Quicksilver And The Scarlet Witch Will Be In The Avengers 2
Joss Whedon is certainly keeping busy with Marvel. Having written and directed the mega-blockbuster, The Avengers, he is now launching Marvel’s first live-action TV show, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., while also preparing Marvel's The Avengers 2.
I spoke to Whedon this week at ABC’s Upfront, where S.H.I.E.L.D. was being announced and asked him a couple of questions about Avengers 2 and some of the characters in it.
Whedon had previously alluded to a brother/sister duo being in the film, which EW later said was indeed Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. When I brought up Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch to Whedon, he confirmed they were the characters in question, explaining, “You know, they had a rough beginning. They’re interesting to me because they sort of represent the part of the world that wouldn’t necessarily agree with The Avengers. So they’re not there to make things easier. I’m not putting any characters in the movie that will make things easier.”
We also know Tony Stark/Iron Man plays another large role in the sequel, but the end of Iron Man 3 saw Tony destroying all the Iron Man suits we knew about, while seemingly stepping back from his time in the armor.
When I asked Whedon if that made it a challenge putting Iron Man in Avengers 2, he remarked, “Well, I feel like in Iron Man 3, even though he said, ‘I’ve changed' -- he blew up his remote suits, but I don’t think anybody thinks he doesn’t have one anymore. The question is, if The Avengers are called, does he show up? And the answer is, ‘Yes!’”

Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch In The Avengers 2?
About how far he was with the script Whedon said this:
"I have finished a draft and I'm redoing it now. I think it's in really good shape. We're in a very good place,"
As many, many people loved The Avengers movie, it will be hard to live up to the expectations. This is what Joss Whedon had to say about the pressure he feels:
"I try not to think of it as topping it. I try to think of this as its own movie. Sometime yeah, I feel pressure and by the way, Shane (Black) not helping, Iron Man 3 not helping, because I saw this and man he really got it right. But when you're in the story and you're dealing with these characters that you love, that everybody loves, when you've got the new characters sliding in next to them it's very exciting. Then I don't feel pressure, it's like I'm reading my favorite comic."
And talking about new characters, Whedon is planning to introduce at least two now characters in the second The Avengers movie.
"I've got these two characters, two of my favorite characters from the comic book, a brother-sister act. They're in the movie."
As we all know, the most famous brother-sister duo from comics are the Storms, Johnny and Sue from the Fantastic Four, and Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, who were part of The Avengers in the comics.
The problem with the Storms is that their rights are with Fox, but the rights of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are with both Marvel and Fox. It is very likely then that these two characters will make an appearance on The Avengers two.
