We’ve already seen X-Men: Days of Future Past here at IGN Towers, and can guarantee that Quicksilver is going to be one of the most popular new mutants in the flick. So it’s no surprise that the film’s screenwriter Simon Kinberg is saying that the character will have a much bigger part to play in forthcoming sequel X-Men: Apocalypse.

“The plan was to use him in the next X-Men movie and have him expand his part and grow into the franchise” explained Kinberg. “That was the thought. But now people have seen the movie and he’s one of the most beloved things in the film universally, there’s no question that he’s going to be a big part of the next movie.”Actor Evan Peters is also great in the role, and Kinberg added that he’ll have more to work with in the sequel: “Hopefully we can do more some unique things with his powers, and go a little deeper with the character too.”X-Men: Days of Future Past is released worldwide this week, Apocalypse hits May 2016, and if you want to see Kinberg talking about Avengers: Age of Ultron's Quicksilver, check out the video below.
