Courtesy of Twentieth Century Fox, Entertainment Weekly has debuted a new still of Evan Peters as Quicksilver in X-Men: Days of Future Past

Check out Quicksilver running sideways in the image below:The film’s screenwriter, Simon Kinberg, spoke with EW about the character, calling him “an ADD kid.” Kinberg describes the characters as “popping and zipping around” and says, “He doesn’t take anything seriously. He’s not in a situation for more than a few seconds.”From the sounds of Kinberg’s description, the character’s personality seems to fall in line with the comic book version, when it comes to snark and short-temper.

Kinberg does make mention of the character’s relationship to Magneto, noting, “Quicksilver is Magneto’s son in the comics and there may be an allusion to it in the movie,” however he notes, “But it’s not something we fully explore yet.”Something to look forward to in X-Men: Apocalypse, perhaps?

X-Men: Days of Future Past hits theatres on May 23, 2014.
