New or Recurring? New. Sort of.
Last Seen In: While Quicksilver is new to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the character of Quicksilver made a brief appearance in Bryan Singer’s 2014 blockbuster "X-Men: Days of Future Past," where he was played by Evan Peters (in probably the most memorable scene in the entire movie). So even if this is a technically "new" character, chances are you’ll recognize the bleached-out hair and super speed from another, different franchise based on another, different Marvel property.
This Time Around: Quicksilver sticks closer to his Eastern European origins, as a a twin to Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) who voluntarily subjected himself to Hydra medical experiments (it’s unclear whether those experiments gave him the powers of if they merely enhanced them). Quicksilver’s life had been touched by the Avengers before (and not in a good way) and he oscillates, speedily, between good and evil.
Will He Be Back? Unknown.
