Marvel Studios officially had
their first mic-drop moment in Episode 5 of
WandaVision
last week, which brought Evan Peters’ Quicksliver from the Fox
X-Men
movies to the MCU. This moment brought a collective gasp from viewers as Marvel brought the shocking reveal only halfway through the season.
WandaVision
has found a way to bring new and exciting action every week, especially blending the stories of what’s going on in Westview and what’s happening outside the bubble with S.W.O.R.D. All things considered,
even with how many jaw-dropping moments arrived this week
, Peters unquestionably stole the show at the last second.

As it turns out, Peters himself shared the same passion for this moment as everyone watching him on Disney+.
EVAN PETERS’ INFECTIOUS ENTHUSIASM
In a recent interview with
Marvel
,
WandaVision
head writer Jac Schaeffer spoke of how much Evan Peters loved playing Pietro Maximoff on the Disney+ show. Schaeffer lauded Peters as a true Marvel fan who is
“always up for the absolute weirdest option”
when it comes to playing his role:
PETERS IS ALREADY AN MCU SUCCESS STORY
“We were rooting for it for so long, and didn’t know if it would be possible. It was complicated to make happen. Evan was always up for it — like, always, always, always. He is a comic book fan, and a Marvel fan. He is always up for the absolute weirdest option. And he’s a pleasure — truly a pleasure to work with.”
There is still a great deal of mystery surrounding this revival of Quicksilver, especially taking into account that
nothing in Westview can be taken at face value
. “Episode 6” will hopefully feature more of Peters’ story as Pietro, and it’s guaranteed to be something special considering how the season has started.
WandaVision
will continue with its next episode on Friday, February 12.
