This is FAR from a full confirmation. I still call it a rumor at this point.

Far from confirmation, but Feige's subsequent statement about how "The draft could change in 6 months" seems like it leans towards it being true. I took it as them acknowledging they're in the script as of now, but that doesn't mean they're definitely in the movie.

[DebkoX]

At the time of writing these two characters are in the script.

[Phil Clark]

Schrödinger's cat.

Nobody has said definitively "Yes, they are in the script" or "No, they are not in the script".

This is a great opportunity for Marvel Studios to show FOX once again how it's done...

Marvel could drop the "Mutant" part and just call them "Metahumans"

As for being "Magneto's Children" FOX has never been partial to following any character's true backstory let alone relatives in the X-men franchise just ask Prof X about trading Juggernaut for Mystique.

Plus with all the Adamantium bullets and BarakaPool eff up's. What gives fans faith FOX would adhere to this brother/sister duo anyway...? Scott and Alex Summers haven't even been confirmed as brothers in this ridiculous franchise.

Anyway I'm really looking forward to seeing this film.

So...if it was a "no" then why would Kevin Feige even entertain the notion???

Marvel shot down that World War Hulk rumor real quick. So if not them then which other brother sister duo with Avengers ties could Whedon had been referring to....?

[Phil Clark]

Feige neither confirmed nor denied the notion which doesn't equate to entertaining the notion. Maybe they're in it, maybe they aren't. But calling THIS bit of news a confirmation is stretching the meaning of "confirmation" to the breaking point.

I'll believe it if I see some concrete proof that supports this news

[Deep_Sleeper]

I don't know why, but I just got a chill when I thought about a possible scene in Avengers 2 where Scarlet Witch talks to an old man who she refers to as father about things and the man turns around to reveal...Ian McKellan!

How frikkin' cool would that be?

[Phil Clark]

Nah... I wouldn't count on that. I see Marvel wanting someone more physically imposing than Ian McKellan. And they would be walking to tight a legal tightrope. They won't even acknowledge their father in the Avengers. They will hold that for the time down the road when Marvel gets X-Men back.

They could say they cast Ian McKellan for the role of the father. I don't know...I don't think there's a legality issue there. The only thing that can be deemed from a scene like that is the allusion that Ian McKellan is Magneto. That cannot be proven.

Harry Lloyd would be a perfect Quicksilver. Even looked the part in Game of Thrones.

[Kalen O.]

Well, the Entertainment Weekly article said 'a source confirms that they are in this draft of the script', and Kevin Feige said 'I'm not confirming or denying', so likely they are in this draft of the script, as stated. But that said, the Wasp was originally in a draft of the Avengers script, and Whedon cut her because the cast was too large. So all this really confirms is Whedon wants them in the movie, logistics still remain to be determined.

[Phil Clark]

We all know that unnamed sources don't often turn out to be reliable. And since the source is unnamed, I don't consider that a confirmation in any way. And since a Script is in existence now, Feige isn't going to confirm or deny anything. Very politician like.
