'WandaVision' finale: Director reveals there will be more of Evan Peters' Quicksilver

Marvel and Disney's much-acclaimed show WandaVision has been garnering massive popularity among fans and audiences. With just one episode left, Marvel forums, social media sites, and Reddit are filled with fan theories, speculations, and potential leaks. The series also had a lot of shocking moments, including Evan Peters presenting himself as Wanda's dead brother, Pietro, in episode 5, a role he played in the X-Men franchise. However, during a recent interview, director Matt Shakman teases that there will be more of Evan Peters in the WandaVision finale.

During an interview with Fandom, the director spoke about the opportunity to include Peters in the series revealing that he was so super excited as he is a huge fan of Evan and also that he is 'amazingly talented’. Matt added that he was thrilled as they were able to make that work. He also said that it was an early idea that they had to really make sure they did right.

Shakman spoke about how difficult it was to keep the fake Quicksilver's role in WandaVision a secret so that the surprise cameo wouldn't be exposed. The filmmaker joked that they had to 'hide him under capes and towels,' but that they didn't 'quite make it air,' the director said, referring to the character's leaked appearance a few days before the release.

Matt Shakman also teases that Peters' character is still expected to return. That said, his lips are sealed with particular information concerning his remaining involvement in the sequence. Shakman said that he feels there's a powerful chance that one might get a little extra from the development of Evan Peters. However, he wouldn't want to say how that works.
