You know that awesome Quicksilver prison break scene that we all loved from X-Men: Days of Future Past? Well, second unit director Brian Smrz revealed in an interview with Newsarama that it was he who did most of the work on bringing that scene to life instead of director Bryan Singer. He also throws out a few hints about X-Men: Apocalypse and a possible solo movie for Quicksilver. Here's what he said about working on the prison break scene:
"Probably the most memorable part of the film was getting the chance to work closely with almost all of the main cast in various scenes. As far as a particular scene that sticks out the most, I’d say the kitchen sequence with Quicksilver. I ended up doing a lot of that," he revealed before adding, "I did most of it, to be honest. I have a great relationship with Bryan Singer, and he really let me do a lot there. The scenes where they enter, as well as parts where they’re frozen – I did most of it. It’s very time consuming, especially with the phantom camera and the rain. Bryan was there and did some of the key parts, but I did the rest."
When asked what we should expect from the sequel, he wouldn't give away many details away. But he did say that there will be another Quicksilver scene, and that he is really looking forward to doing it. Smrz was then asked if he was interested in directing his own movies, and if there are any currently in the pipeline. This was his reply:
"We talked about Quicksilver before, I’d love to do a Quicksilver as a solo film because there’s a lot to enjoy with that character. But I’m not geared just towards superhero movies; for me it’s about great main characters, and finding movies that have that."
So there has at least been some talk about a standalone Quicksilver movie, which would be amazing. There was a rumor that hit a couple weeks ago about Quicksilver possibly leading a new X-Men TV series that is in development. Nothing has been confirmed for that though, which means anything could happen with the character at this point. All I know is that I would love to see more Quicksilver.
