Warning: Major Spoilers for Avengers: Age of Ultron below.
Still With Us?
In his latest round of Avengers: Age of Ultron
post-premiere interviews, director Joss Whedon has revealed that he
filmed an ending with a very different outcome. And for anyone who’s
seen the film can probably guess, that outcome involves a living and
breathing Quicksilver, who perished in the film’s final act.
As Whedon described it, he filmed a separate ending where
Quicksilver recovers from his numerous bullet wounds and joins Captain
America’s New Avengers squad. He even received a fancy new costume to
boot.
As Whedon described it to Empire:
“We did actually shoot him in the last scene, in an outfit,
with his sister. We also shot him, waking up, saying, 'Ah, I didn’t
really die from these 47 bullet wounds!' Actually, we shot something
else with that, but... maybe I’ll let you know about that later. But the
intent was to earn this, and then you have to stand by it.”
Whedon has said in other interviews that Age of Ultron’s
eventual Blu-Ray release will feature several deleted scenes, so
hopefully Quicksilver’s more fortunate fate is included among them.
Do you wish Quicksilver had survived Age of Ultron? Let us know in the comments below.
