X-Men: Days Of Future Past Review - 10 Awesome Moments

5. Magneto Is Quicksilver's Father

Comic book fans will be well aware that Magneto is Quicksilver's father, and helpfully, this is subtly hinted at in Days of Future Past, albeit in a non-intrusive way should they not want to directly deal with it in any future X-Men movies. When speaking with Magneto, Quicksilver tells him that his mother used to hang around with a man who could control metal, and while obviously a) there could theoretically be another mutant who could control metal and b) that's not proof that they conceived Quicksilver, it's still a line that would seem completely throwaway if it isn't slyly implying this to be the case. It's not a huge moment of the movie by any means, but for those aware of what it suggests, it provides a decent chuckle.
