Fresh from the news that Bryan Singer has beaten Joss Whedon to getting Quicksilver cast in X-Men: Days Of Future Past in the first gunshot in a potential war between 20th Century Fox and Disney over their Marvel movies, The Host and Byzantium star Saoirse Ronan has thrown her backing behind Whedon’s take on the superpowered brother/sister combo.

Reacting to rumours that she was being used as the archetype for a younger Scarlet Witch in Whedon’s Avengers Assemble 2, Ronan told The Mary Sue, “I have heard about it and yes, I would.

“Yeah, of course I would,” Ronan added. “I love Joss and I love those films, and I love his handle on them and how he portrayed these kinds of superheroes. I think it’s very different from what anyone else has done. So yeah, I’d love to be in it.”
