Why not dye his hair white?

Looks like a really bad wig.

 

[ReiGun]

Both look pretty awful.

 

[Mariolee]

I was expecting this from Marvel:

 

[Toa TAK]

I was expecting this from Marvel:

Me, too. I thought this looked great.

 

[Dennis]

 

[brandonh83]

Both suck.

Yep. Hopefully it translates better to film, but damn, I'm really worried about that character in both movies.

 

[BLACKLAC]

I was expecting this from Marvel:

You were expecting an action shot?

 

[-griffy-]

I was expecting this from Marvel:

That's exactly the outfit he is wearing, and presumably when he is running fast his hair will be blown back like that.

 

[.GqueB.]

I was expecting this from Marvel:

You're comparing a production still to an illustrated action shot? Lol, c'mon gaiz.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I was expecting this from Marvel:

It will look like that more than the deliberately taken out of context production shot I can assure you.

LOL look how shitty Ruffalo looks as Hulk!

 

[Slayven]

Yep. Hopefully it translates better to film, but damn, I'm really worried about that character in both movies.

Quicksliver is a type of smugness that requires a daft touch.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

That's like, the exact same thing. The photo in the OP isn't going to look like concept art of an action shot.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

 

[Exotoro]

i'm not going to lie

i like the x-men days of future past design just a little better for some odd, mysterious reason

 

[PaulExcellent]

Both costumes are eh.
The character himself dresses eh, so no surprise.

 

[Prompto]

Poor guy on the right.

 

[Messypandas]

You sold my dead bird to a blind kid?

 

[Duane Cunningham]

It will look like that more than the deliberately taken out of context production shot I can assure you.

LOL look how shitty Ruffalo looks as Hulk!

I know that Banner is supposed to be nerdy, but having him wear that Zelda pattern just takes it too far.

 

[Discotheque]

Maybe the Bowie influence I dunno. He looks like he'll be a more interesting character in scenes going by the weird look

 

[Cjdamon042]

Exactamundo!

MCU has the superior QuickSilver.

Spoiler

I know her scale doesn't really work but I don't care.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

Now someone post the porn version.

 

[Kinyou]

It will look like that more than the deliberately taken out of context production shot I can assure you.

I'd love to see the entire movie with non cgi hulk.

 

[Spinluck]

I can't believe this is the Hulk's final design.

 

[Funky Papa]

I guess I'll post this here, too

MCU Quicksilver looks utterly ridic, but I'll refrain from judging until I see some promotional pictures/video.

I remember that the first pictores from Captain America: The First Avenger looked like hot garbage, yet the movie ended up having some of the strongest art direction of the entire MCU, easily on par with Thor.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Spoiler

I know her scale doesn't really work but I don't care.

Haha

 

[Fusebox]

Thought this was going to be about the Kevin Bacon bike messenger movie

Me too! Best bike messenger movie of all time.

 

[Effect]

I vote we stop going "OMG THEY GOT IT SO WRONG" and instead realize Quicksilver is just a douchey idiot who has always looked dumb.

One looks like a total tool from the 70's, the other looks like a total tool in 2014.

This has largely been overlooked I think when people talk about the Days of Future Past version of the character. We're dealing with a character being shown in two different eras. I'm sure a X-men Quicksilver during the same time as The Wolverine and X-men The Last Stand would have a different outfit.

Also it's going to be interesting to see what their personalities and acting is like. People knocking on the X-men version but it's possible he might come off as the more likeable of the two versions. People could hate the Avengers versions for all we know even with a possibly better outfit.

 

[-griffy-]

'm sure a X-men Quicksilver during the same time as The Wolverine and X-men The Last Stand would have a different outfit.

Yeah he would have some dumb, awkward looking black-leather outfit with headphones and goggles.

I don't remember members of the Brotherhood wearing leather uniforms in X-3.

 

[Spinluck]

I remember GAF making a gigantic deal over all set photos really.

These look fine, aside from QS looking like his has a bad wig on and those sneakers lol.

 

[Discotheque]

I guess I'll post this here, too

Speaking of captain America y'all see this recently? Watched it again in anticipation of the sequel and hoooooly shit WOAT cg in the first 45 minutes

What were they thinking with putting his face on that dudes body. It was like that twilight baby all over again, I swear I noticed a scene when his head moved and his face didn't for a split second too

The vibe was pretty decent though. Steve Rogers is a good dude, movie regresses funnily enough once he actually becomes captain America.

 

[Devolution]

So they managed to make him look stupid in two polar opposite ways. Wow.

 

[Angelus Errare]

dat scarlet witch

The superior Olsen.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Maybe there was something in the agreement between Fox and Marvel that said that both of them could use Quicksilver but they had to make him look as stupid as possible.

They should have ditched the white hair, canon be damned. White hair on a young person is something that is impossible to not make look stupid in live action.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

I'm glad they dyed his hair. Hopefully his costume looks better on screen. Looks like it might be regular clothes going by the way Scarlet Witch is basically just wearing an outfit. She looks great IMO.

EDIT: Ok, other pics look better. Definitely just an outfit. Weird choice with the beard though.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

Marvel's Quicksilver wins by default just because nothing is worse than Singer's Quicksilver.

I don't even care how accurate or right it is or whatever, I've never really cared about that sort of thing. I just think they look bad period. Maybe some people think they look bad due to accuracy but I think they look bad due to not... looking good.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

It will look like that more than the deliberately taken out of context production shot I can assure you.

LOL look how shitty Ruffalo looks as Hulk!

I doubt they are going to use CGI to fix his hair, which is the dumbest looking part.

 

[Funky Papa]

White hair could have worked if the actor had the smugness of Assange. Alas...

 

[Mudcrab]

The Superior

Didn't somebody post a thread here once dying his hair white to look more anime?

You talking about Cap? That's Evan's actual body. They shrunk the body with CG.

 

[Slayven]

I just want them to nail the arrogance.

 

[Mudcrab]

They have to nail why he's such a jerk.

 

[Funky Papa]

They have to nail why he's such a jerk.

He even has an ahoge.

Pietro is so tsundere~

Forreal? The face was so off though, thought they used a body double for that reason

 

[Miles Quaritch]

AoU QS looks much better than DoFP QS...

Although the character does seem like he would be hard to bring to the big screen without him looking a little ridiculous.

 

[Blader]

Maybe the Bowie influence I dunno. He looks like he'll be a more interesting character in scenes going by the weird look

You mean, the one scene.

 

[Slayven]

I had to look that up, I am sad you knew it Funky

Thing is in DOFP, Quicksilver is nothing more than a minor character, whereas he is going to have a more prominent role in AOU.
