WandaVision episode 5 — out February 5 on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar — just possibly laid the groundwork for the X-Men's entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. At the very end of the new episode, Quicksilver (Evan Peters) arrives at the Vision residence to greet his very surprised sister Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen). Now this is weird on multiple counts. For one, Wanda's brother Pietro Maximoff / Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) died in Avengers: Age of Ultron. So if you expected another character to be resurrected, à la Vision (Paul Bettany), you would think it would be the Taylor-Johnson version of the character. Secondly, Peters' Quicksilver is not only called Peter (not Pietro) Maximoff but is the son of Magneto (Michael Fassbender), so he comes from Fox's X-Men universe.
