X-Men: Apocalypse Will Answer Whether Magneto Is Quicksilver Is Magneto's Father Or Not

X-Men: Days Of Future Past left fans with a lot of questions about Quicksilver. Why did Xavier and Magneto leave him in America when he would have definitely been useful later on (answer: no idea)? How would Marvel top this with their version in Avengers: Age Of Ultron (answer: they didn't)? But biggest of all was whether or not Evan Peters' super-fast mutant really was the son of Magneto. That's certainly the case in the comics, and there even was a coy nod to it at one point (while busting Erik out of the Pentagon, Peter remarks that his mother knew someone who could manipulate metal), but no resolute conclusion was made. Well, that big question won't be left unanswered for long: according to Peters himself (speaking with Details), that's going to be central to his arc in next year's X-Men: Apocalypse:

"The story is that my character is searching for his father and wants to find him. It starts there and then he jumps on the X-Men train and gets sucked up in this whole Apocalypse madness: He tries to stop him from destroying the world."

The actor doesn't even flirt with revealing whether or not that father is Michael Fassbender's Magneto or not, but it's a fair bet that's the way things will go - after Days Of Future Past cleared up the franchise's myriad of continuity problems, Apocalypse looks to be getting the series to a more comic book-infused status quo. Also, the film is set in 1983 and the first released image from the set showed a cinema playing Return Of The Jedi - surely it'll be hard for Bryan Singer to resist making some sort of parallel? X-Men: Apocalypse is in cinemas from 19th May 2016 in the UK and 27th May 2016 in the US.
