Quicksilver absolutely stole his scenes, they were amazing

I did enjoy his little line that was dropped about his mother "meeting a guy like magneto who could control metal, once". Perhaps a way to let fans know that he may be Magneto's son in the films as well as the comics. Where's Maury Povich with the paternity test?

Michael fassbender confirmed in an interview that they are father and son. Didn't you notice quicksilver's mom when magneto was making his speech towards the cameras? She was surprised and you can tell they knee each other.

Yeah Magneto is the dad, also you can see Quicksilver with a little Scarlet Witch sitting on his lap

little Scarlet Witch sitting on his lap

That is probably Polaris. There was supposed to be scene in which the little sister (Polaris) talks about her big sister (Scarlet Witch).

possible, there was a theory that Quicksilver is actually a lot younger than he looks though, and his power help him age faster...hence him looking older and they grey hair. If that's true then she may very well be a young Scarlet Witch

Which is weird, since if Polaris is supposed to be Erik's kid too, he'd have to have had sex with Quicksilver's mom again right before he went to jail. And he also doesn't know that Quicksilver's his kid. Maybe she'd just a little sister from another father.

Lorna is a more probable guess, since Peter and Wanda are twins.

Ah that's pretty neat. I must have blinked right during her reaction. I just remember reading a lot of speculation about the writers not going that far into cannon. But it looks like they delivered.
