10 Amazing Supporting Characters You Wish Movies Were Centred On

Fox's X-Men franchise enjoyed some incredible highs, and some painful lows before Disney acquisition of Fox put an end to it. Following on from the outstanding Days of Future Past in 2014 came the underwhelming Apocalypse that really signalled the beginning of the end. Among the many flaws was the use of Quicksilver.

When introduced, Evan Peters' speedy mutant was one of the best parts of Days of Future Past, one of the best X-Men movies, but when it came to Apocalypse he was sidelined for much of the story. He had been made too powerful and had he been involved would have potentially made things too easy for the team.

Apocalypse in itself was crushingly disappointing, and with it being the sixth movie revolving around Professor X and Magneto, and Jennifer Lawrence's performance as Mystique becoming more and more transparent to her disillusion with the role, maybe shifting focus to Quicksilver instead would have been the right decision.

Even in his limited role in the film he had easily the best moment, saving everyone from the burning mansion, and the fact that he was Magneto's son could have been more than just a brief conversation. He was criminally underutilised and deserved far better.
