![]() ![]() I have to say, seeing him take down Hawkeye is far more satisfying to me personally than most others might find it to be. It doesn’t have the Chaos Magic element to it that makes it harder to explain. Super-speed is a pretty straightforward power that is easy to grasp. ![]() ![]() Pietro/Quicksilver seems truer to his comic book self. We also see Wanda using what I assume will be her equivalents of Hex Bolts, which will be some sort of psionic force blasts that tie-in to her distortion powers. Mutants, a la the X-Men, fall under the cinematic purview of Fox and I don’t figure Fox has any interest in striking up a character-loaning deal l ike Sony did with Spider-Man. Speaking of Inhumans, the twins will–per speculation– likely be the first two in the MCU to be described as Inhumans, foreshadowing a much bigger play on the horizon wherein Marvel introduces plenty of humans with powers who are not mutants. It’s all about localized “reality/perception manipulation” with that Witch. We see her manipulating the minds of the Avengers - not so much in a telekinesis sort of way, but more like an Inhuman-powered version of, say, DC’s Scarecrow-fear-toxin. Scarlet Witch seems to display slightly altered powers for the film, but are still relatively close in execution. In their MCU canon, however, Marvel is replacing the Brotherhood/Magneto connection with (most likely) HYDRA/Ultron, and then as they do in the comic universe will join the side of the righteous and seek revenge for their past mistreatment. This vaguely mirrors their comic book history in the comics, Magneto conscripted the two - who are actually his children - to his menacing Brotherhood of Mutants. Scanning the few scenes from trailers that have featured the twins leads one to surmise that, as they have been under the controlling and deviously experimental claws of HYDRA, they will likely begin the film as unwitting antagonists. The Twins were officially introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the end-credits bumper of Captain America: Winter Soldier, and they are more than taking center stage in the upcoming Avengers film.
