It is confirmed via Joss Whedon that Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver will be added to the cast of Avengers 2.
Very interesting choice, I mean Scarlet Witch can manipulate space and time to the point she erased all but like 100 some mutants just by saying "No More Mutants"
Quick Silver has super speed. Not to mention the SON of Magneto.
I am officially stoked to see what they do with these characters. But makes me wonder if Marvel Studio's have a deal with Fox to use some mutants. Because I was under the understanding that all rights to the mutants belong to Fox and the X-men franchise. Also we saw the Iron Patriot in iron Man 3. Which originally in the comic was piloted by none other than Norman Osbourn. Which is owned by Sony.
So it looks like perhaps Marvel are having back room meetings to get access to some of it's characters that belong to other studios.
Needless to say I think added some mutants to the mix should add for some interesting dynamics. Not to mention as Joss pointed out, Basically all of the Avengers in part 1 were "Punchy Powers" As to where Quicksilver has a visually appealing super speed and Witch cast very visual spell's.
