Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are, through a loophole in the licensing, allowed to be in both Fox's X-Men series (due to them being mutants) and Marvel's Avengers series (due to them being long-time Avengers). Fox is, so far, passing on Scarlet Witch, but weirdly enough, a different interpretation of Quicksilver is going to be in the upcoming X-Men movie.

Sigh. Such is the world of comic book movies.

Spoiler!

there was someone who could do the covert "other orders" actions on board the Lemurian Star, but also to provide balance to Captain America. He's getting his footing in a strange land, so he needs people he can identify with. Falcon is one, but even he doesn't also provide the contrast in personality she does; he is an honorable person who is having to live in a dishonorable world, while she is just the opposite. Both of their characters are strengthened from their relationship, and this is the logical place for her to be after Avengers.

Plus, she big-sisters him into asking out Sharon, and he (let's face it) kinds of needs to be big-sistered (or at least, big-siblinged).

Dang well that's bs. I thought X-Men was Marvel? How can they split up certain sections to different companies? That's foolish. And yeah I had no gripes about Black Widow being in the movie. She did provide the other side of the coin to Captain essentially. Thanks for expert knowledge on this stuff!
