Joss Whedon Hinting Again That Scarlet Witch And Quicksilver Might Be Villains In AVENGERS 2?

While promoting his new feature film Much Ado About Nothing, Joss Whedon spoke briefly on The Tavis Smiley Show (via CBM) about the sequel. He talked about including Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver in Avengers 2. Which seemingly hinted to their history of being foes of The Avengers. An aspect that has been sort of hinted at previously by Joss. The main villain of the sequel seemingly might come down to Thanos, The Collector (Benicio Del Toro?) or Ronan The Accuser but it's sounding like the Maximoff twins will also give The Avengers some conflict. It's not known if Evan Peters (Kick-Ass, American Horror Story) will also play Quicksilver in the sequel, after being cast in the role for X-Men Days of Future Past.

"We are introducing Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch who are mainstays of The Avengers universe, they're foes, they've been allies and they're very interesting to me because I grew up reading The Avengers. They have powers that are visually exciting, different from the characters we've seen before so I'm excited to knock them against The Avengers and see what shakes loose." 

Jude Law Laments Missing Out On WATCHMEN And Interested In DC/Marvel Role

During an interview with Collider actor Jude Law (Sherlock Holmes, Contagion, Bitter Pill, Enemy At The Gates) was asked if he would be interested in a comic book movie role. He went on to explain a missed opurtinity to have a role in Zack Snyder's Watchmen. However, still seems open to the idea of being apart of the Marvel or DC (Justice League) film universes. Jude doesn't confirm there are currently talks but he might have some spare time until Sherlock Holmes 3 is put into production. I'm also sure his relationship with Robert Downey Jr. and Warner Bros. wouldn't hurt his chances either.

"I’m a massive comic book fan. I was buying weekly installments of “The Watchmen”, and “From Hell”, and “Parallax” and “Johnny Nemo”. I was a huge comic book fan as a kid and I still am, I still am to a degree. Me and my youngest son are both comic book nerds together; make models and stuff. My oldest son thinks I’m a terrible geek. But I don’t care, my youngest son gets me, he always does. Yeah, it’s definitely something I would like to get involved in if, again if the director’s right and the piece is right and the part is right. I was sad not to be a part of Watchmen when they made the movie, but I was busy doing something else." 

"That’s a good idea. I mean, I’m quite interested at the moment, nothing's lined up, but I’m quite interested at the moment to do something a little more action-y, I’ve done quite a few quite cerebral, period movies and I’d quite like to do something like that."

A couple of characters come to mind when thinking of who Jude Law could play in either cinematic worlds. I think he could make a decent Hank Pym/Scott Lang (Ant-Man), Joey Chapman (Union Jack), Balder The Brave, Baron Stucker or Ulysses Klaw. When it comes to DC the roles are a bit limited but I'd say he could do well as The Flash or villains such as Lex Luthor or Brainiac.
