Is Pietro Maximoff the son of Erik Lehnsherr?
I know outside movie canon, Peter Maximoff, also known as QuickSilver, is the son of Magneto in comics. However, what about him in this "X-Men: Days of Future Past" and X-Men movies, is he the son of Magneto/Erik? While saving Eric, he didn't know that they seem to don't know each other. Although, he does says his mother once knew a guy who could control metal.
Pietro Maximoff: They told me you control metal.
Erik Lehnsherr: "They"?
Pietro Maximoff: You know, my mom once knew a guy who could do that.
Is it only a joke in the movie or are the filmmakers implying that he is the son of Eric?
Best Answer
In X-Men: Days of Future Past it was considered just a joke / wink to the knowledgeable audience.
However, it was explicitly stated in X-Men - Apocalypse that Magneto was Quicksilver's father.
Edited Dialogue:
Quicksilver: "Do you know him...Magneto?"
Mystique: "Why do you care so much? You see his speech on TV or something?"
Quicksilver: "Yeah, but...He's my father."
Mystique: "What?"
Quicksilver: "Him and my mom, they did it. Yeah. He left my mom before I was born. I met him 10 years back...but I didn't know it was him. By the time I figured it out,it was too late."
