The Maximoffs? Who the heck are the Maximoffs? They're the newest addition to the Avengers, according to a rumor currently circling around the "Avengers 2" script. Comic Book Movie has an unnamed source saying that, because of legal reasons, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver may not be able to use their "mutant names" in the Joss Whedon film.
"According to a person within the script writing community, as of right now it is being whispered through the rumor mill that Whedon is not calling the new additions to the Avengers team by their 'mutant names' of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. They are being called Wanda and Pietro Maximoff."
I'm a bit curious about this alleged "script writing community," especially one that apparently counts Joss Whedon as a member, or people close enough to Whedon to have read the surely top secret script. But what's the deal? I mean, sure, as much fun as it's going to be to hear Samuel L. Jackson say "Pietro" and "Wanda" repeatedly, the characters need to have code names if they're going to team up with people called Iron Man and Captain America.
