Aaron Taylor-Johnson questioned Quicksilver's role in 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron'

Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen star together in Godzilla, which hits theaters on May 16, and the two will team up as brother and sister in The Avengers: Age of Ultron as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, respectively. But the actor revealed in a recent interview that it took quite a bit of convincing for him to do the movie.

Taylor-Johnson spoke to I Am Rogue and said he had lengthy conversations with writer/director Joss Whedon about his character:

"Just before I started Godzilla I met Joss. He said to me, 'Do you want to be in Avengers 2? There is a super hero I'm thinking of for you.' The thing for me was for him, 'Why add any more super heroes to this thing?' He said, 'No, there are these two characters that I want to bring in to like f*ck with the Avengers and not be just an add on.' He told me a little bit about the writing and I said that the only reason I would want to do it is if it is a character that can still stand out.

"You know, you've got five of the most awesome super heroes, ten I suppose, there are about ten Avengers now, and they are all movie stars. You've got such a huge cast, what the hell difference is it going to make if I come on the scene? So it was the character and that took about a year of going back and forth about it. It took a while but I'm super happy to be in that one."
