Marvel seems to have dropped an actor who revealed one of WandaVisions biggest surprises.

The latest episode of the Disney+ series ended with a huge twist that had been reported online last month.

However, a large number of viewers knew what was coming when the news made its way onto social media.

*Spoilers – you have been warned*

In the episode, Wanda’s brother, Pietro Maximoff aka Quicksilver, returns. Instead of being played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, as he was in Avengers: Age of Ultron, it’s Even Peters that shows up.

This was especially surprising as Peters played the same character in the X-Men franchise, which was not a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The voiceover actor Rhodri Martin, who provided the character’s Spanish dub in the X-Men series, previously announced he had returned to record scenes for WandaVision.

This led fans to cotton onto the fact that Peters’ character would return at some stage in the series.

ComicBookMovie has since noted that Martin’s name was absent from the latest episode’s credits. In his place is Manuel Gimeno.

Considering Martin claimed to have completed work on WandaVision, it seems Marvel has taken swift action to ensure no more spoilers get leaked.
