Saw her on Jimmy Fallon the other day plugging some hole in the wall theatre troupe she was involved in. Glad she's actually getting a solid role in a film
 
So how are they gonna incorporate magic here? Everything to date has been super advanced science or alien stuff.

Thor could talk of other dimensions besides Asgard and Mid-guard from where she must derive her powers. Piertro was born with it and claims to be a "evolved human"

Mutant is not trademarked. X-Men is.
 
She looks close to what I imagine the actor looking like for her character.

Its all depending on whether or not her acting is shit though..

There's talk of Marvel adapting the Inhumans to the MCU to replace mutants. They're already setting this up in the comics, as I understand.

Marvel Comics are going to start pushing the Inhumans hard starting at the end of the year. They are getting their own event, characters and series from comics superstar Matt Fraction and dozen of artist. Its the most important book of his life.

He was also one of the very first X-Men.

Wanda and Pietro debuted in Uncanny X-Men, as well, but they got moved over to Avengers pretty damn quickly.

They're mostly known for being Avengers. They were retconned into being Magneto's children 20 years after they became Avengers.

So will Pietro be the first on screen Inhuman and talk of someone called Black Bolt
Both good and bad I guess. Thanks a lot Fox!! Enjoy your wolverine saga!!

Isn't scarlet witch mad overpowered? It's been a while, I can't remember

She has a lot of potential for being extremely powerful, but she does have limits, such as her powers being fairly local in their effectiveness, and being prone to overextending herself, which has the tendency to have her hexes backfire, or even undo themselves entirely.

So Fox doesn't have dibs on the Inhumans by way of Fantastic Four?

Nope, and there's no limit to which way they can use them. Disney has a limit on which they can use the Skrulls, which they haven't clarified yet.


They can use Quicksilver into linking the Avengers with the Inhumans since Quicksilver marries one.

Comic relief then!

has Quicksilver/Pietro been cast, yet?

i think it's genius to fluff up the Avengers cast w/ more heros, so that if/when the 'big guns' like RDJ decide to walk away they can always go forward with a different team.

that has always been an issue with X-Men for me. How there was no utilization of the different teams and the cast wasn't more revolving/evolving.

So much for Saorise Ronan as Wanda.
=/

wasn't it confirmed she turned the role down, or something?

The only limit is that Fox has exclusive rights to the Super Skrull. Other than that, both Disney and Fox can use the Skrulls.

The guy that plays Kick Ass is supposed to be Quicksilver.

For those wondering about the costume, they're likely to go with something derived from this:

With how Aaron Johnson is talking about Quicksilver, it sounds like he's practically signed. Quickass.


It would be much more interesting if the Avengers recruited Kick-Ass. Now that would be interesting. :D

I see. They can't go full Annihilation. :(

Really?

Aside from modernizing it, I feel they're going to keep it just as revealing.

I kind of hope they do because her costume is pretty awesome.
But don't you think it's a little too much? I always fear that these kind of outfits don't really translate well into live action.
