and plotted clues as to what’s really going on. If the show wants us to pay attention to small details, then a big, obvious, in-your-face detail that the series narratively and structurally emphasizes winds up being a meaningless in-joke, that’s terrible writing and casting.
The beekeeper guy also was able to enter the Hex and survive. Did we find out what happened to him after Wanda “rewound” seeing him climb out of the sewer?
I don’t think so. SWORD lost contact with him when his line snapped, and I’m pretty sure him climbing out of the sewer then being re-wound was the last we saw of him (“we” being both the IRL audience and the in-universe audience).
I don’t think that’s a fake accent - I think Wanda’s simply lost her accent from living abroad for so long. She doesn’t have an accent in Infinity War, at least that I can detect. If I’m right about that being a different personality, it makes sense that the personality formed to keep Wanda safe at all costs, even at the expense of others, would be the version of her that was a Hydra terrorist, which was back when she still had a Sokovian accent.
He actually does have a red-headed sister in the Fox universe. But not a twin. A younger sister that was clearly a nod (or abandoned foreshadowing) to Wanda.
Ah, thanks. I did not remember that at all, and she didn’t appear in the scene I reviewed to check on his accent.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Darcy is calling the anomaly “hex” or that Wanda has twins. It’s a way to bring mutants into the story through the “House of M” storyline. It could be that the snap awakened the mutant genes, in Wanda et al.
Mephisto or Chthon or some combination is lurking in the shadows.
I linked to the pic in my edit. She was sitting on his lap, dressed all fortune teller-y, when we first meet him
Regarding Fox’s Quicksilver, unless he also traveled through time, he would be 70ish years old right now.
She clearly drops it when not “in character” on TV camera. As noted, she moved into the Sovakian accent they had created for her when “off camera” with Monica.
He was active in the Eighties, which is when this episode of “WandaVision” was set.
But “now” is the 1990s in the Hex.
Regarding Wanda’s accent:
They called it.
