Is Quicksilver going to get his own X-Men solo film?
Before the movie came out, a lot of people were criticizing the look of Quicksilver in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Bryan Singer was able to hush the naysayers, since Quicksilver’s scenes easily stole the show.
In an interview with Newsarama, X-Men: Day of Future Past second unit director Brian Smrz said that he was mostly responsible for directing the prison escape 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.”
Smrz then talked about the possibility of a solo Quicksilver film.
“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.”
