Fans take over Twitter and trend 'Save Quicksilver' after 'WandaVision' finale twist

WandaVision came to an end last week after nine episodes. While the show has received a lot of love from fans and critics, there is one aspect about it that hasn't gone down well with everyone. Evan Peters who played Quicksilver in X-Men films made a surprise appearance and many assumed that the show was introducing the multiverse and that the actor was playing the same character he portrayed in the X-Men films. But, when it was revealed that he was not playing Quicksilver, fans took to Twitter and expressed their disappointment.

"Save Quicksilver" trends on Twitter

WandaVision's finale revealed that Evan was playing a man named Ralph Bohner, who was being manipulated by Agatha Harkness played by Kathryn Hahn. Some fans found this to be a hilarious twist, whereas others are upset that Evan’s Quicksilver was "wasted" as a pun. #SaveQuicksilver is now trending on Twitter and fans are showing love for Evan and also Avengers: Age of Ultron's Quicksilver, Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Take a look below.

Who is Ralph Bohner?

He possessed superhuman speed and posed as Pietro Maximoff to get close to Wanda Maximoff with the help of dark magic. He tried to extract information about how she had created the Hex. In the final episode, it was revealed that Ralph Bohner was under Agatha Harkness' spell. The character Evan Peters played turned out to be just another citizen of Westview.
