Peters played the speedster in the 20th Century Fox X-Men film saga, which has been considered separate from the MCU up until now. Wanda's twin brother was killed during the Avengers' battle with Ultron in 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron, but the real shocker is Peters is playing the WandaVision version of Pietro, not Quicksilver's MCU actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

In WandaVision Episode 8, we don’t get a lot of hints or clues that it’s the case, but we do know this character is “real” and not randomly brought the life like Westview Vision.WandaVision has been full of wild twists from the very start, but Episode 5 ended with its most shocking moment yet. I feel rather uneducated to talk about this theory in great depth, and better writers than I will definitely break this down in great detail, but one of the main theories running around ever since episode five revolves around the idea that the Evan Peters version of Pietro is actually Mephisto. Bringing Evan Peters as Quicksilver into WandaVision was an idea suggested early on and one that the studio decided to stick with.

However, in typical fashion, WandaVision Episode 8 also left us more questions than answers. The episode itself left us with a lot of answers. As a warning, since this post is being published so early after the show’s airing, spoilers will follow immediately, as will a very light Mephisto theory.
